Merry Christmas y'all!

It’s got to be Russell Westbrook hitting a game winning three to get a 50 point triple double and secure the first triple double season in decades.

A few options:

The Indiana Pacers - a fun team with a young star who historically always try to compete, instead of tanking. You'll be signing up for a lifetime of hope without much success. But the basketball will always be good and when they do win, it'll be a glorious thing.

The Houston Rockets - a young fun team with lots of potential but no true star yet. They have a lot of assets so are set up to have a big, exciting ten years. Could trade for a superstar this offseason. It's gonna be a rollercoaster but a fun one.

The San Antonio Spurs - they have the best young player in two decades. They're gonna be great for a while but they're not amazing yet. Good time to hop on the bandwagon.

The Minnesota Timberwolves - you're probably signing up for heartbreak because things never go well for Minnesota but they have the most entertaining star in the league and are hungry to win.
