"You smell like outside." Imagine coming inside after a grueling seven-game series of driveway basketball against your dad and you are just starving for Papa John's. We look back at the absolute glory of lowering the hoop to seven and a half feet to try Vince Carter dunks and the ultimate Heisman moment of your dad walking through the door with three pizzas. Plus, we settle the bracket for the fakest work weeks of the year and figure out which Thanksgiving side dishes compare to NBA legends.
