A small French basketball update:
Paris Basketball had a really up-and-down season, 12 players left/traded/bought out after last season.
We didn’t make the Euroleague playoffs and in the domestic league we kept showing up against big teams but struggling against smaller ones.
Today was the last “match day” and we were 3rd in the league. Coming into this, anyone from 1st (Monaco) through 4th could’ve snatched the first place, and finish on top of the regular season before the play-ins next week.
We won, tonight, against Tony Parker’s ASVEL (87-76), and our rivals lost, therefore ensuring 1st place and homecourt advantage. LFG!
Your favorite French Washington Wizards fan, just here to say: WE ARE SO BACK! #NBA #DraftLottery
The Wizards with the first pick at this year’s draft lottery, and (I would assume) AJ Dybantsa.
As a fan who’s suffered basically ever since John Wall’s injuries derailed a few things circa 2019, it’s been a long time overdue for a little luck on our side!
As a recent fan of Baseball (I binged Ken Burn’s Baseball documentary series during COVID Lockdown, and that was what really (re-)introduced me to Baseball) this was a really fun read!
First supporting our friend Jamaican-Caribbean friend Sutanya (aka Dinner For One) who held a pop-up residency at Comptoir Sur Mer, a local seafood establishment next to the Canal St Martin — she was co-hosting along with another fellow caribbean cheffe and we had a blast discovering these incredible flavors.
Next up: a pit stop at Buddy Buddy, a place I’d been waiting to try for a while, which happened to be just a bloc behind the restaurant.
And later: a long walk with my wife & daughter to head home on foot :)
