In the era of the NBA super-team, pinning your hopes on one star is deadly


When teams such as the Warriors have depth throughout their roster, the chances of someone like Anthony Davis dragging his team to the Finals diminish

I have very little hope for the upcoming Donald Trump presidency. I know, I’m really out on a limb with this one. Don’t worry, folks. The rest of this column won’t be nearly as controversial. A xenophobic, racist Batman vigilante figure chasing women around the Oval Office like a billionaire Benny Hill sounds particularly odious to me and about 45 million other people in this country.

But one thing I do know about Donald Trump that could work out in our favor is that he is a sports fan. Sure, he’s the type of sports fan that thinks football players exiting games after concussions are “soft,” but I suppose you could squint and spin that sort of maniacal disgust for the frailty of the human body into “passionate interest.” I’m going to give President-Elect Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt for a moment here, because I need him to do something very important, something that could forever alter the fate of this country: I need him to contract the New Orleans Pelicans. Why? Because they are slowly strangling the life out of Anthony Davis and we cannot allow that to continue.
