Hear me out. Both LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony have spoken publicly about buying into an @nba.com franchise ( @washwizards.bsky.social and Vegas expansion, respectively). Say LBJ retires and teams up with Melo to buy @trailblazers.bsky.social instead? Then later they bring in Dame too 🤷‍♂️

Once upon a time I looked so much like Layne Staley, the lead singer of Alice In Chains, that when I was working for a label and running around in Seattle I’d actually sign autographs for a laugh (I have seen my version of it on eBay 🤫). My buddy texted me this photo today & it all came back
