I’m the proud girl dad of Parker. It’s my duty to protect and provide, to give her the game and show her the way. With her as my inspiration, I present “Money Talks,” an independent financial literacy journal chronicling our journey to financial freedom. open.substack.com/pub/moneytalks…
For my debut story at @TheAthletic, I pulled up to watch Derrick Rose play chess. He’s seemingly found fulfillment in his new obsession. Now he’s out here hoping to grow the game: nytimes.com/athletic/64992…
Thought I’d heard it all in pro sports… until my new role dropped this on me: OOPSY projection. This is real. I work here now.

Bulls fans, meet @JoelXLorenzi, your new beat writer @TheAthletic. He’s from Chicago. And you’re in extremely good hands.
News: This was my last week at The Oklahoman. I’m moving back home to cover the Bulls for The Athletic. Thankful that @jeffpattOKC and the crew embraced me. They gave me the shot I always wanted. Appreciative of @glennyoder and this staff for their belief in me and my path.
The Pacers, meticulously and mostly successfully, spent three years building a contender around their star, Tyrese Haliburton. And in an instant, his and their work in making Game 7 of the Finals came undone. With @curlyfro & @sam_amick, in @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/64445…

BREAKING: CHSN and Comcast finalized a carriage deal late last night. The channel is now live. All the details ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/64064…
I keep reading and listening to people talk about OKC as a blueprint. At some point folks will learn that there is no NBA blueprint. Why? Because game play rules and trends change and CBAs change. There are so many factors that go into a team being successful.
With tonight once again possibly being “The End” of an era, this outstanding piece by @davidaldridgedc giving us a window into his time working with one of the most impactful productions in sports is worth a read. nytimes.com/athletic/55311…
