After 30 years at USA TODAY, it's -30- for me. I have taken a buyout. It's been the thrill and dream of a lifetime. Being a newspaper person was all I ever wanted out of work. There's not enough room to acknowledge everyone who deserves it but my gratitude runs wide and deep.

Drinking coffee in downtown Oklahoma City and based on outfits, it appears a city ordinance requires 90% of employees at all businesses to wear Thunder apparel today.

Statement from Thunder VP/GM Sam Presti on winning 2024-25 NBA executive of the year. Very cool of Sam to mention a handful former execs, some of whom don’t have modern-day name recognition but were instrumental in team-building.

Raised to be a priest, Pascal Siakam's lessons have made Pacers believers
Since his arrival midseason last year, Pascal Siakam hasn't tried to take over the Pacers, but simply provide what it was missing.
Pascal Siakam didn't play much in the way of organized basketball until he was 17 so he's always felt and still feels like he's catching up. But the Pacers are the first team he's been on that wants him to stand up and lead. On how he's adjusted to that: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Plenty of overrated talk. How about underrated? That's Pascal Siakam, who just keeps showing up
Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 24 points and hit a critical 3-pointer that ended the Bucks' fourth-quarter run, giving Indiana a 2-0 series lead.
Pascal Siakam had a wide open 3 and making it was basically his job. The Pacers had home-court advantage, so winning Games 1 and 2 was basically their job. Still, it matters that they held on and pulled it off and it matters that Siakam has been their rock: www.indystar.com/story/sports...
