Blowing Up an NBA Team Is Never the Only Option

Jonathan Tjarks:

Winning a championship is the ultimate goal for every NBA franchise, but making that the sole benchmark for success is setting up the other 29 teams for heartbreak every year. Only 10 franchises have won an NBA title since 1984. The odds are that your favorite team isn’t going to win a championship. There has to be a middle ground. Life is too short to live any other way.

It’s hard to argue this point with fans who always bounce around to the hottest team in the league. Those kind of fans don’t understand the degree of difficulty it takes to win a ring. For them, it’s as easy as cheering for the better team.

Otherwise, I’ll keep working. 1 Every month I go through each service that’s connected to nashp.com — memberships, merchandise, album sales, Tip Jar, etc. — and when transferring those little balances into my bank account, and seeing them collectively become a small paycheck, it’s always fascinating. A bunch of little buckets working together for the bigger picture. Thank you.↩

Three things I’m thankful for each day. Can’t be used twice.
