Nice review on Indiana. They could repeat if everything falls right for them. I like them as much as anyone.

Tulsa has some energy going for sure. Will be interesting to see how they come together. From a marketing standpoint Diggins is the real deal.

Treating Griner like Gandhi is already getting old and its only been a couple weeks. She and her handlers need to get off their political soapbox and concentrate on basketball. I'd add that what is popular and politically correct in the NY Times market doesn't necessarily play the same in PHX. That's coming from someone that lives here.

Thanks for the props. And I think Tulsa is poised to be great.

The Griner story deserves all the press it's getting. The girl's got major, major guts, and this is a big deal.

Being who you are has nothing to do with political correctness.

Anonymous, please read "Who should ask? Who should tell?" by Mechelle Voepel. As she writes, "There will be those who ask, "Why does any of this matter?" My answer is simple: Because as long as people still believe they must hide something that should be a matter-of-fact part of their lives, there is still a stigma attached to it."

People who say that supporting LGBT folks means they're being "politically correct" have much to learn.
