The little good “Curried” from Steph does not hide the NBA, and society’s less than mediocre status in my opinion

Down the long road from the end of the Super Bowl until the NCAA Basketball Tournament, I can bring into focus my feelings on the NBA.

Right now I would like to cite one of that league’s few positives, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

Mr. Curry, shamefully denied The Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated in favor of Serena Williams, continues to excel, 51 points in a win, albeit a less than meaningful one in the endless NBA regular season last night.

Just last week, Serena Williams was denied in the finals of the Australian Open by huge underdog, Angelique Kerber.

My point grows, but so what? A great episode of the Dick Cavett Show from Tuesday September 16, 1969, aired on the new channel “Decades” yesterday.

Cavett and his three guests, in order of appearance Joan Rivers, Joe Namath and Adam Clayton Powell Jr, none of whom left their seats to go elsewhere, were all entertaining and humorous.

Mr. Powell came out and also said he would be serious and was decrying the mediocrity in the nation at that time.

With insane buildup for the athletes and yet again less than rousing political candidates on both sides, it is my opinion we live in times far less than mediocre.

Steph Curry and father Dell, two great shooters, the former now an NBA great, the latter a fine player, pictured above. It takes practice, dedication to craft and of course talent to become a great shooter in basketball.

Sadly the practice and dedication to craft are so often lacking in today’s society.
