Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry aren’t available. Game 7 of the NBA Finals. You’re down 1 with 5 seconds left. Name a player you’re trusting to take the last shot.

Jaylen Brown says he bought a gold harp, and now has someone come over twice a week to play it as the sun goes down while his chef cooks dinner “My favorite purchase, I think my best, my most favorite purchase was, I bought a harp.
