In 2022, after walking off the court like Eva Perón as portrayed by Madonna, after finishing seventh in the West and bowing out with an unremarkable, 2-4 first round loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves Center Karl Anthony Towns took out a one-page ad that easily could’ve been an email in the Star Tribune, thanking fans for the season, and reaffirming his dedication to his team and the state of Minnesota. The ad reads like a Players Tribune post that was rejected by the site’s founder and uncredited editor-in-chief, Derek Jeter, because there were simply “too many bland cliches”.

The Celtics were blessed with the easiest run to the NBA Finals of all time
