As a Chicagoan who was around in 2010… I see you, I feel you. Where else could Jimmy Buckets have come from, but a Thibs squad? Who else would have worn Luol Deng into cartilage and distress? No one loves heart more than Thibs, and no one abuses it so.

Finally read this, and as much as it it pains me (as a Philly/Detroit fan - you can ask if you want a long story) but the 'Nova Knicks begrudgingly earned my respect and my attention, none more so than Josh Hart. He had no right to be that good to and do all those things that he did in the playoffs. And yet, he did them and he KEPT DOING THEM, until he could literally do them no longer. There are gonna be some BATTLES for the next few years up-and-down-95, and I am looking forward to them.

Hi Loren! Not sure what you mean here, but you can find more of Abe's writing all over the internet. For basketball writing, he's done great stories throughout the playoffs at SB Nation, and for cultural writing, you can find his byline at GQ.
