    I'd like to see Anthony Edwards become the next Michael Jordan. He usually plays good defense and seems to have that killer instinct.

    NBA

    I am glad to see the youngsters are replacing the old guard (Lebron, Steph, KD, etc.) in the playoffs. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown for the Celtics, Luka Doncic for the Mavericks, Tyrese Haliburton for the Pacers and Anthony Edwards for the Timberwolves — are all in their 20s. Edwards reminds...

    I spent 30 years in griz country in interior Alaska and had 5 close caĺls. I always carried bear spray and either a rifle or shotgun.
