The year was 2001, and I was inside what was then known as Washington, DC’s MCI Center with my dad, a lifelong NBA fan. Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, and Allen Iverson, who’d be named MVP of the big game, were on the court at the NBA All-Star Game.
The building was electric, and the game was good — but that was 15 years ago. Ask any NBA fan today, and they’ll tell you that last week’s All-Star Weekend in San Francisco was boring, confusing, and didn’t have enough (checks notes) actual basketball.
I won’t belabor the critiques. They’re everywhere if you look online. So, instead, here’s what the NBA should do if they insist on making us watch. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, I hope you’re reading.
Good luck next year! I’ll be watching either way.

As a teenager, Jaime Bortz helped care for her father, who had Alzheimer’s at a young age. Now at 39 years old, her memories are slipping away, much like they did for her dad and two half-brothers. They inherited a rare gene mutation called PSEN1, making them part of the 1% of people with dementia who have early-onset familial Alzheimer’s.
Jaime’s mother, Bonnie Bortz, now cares for Jaime and her 9-year-old daughter. Even though cases like Jaime’s have helped to usher in a new class of Alzheimer’s drugs, researchers still have a ways to go in understanding the disease.

Bill Koch recently relisted his 53-acre Colorado property for sale. The Aspen compound consists of eight structures, with the main lodge alone measuring 16,600 square feet. Amenities include hot tubs, a fitness center, and ponds.
The property’s asking price is a casual $125 million. Koch originally purchased the property in 2007 for $26.5 million. If the compound is sold at Koch’s asking price, it would break the record for the most expensive sale in Aspen.

Putting others’ needs first, struggling to make decisions, stressing over how to “keep everyone happy” — that’s just a day in the life of a people pleaser. While this behavior — often learned in childhood — may seem positive, it can also be destructive. People pleasers usually ignore or discount their emotional needs.
Therapists shared with BI how people-pleasing can complicate relationships and life choices — and how to cope.

The “Pitch Perfect” star is working hard, but she’s also mastering the art of leaving work at the door. In the latest installment of BI’s “5 to 9” series, the actor shared some of her go-to ways to decompress: shutting off her phone, experimenting with new recipes, and working out.
Still, balance is key to Steinfeld. She also likes to watch Netflix’s “Peaky Blinders,” whip up Sunday morning pancakes, and spend time with loved ones. And she appreciates a good margarita.
Striking a balance between work and play.
