    *Baseball being as irrelevant as it is now

    * Boxing having zero stars or marquee names

    *someone dropping 60 points on their last NBA game

    *social media humanizing athletes, as far as public perception...dudes are not put on a pedestal for long these days.

    *women becoming more famous than the athletes they with (thanks to reality TV n social media) people seem to care more about Evelyn lozada's n them bball "wives" lives more than the players career they with

    Never thought I'd see the Warriors win a championship.

    I remember when they used to advertise the other teams stars to get people to go out to the games, and all their good players used to leave then become all stars elsewhere.

    I'm a Laker fan but I was happy everyone back home got to see that... Even though a lot of their fans are bandwagons but that's another conversation.

    Yeah I had a cousin that lived in the Bay Area. Her father (my uncle) had seasons tickets to the Warriors back in the 80s and 90s. I used to clown her because the Warriors sucked in the 80s and 90s but she said they used to go to games where the other team was good (i.e. The Bulls).

    Cubbies winning the chip. Never, EVER had that one down.

    Slim Asterisk taking the sucker way to the ring. Didn't think I'd see a person cheat the game SO hard.

    The protest movement get as big as it got. Gotta admit, didn't see it going THAT far.
