Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Al Gore (71) is younger than Donald Trump (73), Joe Biden (76), Bernie Sanders (78) and the same age as Hillary Clinton (71). I think the reasons nobody ever brings his name up is because Manbearpig is so unlikable and some realize what he's been pedaling all these years won't hold up under the close scrutiny he'd receive on the campaign trail... As long as the protests continue in Hong Kong the NBA will not be free of the controversy surrounding their relationship to China. And if China puts down the protests with violence then the NBA is going to have end their business relationship with the communists or the results to their contracts in the US will be catastrophic... I stand by my opinion on the movie Birdman. Love Michael Keaton but this movie was completely overrated crap. Has anyone bothered to rewatch this movie since it came out 5-years ago? You don't ever see it playing on cable. You know why? Because it was crap... Due to the uncertainty of the revenue from China I think Celtics forward/guard Jaylen Brown would be wise to sign rookie contract extension for about $20-25 million a year. That money might not be available in a year because as I noted above the situation in Hong Kong is not going away and if the Chinese revenue goes away the salary cap comes down and teams will have much less to spend... And speaking of China and the NBA...
