We mourn the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna, as it has been 1 year since that dreadful day. With a dark cloud of remembrance looming over us, we experience another tragic loss with the passing of NBA writer Sekou Smith. Prayers out to all their families, they will truly be missed. Even with the pain of loss, I try to continue on with basketball. As i believe it's what they would want for the game. We have MVP talks today, as the first half of the season is coming to an end soon. Tune in NOW to hear the hot takes.
