Hey! Y’all Need to Put Some Damn Respect on My Damn Suns, Dammit
On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors in a back-and-forth duel that was decided by an absurdly clutch three-pointer from LeBron “LeBron James” James.

Another Day, Another NBA All-Star Game Without Devin Booker
Nobody likes to get snubbed. Whether it’s the Oscars, the Grammys, or that promotion we wholeheartedly believe we deserve, there’s nothing worse than busting your ass at work and getting zero recognition for it—especially when people who are far worse are showered with accolades.

Nobody likes to get snubbed. If you bust your ass working on something, you want acknowledgment for your efforts just like everyone else.
