"Unfriending"
A disquieting, subversive story of unchecked narcissism, barbarous intimidation, cold-blooded violence, and the absolute worst friends on Earth.
A pitch black premise and wicked sense of humor lie at the heart of “Unfriending,” a subversive, disquieting, and very funny film from co-writers and co-directors Brett M. Butler and Jason G. Butler. It’s the type of project that is designed to make viewers uncomfortable, especially as it tackles taboo topics like suicide, bullying, and toxic friendships. It’s satirical and challenging in a way…

The Academy Award® winner about star-crossed love that spans the years – and the globe. After her triumph as the lunchroom temptress in the crime classic The Postman Always Rings Twice, Lana Turner expanded her range with Green Dolphin Street. Set in 19th century Europe and New Zealand, this sweeping romance tells the story of two beautiful sisters, one headstrong (Turner) and one gentle (Donna Reed), and of the man (Richard Hart) who marries one even though he loves the other. The film’s riptides of emotion are matched by breathtaking physical tumult: a fierce Maori uprising plus a catastrophic earthquake and tidal wave that earned the film a 1947 Oscar® for special effects. With its dramatic story and spectacular visuals, Green Dolphin Street drew huge audiences for epic moviemaking, being one of the top-ten box office hits of the year.

The job – a career breakthrough – is supposed to go to hoofer Johnny Brett, but a mix-up in names gives it to his partner. Another example of Broadway hopes dashed? Not when Johnny is played by Fred Astaire. Sparkling Cole Porter songs, clever comedy and dance legends Astaire and Eleanor Powell make the final Broadway Melody (co-starring George Murphy) a film to remember. Powell’s nautical “All Ashore" routine (a/k/a I Am the Captain”), Astaire’s blissful “I’ve Got My Eyes on You” and Fred & Eleanor's elaborate routine to Cole Porter's classic "I Concentrate On You" are more than enough to please any fan. But they’re just a warm-up for the leads to tap one finale number into immortality: “Begin the Beguine,” introduced by Frank Sinatra in That’s Entertainment! with, “You can wait around and hope, but you’ll never see the likes of this again.”

Is there a (mad) doctor in the house? “Yes!” shrieks Doctor X, filmed in rare two-strip Technicolor®. An eminent scientist aims to solve a murder spree by re-creating the crimes in a lab filled with all the dials, gizmos, bubbling beakers and crackling electrostatic charges essential to the genre.

The story is a brawling boy-meets-girl-meets-buckshot rivalry. But love finally triumphs when Annie proves that, yes, you can get a man with a gun!

The star of Caddyshack, Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day headlines and codirects this uproarious Big Apple heist-and-pursuit caper. Bill Murray plays Grimm, a frazzled urbanite who disguises himself as a clown – and sets out to rob a bank. Geena Davis and Randy Quaid play accomplices in Grimm’s daring scheme and Jason Robards is the blustery cop caught up in Grimm’s “Clown Day Afternoon.” Swiping a million bucks is a snap compared to getting out of town. Grimm and cohorts commandeer a car, a cab, a bus, a baggage tram and a plane (and encounter future stars Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub in hilarious supporting roles) to make what becomes a less-than-merry escape. But for comedy lovers, Quick Change is a ticket to ride!

Framed for manslaughter after he breaks a story about city corruption, reporter Frank Ross is sure he’ll prove his innocence and walk out of prison a free man. But that’s not how the system works at Rocky Point Penitentiary. There, cellblock guards are vicious, the jute-mill labor is endless, and the powers Ross fought on the outside conspire to keep him in. Frank’s hope is turned to hopelessness. And he’s starting to crack. Two of the screen’s famed tough guys star in this prison movie that casts a reform-minded eye on the brutalizing effects of life in the slammer. James Cagney “hits a white-hot peak as [Ross,] the embittered, stir-crazy fall guy” (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide). And George Raft (Cagney’s friend since their vaudeville days) portrays racketeer Hood Stacey, who may hold the key to springing Ross.

Nick (William Powell) is among the suspects. Asta scrams with what may be the murder weapon. And Nora (Myrna Loy) has her own ideas about the case and sneaks off to a nightclub to ferret out a clue. “Madam, how long have you been leading this double life?” Nick asks. “Just since we’ve been married,” she replies.

A List of Older Fandoms for Quarantine Viewing
I thought it might be fun to put out a list of older fandoms or smaller fandoms that might be of interest to folks here. As we’re all still stuck with quarantine, perhaps you’re looking for some new/old media? Perhaps this list could help?
This is halfway between a rec list and a charting of my own fandom history. For anyone looking for some new fandoms to check out that are various flavors of interesting and a little older, check ‘em out!
Feel free to add your own!
In no specific order (other than maybe my DVD shelf??)
Patrick O’Brien books/Master and Commander - this was a fairly good-sized fandom back when the movie ‘Master and Commander’ came out. A must-watch for anyone who likes historical fiction, age of sail, and powerful homoeroticism.
David Drake’s Royal Cinnabar Navy series - did you ever want Master and Commander in space, but Stephen Maturin is a librarian named Adele Mundy who is a sharpshooter and utterly terrifying and wonderful and beloved ace representation? Fair warning: this series contains grapic descriptions of violence from an author who’s still working through his Vietnam PTSD. Here be dragons.
Adam Adamant Lives! - an Edwardian adventurer got frozen in a block of ice by his arch-nemesis The Face, thawed out in 1969, and now fights crime with a young woman sidekick and an actor-turned-butler who spouts limericks. It is a completely insane show and joyously dumb. Everyone involved is having a whale of a time. It’s hard to come by, but so worth watching it for the pure silliness.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - I can’t believe this has become a fandom some people haven’t heard of, but here we are, far enough out from the massive cultural impact of Buffy that I need to remind folks. 1990s series about a cheerleader-turned-vampire slayer, struggling with both the supernatural and with high school (which is much worse).
Angel - spinoff of Buffy, and in some ways my preferred series? It has so many problems, and the writing of seasons 3 and 4 is quite weak, but the characters are strong, the stories are solid, and Alexis Denisof’s Wesley Wyndam-Pryce remains one of my favorite character arcs in television.
Marble Hornets - here’s another fandom that doesn’t feel like it should be old, but it’s now over a decade since its premiere. One of the early webseries, Marble Hornets is still one of the best. Well done horror with occasionally iffy amateur acting, easily overcome with a surprising touch for cinematography. I’m a sucker for amateur film, especially when it’s well done and ambitious.
Babylon 5 - This was the first fandom I posted about on here, and still one of my great loves. Arcs before arcs on television were a thing. Huge overarching stories playing out over seasons. Great political intrigue on a space station. The grandest, most tragic Shakespearean romance that ever played out between two middle-aged alien diplomats.
Carnivale - HBO prestige show before they had prestige shows. Bought the DVDs on the cover art alone, and they were so worth it: “1934. The Dustbowl. The last great age of magic.” Like most HBO shows, every possible content warning does probably apply to this show, though it’s not nearly as extreme as Game of Thrones, so if you could watch that, you can probably watch Carnivale.
Firefly - space western courtesy of Joss Whedon. Only one series long, but really well done. Probably Whedon’s best work.
Homicide: Life on the Streets - early 1990s police procedural with a twist: it wanted to be a very accurate, realistic portrayal of a homicide unit, based on a documentary novel. The characters all feel real, you’re certain they all smell like cigarettes, coffee, and sweat. Also, can we applaud a show that has a female homicide detective who doesn’t wear makeup, has frizzy red hair, and never wears heels? Kay Howard is such a fantastic character. Frank Pembleton and Tim Bayliss and John Munch and Gee are all such wonderful, real characters. Another great show for prestige-television-before-it-existed.
The Last Detective - British detective series about a detective who gets small, mournful cases ignored by everyone else and solves them mostly through dogged work rather than brilliance. This show is the most melancholy show I have ever seen, shockingly good in the quietest way possible, and remains one of my favorite detective series ever.
M*A*S*H - have you ever wanted a proper tragicomedy billed as a sitcom? There’s a reason this show is still considered the greatest sitcom ever made. Fair warning: the early seasons really haven’t aged well, and a lot of the comedy doesn’t land. But if you’re willing to stick with it to the later seasons, you’ll find a show that shifts toward one of the greatest tragicomedies ever.
Sapphire and Steel - 1970s/1980s British horror/sci-fi show about two mysterious beings that appear to resolve science fiction reinterpretations of horror concepts. Despite a shoestring budget, the writing is phenomenal, and the acting is perfect, particularly the icy intimacy between the two leads, David McCallum and Joanna Lumley.
Sherlock Holmes - before the modern interpretations, there was the 1980s series starring Jeremy Brett. If you want the single most accurate interpretation of Conan Doyle’s work, with characters who feel and look like they’ve stepped off the page (and the series that singlehandedly rehabilitated the character of Inspector Lestrade), this series is a must-watch. This has been my go-to comfort viewing for years.
Also, if you’re a Sherlock Holmes nut, and you’re desperate for more content, and willing to navigate a Cyrillic DVD menu for subtitles, might I suggest the late 70s Russian Sherlock Holmes series? Vasiliy Livanov’s Holmes is such a different interpretation of the character, and he’s a delight. And Vitaliy Solomin’s Watson is possibly my favorite Watson ever. He’s so done with everything.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - sort of the forgotten middle child of the Star Trek series, but in many ways it’s one of the most ambitious. It was a rival/developed at the same time and somewhat by the same team as Babylon 5, so there are some striking similarities (space station, overarching stories, etc), but while B5 manages the political intrigue better, DS9 does a war better. It’s the darkest of the Star Trek series, investigating the more tarnished edges of the utopia. The characters are more deeply developed and flawed, and I love them all. Andrew Robinson’s portrayal of tailor-with-a-mysterious-past Garak is probably the best character Star Trek ever created in any series.
Hope those of you looking for new things to watch and dig into might find something in this list!

Fantastika Journal, Volume 4, Issue 1, edited by Kerry Dodd, July 2020. Cover art by Sinjin Li, info and free download: fantastikajournal.com.
“Fantastika” – a term appropriated from a range of Slavonic languages by John Clute — embraces the genres of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror, but can also include Alternate History, Gothic, Steampunk, Young Adult Dystopic Fiction, or any other radically imaginative narrative space. The goal of Fantastika Journal and its annual conference is to bring together academics and independent researchers who share an interest in this diverse range of fields with the aim of opening up new dialogues, productive controversies and collaborations. We invite articles examining all mediums and disciplines which concern the Fantastika genres. This special issue is based off the fifth Fantastika conference — After Fantastika — which investigated how definitions of time are negotiated within Fantastika literature, exploring not only the conception of its potential rigidity but also how its prospective malleability offers an avenue through which orthodox systems of thought may be reconfigured. By interrogating the principal attributes of this concept alongside its centrality to human thought, this issue considers how Fantastika may offer an alternate lens through which to examine the past, present, and future of time itself.

SUEDE: Brett Anderson’s band and its two-headed monster
Interview with Brett, Mat and Simon by Michael Sailer. WOM-Journal (WOM = World of Music), June 1999. Cover source: SuedeHeadlines.
Full original text in German under the cut.
Source: (part one) (part two) (part three)
DAS ZWEIKÖPFIGE MONSTER
Einst verkörperten sie den Begriff »Hype« und machten britische Popmusik wieder chartsfähig, dann wurden sie vorschnell abgeschrieben und erlebten ein triumphales Comeback. Mit ihrem vierten Album »Head Music« beweisen SUEDE, daß sie auch nach acht Jahren noch für Überraschungen und neue Entdeckungen gut sind.
Brett Anderson sieht besonders süß aus, wenn er verwirrt ist. Gerade habe ich ihn gefragt, was eigentlich mit seinen Haaren passiert ist, nun sitzt er da und ist verwirrt, während neben ihm Bassist Mat Osman hysterisch lachend über das Sofa kugelt.
"Das nennt man sich die Haare schneiden lassen", sagt Brett vorsichtig, nach einem sorgenvollen Blick auf Mats Zustand. "Was ist falsch daran? Bloß weil sie kurz sind?" Ich erkläre ihm, daß ich früher immer den Eindruck hatte, er verstecke sich hinter einem Vorhang von Haaren. "Wow", jetzt ist der Sänger aber erleichtert, "daran habe ich wohl nicht gedacht. Aber du kennst das Motto: Punk rocker's song and hair is short!"
Suede mit Punk zu assoziieren, fiele so schnell niemandem ein, der die Band ein bißchen kennt.
Brett Anderson, Mat Osman und Drummer Simon Gilbert, nach Bernard Butlers spektakulärem Ausstieg 1994 um den jugendlichen Gitarristen Richard Oakes und inzwischen auch noch um Simons Cousin Neil Codling an den Keyboards erweitert, stehen eigentlich eher für das Gegenteil: Stil, Eleganz, Romantik, Melancholie, sexuelle Zweideutigkeit und jede Menge Glamour. 1992 brachen sie mit dieser unzeitgemäßen Mischung über Großbritannien herein wie ein Wirbelsturm in Samt und Seide. "Best New Band in Britain!" trompetete der MELODY MAKER, noch ehe das erste Album erschienen war, und Q assistierte: "die außergewöhnlichste, intelligenteste und talentierteste Gitarrenband, die dieses Land seit zehn Jahren gesehen hat" - seit den Smiths, hieß das.
Der Hype war ohne große Zweifel berechtigt, in den Zeiten ehrlichen Rock-Handwerks in Holzfällerhemd und Bußgewand fiel er jedoch auf unfruchtbaren Boden.
"Ich glaube, anfangs hat man uns gerne falsch interpretiert", untertreibt Brett. "Das war oft frustrierend, wenn der Stil der Musik und der Stil der Band falsch verstanden wurde, als schwul oder so. Aber bevor wir jemanden überzeugt hatten, war es natürlich leicht, uns als diese oder jene Band abzutun und sich gar nicht erst darauf einzulassen. Aber jetzt sind wir beim vierten Album, und die Leute haben einigermaßen eine Vorstellung, was wir sind. Im Popgeschäft ist das nun mal so, du mußt dich selbst in einen Cartoon verwandeln, eine zweidimensionale Art von Existenz."
Daß es überhaupt so weit kommen konnte, hing mehr als einmal an einem seidenen Faden: Suedes Ende schien für viele gekommen, als Bernard Butler 1994 kurz nach Fertigstellung des zweiten Albums 'Dog Man Star' seine Zelte im Suede-Lager abbrach.
Sein Nachfolger, der damals gerade 17jährige Richard Oakes, rang manchen Journalisten anfangs nur ein müdes Lächeln ab - bis sie ihn spielen hörten. Denn Richard, das war auf dem dritten Album 'Coming Up' zu hören, hatte nicht nur alle Butler-Songs genauestens studiert, sondern begann auf dieser Basis umgehend mit einem eigenen Songausstoß, der den seines Vorgängers bald an Quantität und Qualität übertraf. 'Coming Up' wurde zum triumphalen Nr.-1-Comeback und warf fünf Hitsingles ab, deren B-Seiten auch noch den Löwenanteil der B-Seiten-Kollektion 'Sci-Fi Lullabies' bildeten.
'Head Music' ist ein weiterer Schritt vorwärts. Nicht wenige Fans harrten dem vierten Album mit Sorge, nachdem im Vorfeld das Gerücht laut geworden war, Suede hätten die Gitarren zu Hause gelassen und eine reine Elektronik-Platte produziert. Tatsächlich finden sich in den 13 Songs jede Menge von "diesen Dingern, du weißt schon ... nicht Loops, sondern ... hm, Samples, genau" (Simon Gilbert). Aber im Mittelpunkt stehen nach wie vor die Songs selbst, und die sind von gewohnter Qualität: mal pathetisch groß und melancholisch, mal funkensprühend elektrisch.
"'Head Music' ist das erste Album, von dem ich eine Art klangliche Gesamtvorstellung hatte," bringt Brett die Entwicklung auf den Punkt. "Die anderen Alben sind einfach so entstanden, wir schrieben die Songs und nahmen sie auf, ohne uns viele Gedanken darüber zu machen, wie das Ganze klingen sollte. Diesmal haben wir uns mehr für den Klang interessiert. Wenn man sieben Jahre lang Platten aufnimmt, muß man seine Arbeitsweise irgendwann einfach ein bißchen ändern."
SUEDE über Elefantenmenschen, Amerika und 24 Stunden Masturbation
Die Art, wie ihr Songs schreibt und aufnehmt, hat sich verändert.
Simon: Ja, der neue Produzent hat eine ganze Menge für den Sound getan und neue Sachen hinzugefügt, zum Beispiel diese ... wie nennt man das, Sub...?
Mat: Sub-Bässe.
S: Genau, und Loops und so Sachen auf den Rhythmusspuren.
In euren Texten kommt auch diesmal wieder sehr oft das Wort »Teenage« vor. Sind Suede eine Teenage-Band, auch jetzt, wo...
S (lacht): Wir wären gerne eine! Aber leider schlägt die Realität zu.
M: Ja, aber wir benehmen uns immer noch wie Teenager. Schließlich haben wir dank unserem Job die Gelegenheit, Teenager zu sein, für den Rest unseres Lebens.
Brett: Suede ist so eine Art zweiköpfiges Monster. Es gibt die schnellen, direkten Sachen, die dieses Teenage-Feeling haben, und dann gibt es die ältere, melancholische Seite. Ich glaube, mit dem Älterwerden werde ich anfangen, mehr lange, traurige Songs zu schreiben. Ich entwickle mich mit der Musik, weil sie ein Teil meines Lebens ist. Es ist nicht so, als könnte ich morgen auf Installateur umschulen. Ich mache das, weil ich es eben mache, und weil ich es glaube ich ganz gut mache, werde ich wohl auch mit 60 noch Songs schreiben und Musik machen.
Seit dem Anfang umgibt Suede eine spezielle Art von Atmosphäre...
M: Oh, ja, tut mir leid ... (lacht) Daß mir das passieren konnte!
Hm, vielleicht fällt mir ein besseres Wort ein...
S (lacht): Nein, nein, ist schon okay!
Ich meine eine spezielle Aura, eine Ausstrahlung, die jedes neue Mitglied sofort übernimmt.
M: Es ist wahrscheinlich genau anders rum. Wir sagen den Leuten, die neu dazukommen, nicht, wie sie sich benehmen müssen.
B: Wir sind eine bestimmte Art von Menschen und Musikern, deshalb ziehen wir Leute an, die so sind.
Brett, bist du neben einer Schnellstraße aufgewachsen, weil in deinen Texten soviel »diesel and gasoline« vorkommt?
B: Ich bin in einer Satellitenstadt großgeworden, und da fährst du die ganze Zeit irgendwohin. Verbringst viel Zeit in Autos, starrst Lichtsignale an, so Zeug.
Wenn deine Kindheit verfilmt würde, was wäre der Titel?
B: Brett, the early years.
Vielleicht frage ich besser Mat...
B: Nein, ernsthaft! Ein Film über Mats Jugend... kennst du diesen Andy-Warhol-Film, wo du 24 Stunden lang nur das Empire State Building anstarrst und nichts passiert? Das wäre ein verdammter Spaziergang im Park gegen Mats Film über die frühen Jahre. Langweilig, echt langweilig!
M: Ich haßte es, jung zu sein.
S: Ganz bestimmt würde kein Mensch sieben Pfund bezahlen, um das im Kino zu sehen.
Es wäre wahrscheinlich teurer, wenn der Film 24 Stunden dauert. 24 Stunden, in denen Mat nur in seinem Zimmer sitzt...
B: Man würde sehen, wie er 24 Stunden lang masturbiert.
M: Zu so einer Art New-Romantic-Soundtrack. Es wäre entsetzlich.
War das die Musik, die du damals gehört hast? Spandau Ballet und so was?
M: Nein, ich dachte nur an die Musik, die damals so lief, im Radio.
B: Du warst doch ein Gruftie, oder?
M: Ich hatte eine Auswahl von Stilrichtungen ... (Brett lacht hysterisch)
Brett, kannst du mir »The Elephant Man« erklären, ich hab den Text nicht ganz verstanden.
B: Neil hat den Text geschrieben, der erste auf einem Suede-Album, der nicht von mir ist.
Er sieht aber bestimmt nicht aus wie ein Elefantenmensch.
B: Nein, es hat mit einer Unsicherheit zu tun, die jeder hat. Neil ist ein seltsamer Typ, er ist oft unsicher wegen seinem Aussehen, obwohl er ein sehr hübscher Kerl ist. Das kennt jeder, daß man manchmal denkt: Oh Gott, ich sehe scheiße aus, ich fühle mich scheiße, ich bin scheiße.
Das ist noch mehr so, wenn du wirklich gut aussiehst, glaube ich. Leute, die aussehen wie 200 Jahre Hamburger-Mißbrauch, haben das Problem nicht so oft.
B: Na ja, ich sehe nun nicht gerade aus wie 200 Jahre...
M (lacht): Hamburger-Mißbrauch! Wie mißbraucht man eigentlich einen Hamburger?
B: Ich denke, jeder macht Phasen durch, wo er sich fühlt wie ein Elefantenmensch, auch Naomi Campbell. Sie denkt wahrscheinlich, sie sieht aus wie die Elefantenfrau.
Oh, cool, das werde ich schreiben: Brett findet, Naomi Campbell sieht aus wie eine Elefantenkuh.
B: Nein, das hab ich nicht gesagt! Das ist ein falsches Zitat!
Wovon handelt »Crack In The Union Jack«?
B: Vom Stand der Dinge in Großbritannien. Es ist sehr negativ, kein Licht-am-Ende-des-Tunnels-Song. Es hat auch mit Nationalismus zu tun, diesem blöden Chauvinismus heutzutage, deshalb die Anspielung auf den Union Jack. Die Wahrheit, die sich hinter der chauvinistischen Fassade verbirgt, darum ging es mir, die sinnlosen Einbahnstraßenexistenzen hinter den nationalen Bildern und Slogans.
Gibt es auch diesmal wieder B-Seiten, die besser sind als die Songs auf dem Album?
M: Hoffentlich nicht. Ich hoffe, wir haben das diesmal richtig hingekriegt.
Werden die bodenständigen Farmer in Amerika euch diesmal verstehen?
M: Vielleicht. Es sind Sachen drauf, die ziemlich universell sind. Wenn nicht, müssen wir eben damit fertigwerden.
Ich frage mich schon lange, warum die Amerikaner die beste Popmusik meistens nicht verstehen.
B: Weil sie die meisten Sachen 15 Jahre später sowieso imitieren ...
S: ...Green Day statt den Sex Pistols, Marylin Manson statt Marc Bolan...
M: Es hat wohl auch mit Faulheit zu tun. Um dort drüben Erfolg zu haben, mußt du eine bestimmte Art von Band sein, eine bestimmte Art ich weiß nicht was. Vor 20 Jahren wäre das vielleicht anders gewesen, aber heute ist es zu viel verdammte, harte Arbeit. Immer mal wieder fragt uns die amerikanische Plattenfirma: Wieso kommt ihr nicht für sechs Monate rüber, um hier zu spielen und zu leben? Ich will das einfach nicht tun.
B: Wir könnten Kampagnen unternehmen, um die Platte durchzusetzen, aber das ist wie wenn du in eine Art Krieg ziehst. Wenn zufällig eine Single die richtige Ader trifft und einschlägt, dann könnte was passieren, aber wir werden nicht versuchen, das zu pushen. Das ist irgendwie sinnlos. Wir haben das schon mal probiert, und es war nichts.
Was ist übrigens mit deinen Haaren passiert?
M (lacht hysterisch)
B: Das nennt man sich die Haare schneiden lassen.
M: Was zum Teufel ist bloß mit deiner Augenbraue passiert?
B: Was ist falsch mit meinen Haaren? Bloß weil sie kurz sind?
Ich hatte immer den Eindruck, du würdest dich hinter deinen Haaren verstecken...
B: Wow! Daran habe ich wohl nicht gedacht. Aber du kennst das Motto: Punk rocker's song and hair is short!

The owners of this Bondi terrace have lived in Sydney over a decade, but wanted the design of their home to reflect their Melbourne origins.
Full Of Grace Interiors was tasked with updating the home aesthetically, while also reconfiguring the ground floor to better utilise available space.
‘The original ground floor comprised numerous dead spaces, so the layout was reconfigured to introduce both informal and formal living and dining areas, with the addition of a rumpus room, a new bathroom, laundry, and guest bedroom,’ explains Therese Carrodus, interior designer and owner of Full Of Grace Interiors.
The interiors draw on Melbourne design sensibilities both in their look and feel, allowing the clients to recreate cosy dinners previously spent in Melbourne, around an open fire. The dining room with its original Victorian fireplace captures this intent with its sumptuous built-in banquette seating, black timber detailing, fluted glass and subdued blue palette reminiscent of a Melbourne restaurant aesthetic.
Other spaces are light-filled and more relaxed, indicative of the home’s beachside setting. For example, the open-plan kitchen and living area is a refreshingly bright haven introducing natural light from the rear garden, while the bathroom and rumpus room showcases playful yet sophisticated blush hues (Dulux Basic Coral among them). There’s also dramatic moments facilitated in the ice green kitchen marble, and deep red deep-crimson velvet curtains in the guest bedroom.
‘I also wanted to reference the Bondi locale and climate by drawing in the natural light from the sun drenched rear garden and by selecting a palette that is relaxed and unpretentious,’ says Therese. ‘I like that each of the rooms has its own flavour.’
Executing this vision had its challenges, given the narrow site with no side or rear access, but has ultimately resulted in a home the clients adore. Therese describes the completed project as an ‘observation in colour, texture and light’ creating contrasting moods within zoned areas, while reflecting this family’s past and present.

TITLELESS: 16 NBA teams who were robbed of a championship
Peja Stojakovic, Chris Webber, and Mike Bibby were an iconic trio for the Kings.
Enjoy this eclectic mix of NBA What Might Have Beens.
The cover art for our final Titleless division is meant to be taken figuratively, not literally. Some of these 16 teams were unjustly “robbed” of their chance to win a championship. Others were thwarted by unforeseen circumstances: injuries mostly, but also their own incompetence and other bizarre factors. They were “robbed” in the sense that cosmic forces conspired to destroy their title dreams or cut short potential dynasties.
Enjoy this eclectic mix of NBA What Might Have Beens.
16. 1996-97 Detroit Pistons
ERA: Young Grant Hill
RECORD: 54-28
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +5.3
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in first round to Atlanta Hawks (3-2)
KEY STAR(S): Grant Hill
COACH: Doug Collins
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Joe Dumars, Lindsey Hunter, Otis Thorpe, Terry Mills, Theo Ratliff, Aaron McKie, Grant Long, Michael Curry
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: None
With the Bulls struggling late in what proved to be his final season in Chicago, Doug Collins moved Michael Jordan to point guard and refashioned the Bulls’ offense. (Dan Devine of the Ringer has a wonderful summary of how that happened, why it didn’t continue, and how it was the precursor to the point forward movement of today.)
Years later, Collins found a new young star more willing to play along in Detroit, at least initially. He put the ball in Grant Hill’s hands and asked him to run the team as he saw fit. Hill, an often reluctant attacker in the past, thrived in his new role. Collins surrounded Hill with shooters and role-players, opened the floor for Hill to attack, and watched him emerge as a potential new face of the NBA. Detroit got off to a fast start and won 54 games before losing in a tight five-game series to a terrific Hawks team.
Alas, the run was short-lived because Collins’ grating got on Hill’s nerves the same way it got on Jordan’s. The Pistons fell apart the next season, and depending on who you believe, Hill either asked Collins to be fired or declined to endorse him. Two years later, Hill suffered the ankle injury that would forever change his NBA destiny.
15. 1990-91 Golden State Warriors
ERA: Run T-M-C
RECORD: 44-38
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +1.6
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in second round to Los Angeles Lakers (4-1)
KEY STAR(S): Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin
COACH: Don Nelson
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Mitch Richmond, Sarunas Marciulionis, Mario Elie, Rod Higgins, Alton Lister, Tom Tolbert, Tyrone Hill, Jim Petersen
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: 1991-92
Meet Run TMC, one of the NBA’s all-time cult favorites. With Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin forming a high-scoring trio, the Warriors upset the second-seeded Spurs in four games, using a funky strategy that involved stationing their center as far away as possible so David Robinson couldn’t provide help on their scoring studs. (Remember, this was the illegal defense era.)
They fell to the mighty Lakers in five, but not before stunning them in Game 2 behind a torrid Mullin and nearly winning Game 4 at home.
Unfortunately, Run TMC was short-lived. The Warriors inexplicably traded Richmond to Sacramento for rookie forward Billy Owens, the No. 3 pick in the 1991 draft. Golden State actually won 55 games the next year, but were smashed by the underdog Sonics in the first round. The next few years were kinda bizarre, but let’s just say they did not go as planned.
14. 2000-01 Milwaukee Bucks
ERA: “Big 3” Bucks
RECORD: 52-30
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +3.8
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in East Finals to Philadelphia 76ers (4-3)
KEY STAR(S): Ray Allen
COACH: George Karl
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Glenn Robinson, Sam Cassell, Lindsey Hunter, Ervin Johnson, Tim Thomas, Jason Caffey, Scott Williams, Darvin Ham
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: None
The “Big 3” Bucks of Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and Glenn Robinson were an annual tease except for one memorable 2001 playoff run. The Bucks finished with the second seed in the dilapidated East and nearly knocked off Allen Iverson’s 76ers in the conference finals. That series featured some, ahem, curious refereeing decisions, including a potential missed goaltend on Allen’s game-winning tip attempt in Game 5 and a surprising league call to upgrade a common Scott Williams Game 6 foul to a flagrant, thereby forcing him to miss Game 7. Allen essentially said the series was fixed without officially saying it.
Soon, the Bucks went back to being perennial teases. Milwaukee swung a big sign-and-trade for Anthony Mason that summer, thinking an upgrade up front was the missing piece. Instead, Mason threw off their chemistry and they missed the playoffs entirely in 2002 after a late-season collapse.
13. 2017-18 Boston Celtics
ERA: Brad Stevens’ Celtics
RECORD: 55-27
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +3.6
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in East Finals to Cleveland Cavaliers (4-3)
KEY STAR(S): Kyrie Irving (injured in playoffs)
COACH: Brad Stevens
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Al Horford, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward (injured all season), Marcus Smart, Aron Baynes, Terry Rozier, Marcus Morris
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: None
Classifying these Celtics was challenging because of all the dominoes involved. Gordon Hayward shattering his leg on opening night undoubtedly set the Celtics back, but Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown may not emerge so quickly otherwise. Kyrie Irving’s late-season knee injury killed their championship upside … or did it, based on the evidence of 2019’s dysfunctional season and 2020’s good vibes with Kemba Walker in Irving’s place? What’s the point of comparing 2020’s Celtics with the 2018 version, since Al Horford’s not walking through that door? And how can we possibly quantify the degree to which Tatum’s 2020 superstar emergence relates to the flashes he showed in the 2018 playoffs?
I dunno, man. Let’s just put them here.
12. 2008-09 Portland Trail Blazers
ERA: Roy-Oden
RECORD: 54-28
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +5.3
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in first round to Houston Rockets (4-2)
KEY STAR(S): Brandon Roy
COACH: Nate McMillan
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden, Nicolas Batum, Travis Outlaw, Steve Blake, Rudy Fernandez, Joel Przybilla, Sergio Rodriguez, Jerryd Bayless, Channing Frye
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: None
What might have been if Greg Oden only stayed healthy? Would the trio of Oden, Brandon Roy, and LaMarcus Aldridge really have dominated the league for years to come?
We’ll never know, but the 2008-09 Blazers are the closest we’ll ever get to an answer. After missing his entire rookie season, Oden stayed relatively healthy and showed dominating flashes in 21 minutes per game behind reliable Joel Przybilla. With Roy emerging as a superstar in his third season and Aldridge becoming a burgeoning sidekick in his second, Portland won 54 regular-season games and looked to be ahead of schedule.
Portland’s run ended that year with a disappointing first-round loss to the Yao Ming-led, Tracy McGrady-less Rockets, who stole Game 1 on the Blazers’ home court and beat them in six. Oden reinjured his knee in December of the following season and played just 23 pro games thereafter.
11. 2018-19 Philadelphia 76ers
ERA: Post-Process
RECORD: 51-31
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +6
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in second round to Toronto Raptors (4-3)
KEY STAR(S): Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Jimmy Butler
COACH: Brett Brown
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Tobias Harris, J.J. Redick, Wilson Chandler, Mike Scott, T.J. McConnell, Greg Monroe, James Ennis
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: 2017-18
The post-Process 76ers era is far from over, but maybe 2019 will end up being their best shot to advance deep in the playoffs. What happens if one of the 700 bounces on Kawhi Leonard’s buzzer-beating, series-ending game-winner goes in a different direction?
Do they beat Milwaukee, a team with whom they matched up well? Does Jimmy Butler stay instead of leaving for Miami and throwing thinly veiled shots at Brett Brown’s coaching? Does that mean the 76ers don’t make the mistake of signing Al Horford in the ensuing offseason? We have nothing but time to play the what-if game.
10. 1988-89 Cleveland Cavaliers
ERA: The team Jordan always beat
RECORD: 57-25
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +7.6
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in first round to Chicago Bulls (3-2)
KEY STAR(S): Brad Daugherty, Mark Price
COACH: Lenny Wilkins
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Ron Harper, Larry Nance, Craig Ehlo, Hot Rod Williams, Mike Sanders, Darnell Valentine
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: 1991-92, 1992-93
Before the Cavaliers became the franchise Michael Jordan tormented, they were a burgeoning young powerhouse propped up by the league itself. Ever heard of the Ted Stepien rule? It’s named after the despicable former Cavaliers owner who, among many other worse things, kept trading first-round picks for nobodies in the early 80s. The NBA eventually blocked him from trading first-rounders, but when that didn’t help, they forced Stepien out, even awarding Cleveland compensatory first-rounders to prop up the franchise’s value to potential buyers. They eventually found one in Gordon Gund, who restored normalcy to the franchise.
With the first rounders Stepien surely wanted to give up, Cleveland drafted key pieces like Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, Ron Harper, and (via a draft-day trade) Mark Price. A fifth future stud, Kevin Johnson, was traded for veteran Larry Nance. That young core stunned the league in 1989, finishing with the NBA’s second-best record behind Detroit. Because they were in the same division as the Pistons, though, they got the East No. 3 seed and a matchup with Michael Jordan’s Bulls. The rest is history.
Cleveland traded Harper just seven games into the next season for the rights to Danny Ferry, the No. 2 overall pick in the 1989 draft that refused to show for the Clippers. Ferry never lived up to the hype, and Cleveland was never quite the same.
9. 1987-88 Dallas Mavericks
ERA: Post-expansion Mavs
RECORD: 53-29
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +4.4
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in West Finals to Los Angeles Lakers (4-3)
KEY STAR(S): Mark Aguirre
COACH: John MacLeod
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper, Sam Perkins, Roy Tarpley, James Donaldson, Brad Davis, Detlef Schrempf
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: 1986-87
Even by this section’s standards, the rise and fall of the 1980s Dallas Mavericks was bizarre. The diverse cast of characters included outspoken owner Donald Carter, general manager Norm Sanju (who endorsed a Process-like rebuild before it was fashionable), talented but drug-troubled center Roy Tarpley, and the nice-but-not-superstar young core that included Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper, and Sam Perkins. But the two most notable ones were superstar Mark Aguirre and longtime coach Dick Motta.
Take the criticism Carmelo Anthony received during his career, amp it up a few exponents, and you get Aguirre. An undersized forward with remarkable scoring skills and an equally remarkable ability to leave you wanting more, Aguirre eventually wore out his welcome the year after Dallas finished one game short of the Finals. “Today should be an all-day party because he’s gone,” said Perkins on the day Dallas traded Aguirre to Detroit. Ouch!
(Related tangent: Aguirre has not had his jersey retired by the team. He was supposed to speak at Derek Harper’s ceremony in 2018, but no-showed. Fast-forward to this year, when now-owner Mark Cuban honored the late Kobe Bryant by declaring that no Maverick would ever wear No. 8 or No. 24 again. Aguirre’s number? Twenty-four.)
Calling the Aguirre-Motta relationship “combustible” is kind. For some reason, Motta decided the best way to reach Aguirre was to ride him constantly. “I’ve said things to him that I wouldn’t say to my dog,” Motta said during the 1982-83 season. (Motta later said the quote was taken out of context, supplying this odd defense: “I did cuss my dog out last night. I’d like to go on record saying that. He wet the floor … I’ve never kicked my dog once, and I’ve never had a player die on the floor from overwork or abuse. And my dog still likes me.” OK!)
Somehow, the two co-existed until 1987, when the 55-win Mavs were upset in the first round by the Sonics. Driven by his volcanic relationship with Aguirre, Motta abruptly quit after that season.
Aguirre initially welcomed veteran replacement coach John MacLeod and turned in his best season in leading Dallas to the West Finals, but after a few postseason benchings and a strange summer, he asked to be traded early in the following season.
Dallas fell apart thereafter and slowly turned into a joke of a franchise before Cuban purchased the team in 1999.
8. 2007-08 Houston Rockets
ERA: Yao and T-Mac
RECORD: 55-27
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +4.7
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in first round to Utah Jazz (4-2)
KEY STAR(S): Yao Ming (injured for playoffs), Tracy McGrady
COACH: Rick Adelman
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Shane Battier, Rafer Alston, Luis Scola, Bonzi Wells, Chuck Hayes, Luther Head, Carl Landry, Dikembe Mutombo
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: 2006-07, 2008-09
Talk about duos destined for star-crossed careers: Meet Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady! This remarkable guard-big star tandem missed a combined 179 games from 2004-2009, which is more than two full seasons! Their best shot to go deep in the playoffs together was in 2007, when they lost Game 7 on their home floor to the Jazz.
The 2007-08 team, fueled by a remarkable 22-game winning streak, was the best of the bunch. Twelve of those wins came before Yao suffered yet another stress fracture in his foot, which kept him out for the rest of the season. Houston won 10 more in a row with aging Dikembe Mutombo in Yao’s place, but were running on fumes. In the end, McGrady alone didn’t have enough to avenge the team’s 2007 playoff defeat to the Jazz.
7. 1985-86 Houston Rockets
ERA: Twin Towers
RECORD: 51-31
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +2.6
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in NBA Finals to Boston Celtics (4-2)
KEY STAR(S): (H)akeem Olajuwon
COACH: Bill Fitch
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Ralph Sampson, Rodney McCray, John Lucas, Lewis Lloyd, Robert Reid, Jim Petersen, Allen Leavell, Mitchell Wiggins
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: None
But for a fleeting moment in the 1986 playoffs, the Twin Towers Rockets were more a theoretical dream than a coherent basketball team. Whoever picked “The Greatest Team That Never Was” for Grantland’s giant oral history of the 80s Rockets deserves a raise, because that was always their destiny.
Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon were never going to be a seamless on-court fit. The laid-back Sampson and drill sergeant coach Bill Fitch were never going to see eye to eye. Fitch’s hope that point guard John Lucas would stay sober was never going to pay off. Lewis Lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins were always threats to be the ones that’d get the book thrown at them to crack down on its players’ drug use. Sampson was never going to be the same physically after his scary fall late in the 1987 season.
But it’s fun to dream, isn’t it?
6. 2003-04 Indiana Pacers
ERA: Pre-Malice at the Palace
RECORD: 61-21
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +5.8
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in East Finals to Detroit Pistons (4-2)
KEY STAR(S): Jermaine O’Neal
COACH: Rick Carlisle
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Ron Artest, Reggie Miller, Al Harrington, Jamaal Tinsley, Jeff Foster, Anthony Johnson, Austin Croshere, Fred Jones
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: None
5. 2010-11 Chicago Bulls
ERA: Rose and Thibs
RECORD: 62-20
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +7.3
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in East Finals to Miami Heat (4-1)
KEY STAR(S): Derrick Rose
COACH: Tom Thibodeau
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson, Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver, Keith Bogans, C.J. Watson, Omer Asik, Kurt Thomas
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: 2011-12
Had I known Derrick Rose’s career would be forever altered by one knee injury, I’d have spent much more time appreciating his 2011 MVP season instead of grumbling that the award should’ve gone to Dwight Howard or LeBron James. Rose might have been a tad overrated statistically, but he was an incredible thrill to watch and an inspiring foil to the hated Heatles. Looking back on it, I should have appreciated how Rose’s production and the Bulls’ combination of defense and depth complemented each other, rather than use those forces to argue against Rose’s MVP case. Live and learn.
These Bulls fell short because a pissed-off James put Rose in a straight-jacket in crunch time of Miami’s five-game East Finals victory. With nobody else there to help him score, Rose was powerless to stop the Heat.
4. 2004-05 Phoenix Suns
ERA: 7 Seconds Or Less
RECORD: 62-20
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +7.1
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in West Finals to San Antonio Spurs (4-1)
KEY STAR(S): Steve Nash, Amar’e Stoudemire
COACH: Brian Hill
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Shawn Marion, Joe Johnson (injured in WCF), Quentin Richardson, Jim Jackson, Leandro Barbosa
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: 2005-06, 2006-07, 2009-10
Picking the best Suns team of the Steve Nash era was difficult. The 2010 team was a delightful surprise, the 2006 team inspired one of the best basketball books of the millennium, and the 2007 team got hosed most obviously. But the original 2004-05 version is still — Hot take alert! — the most thrilling and revolutionary basketball experience the league has seen since … ever? Let’s go with ever.
It’s easy to forget how many skeptics the Suns had while zipping through the league that season. They ran, ran, and ran some more instead of positioning themselves into set plays the coach diagrams. (I loved this Mike D’Antoni quote from a 2005 SI story: “I don’t know how you script against something when the offensive team isn’t even sure what it’s doing.”) They took threes in transition when nobody else did. They played “small” by moving Shawn Marion to power forward and Amar’e Stoudemire to center. They built their entire team around the spread pick-and-roll. They were the first to do so many things we take for granted today. But despite winning more games than anyone in the league, they were never seen as favorites and were often derided for promoting a style that wouldn’t hold up in the playoffs.
Those skeptics got the last laugh, but with mitigating circumstances. Everything changed when Joe Johnson fell face first on the floor after Jerry Stackhouse fouled him on a fast break in Game 2 of the Suns’ second-round series with Dallas.
Johnson missed the rest of the series and the beginning of the conference finals against the Spurs with a fractured orbital, only returning as a shell of himself after San Antonio took a 2-0 lead in the series. By then, it was far too late.
Why was this a bigger what-if than the controversial suspensions that doomed the Suns’ 2008 season? Well, Suns players say so:
”We should’ve won it all that year,” Marion said. “If it wasn’t for that (Johnson’s injury), I think we would have.”
The controversial suspensions to Stoudemire and Boris Diaw during the 2007 conference semifinals are the most cited bad breaks of that Suns era, but the Suns think Johnson’s bad break was worse, especially to lose his defensive option on Tony Parker.
”There’s no way you can tell me we wouldn’t have been NBA champions if I hadn’t got hurt,” Johnson said.
And I believe them. Before Johnson became known as ISO-Joe in Atlanta, he was the glue that held the Suns’ fragile ecosystem together. He shot 48 percent from three that season on four-and-a-half attempts per game. His non-stop running kept Phoenix’s transition attack going. He defended the toughest guards that Nash couldn’t. If the Suns’ main attack broke down, he provided the supplementary playmaking. We all love Boris Diaw’s game, but he was never as important as Johnson was to the Suns.
About that. Annoyed by Johnson’s salary demands, the Suns dealt him to Atlanta that summer and got Diaw back in the sign-and-trade. It wasn’t quite the James Harden trade, but it had a similar effect. Phoenix stayed in the mix for the rest of the decade, but in hindsight, the summer departure of Johnson, combined with Stoudemire’s microfracture surgery, doomed their title hopes forever.
3. 1994-95 Orlando Magic
ERA: Penny and Shaq
RECORD: 57-25
POINT DIFFERENTIAL: +7.1
PLAYOFF RESULT: Lost in NBA Finals to Houston Rockets (4-0)
KEY STAR(S): Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway
COACH: Brian Hill
OTHER KEY PLAYERS: Horace Grant, Nick Anderson, Dennis Scott, Donald Royal, Brian Shaw, Anthony Bowie
OTHER SEASONS CONSIDERED FROM THIS ERA: 1995-96
You already know about Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway, the 1995 win over the Bulls, the four missed Nick Anderson free throws, and the unceremonious end to the Shaq era the next summer. If not, watch the 30 for 30.
So let’s talk about the move that turned the young Magic into serious title contenders: the 1994 free-agent signing of Horace Grant. Cue Michael Buffer, because … let’s get ready to lawsuuuuiiiiitttttt!
In the summer of 1994, Grant, the critical third piece of the first Chicago Bulls three-peat, was a free agent. Tired of doing the dirty work without receiving enough credit, Grant wanted to leave and yearned to join up with Hardaway and O’Neal in Orlando. There was just one problem: Orlando didn’t have any salary-cap space to sign him. Kinda an issue.
But Grant and the Magic designed a clever, mutually beneficial way around this dilemma. First, Orlando traded point guard Scott Skiles and a first-round pick to Washington to open up Skiles’ $2.1 million salary slot. Then, they signed Grant to a six-year, $22 million deal that included a first-year salary of just over $2 million (fancy that!) and an opt-out provision after the first year. Left unspoken: Orlando would invite Grant to exercise that option and give him a much bigger contract thereafter. Convenient and successful. Everyone got what they wanted and nobody got hurt.
Unfortunately for the Magic, salary-cap circumvention was a growing concern for the NBA. The league tried to prevent the Blazers from doing a similar move with Chris Dudley the previous summer, but lost in court. Buoyed by the ruling, other contenders, most notably the Phoenix Suns, inked quality veterans for below-market contracts that were either for one year or contained opt-out clauses like Grant’s. (This is how Phoenix got perennial all-star Danny Manning to sign a one-year, $1 million deal.) Using evidence of a reported five-year, $20 million offer from the Bulls as proof that Grant signed below his market value in Orlando, the NBA voided Grant’s deal, along with two other giant new contracts for Toni Kukoc and A.C. Green signed one summer after agreeing to miniscule short-term deals from the Bulls and Suns the previous summer.
The Magic sued the league, and the case went before the same judge that ruled in the Blazers’ favor for Dudley. This time, the judge sided in favor of the NBA, making Grant a free agent again just weeks before training camp. (He did not do the same for Kukoc and Green because it would violate the precedent set in the Dudley case. Oddly, the Manning deal was allowed to slip through, as was a similar Magic one-year deal to bring veteran point guard Brian Shaw in to spell Hardaway.) The league said they’d allow Grant to sign with Orlando if the opt-out clause was after the second year instead. Two weeks later, the Magic and Grant agreed. That’s how close Orlando’s “missing piece” signing came to falling apart.
The epilogue to this story shouldn’t surprise you. Though O’Neal left Orlando after the 1996 season, the Magic still gave the 31-year-old Grant a new five-year, $50 million deal, even though he was coming off a devastating elbow injury. After all of that, they still successfully circumvented the salary cap. Glad the lawyers got paid, though. (Shaw, by the way, got a one-year, $9 million deal after the 1995 season, while Manning inked a six-year, $40 million deal with Phoenix despite tearing his ACL. These teams were not subtle!)

We’re still waiting for the tell-all book or documentary that explains once and for all why the Thunder traded James Harden to the Rockets. We have many theories and circumstantial explanations, but no absolute truth. All I know is that these words from Andrew Sharp, published on our website on Oct. 28, 2012, were prophetic.
“So if you want to say the Thunder chose long-term flexibility over a short term shot at a title, that’s fine. Just don’t overlook the second part of that sentence. If basketball is a business, there’s a good chance this was a bad business decision. Because what happens if KD and co. aren’t good enough to win it all in the next few years? Doesn’t OKC end up spending to compete with the best, and eventually paying the luxury tax because of somebody else? And it may not work. There are no guarantees at finding a core that clicks on the court the way last year’s did.”
Every word of that paragraph came true, including the prediction that OKC would end up going over the luxury tax for a worse player than Harden. What might have been, indeed.

We remember.
16 years ago, my church held an impromptu service in the wake of 9/11. There was only a preliminary list of the people killed. Everybody drew little sheets of paper with a name on it from a basket, and during the prayer we each read the name we held aloud at the same time. The name I got was Stephen Dimino. I make a point to say his name out loud several times a day every 9/11.
I put a list of their names under the cut. You will be scrolling for a long time. I encourage everyone to pick out a name, write it down and say it in whatever form you communicate best be it AAC, sign language, or even keeping a photo of that person with their name if you can find a photo of them.
Some say a person’s memory stays alive as long as their name is still read or spoken. I can’t bring back the people who died that awful day, but I can use this platform to put their names out there so their memory stays alive.

New story in Politics from Time: Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings Weren’t Always Such a Spectacle. There’s a Reason That Changed
After a tense start on Tuesday to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Utah Senator Mike Lee used his introductory remarks to offer a history lesson: As he explained, the inquisition to which nominees are now subjected is a result of a process that has evolved over many decades.
There’s nothing in the Constitution that says nominees must testify at their hearings, or that hearings have to take place at all. The Senate could just vote. But, these days, they don’t — and there are several important reasons why.
The only thing the Constitution is clear about is that the public shouldn’t have the final vote on these nominees. For the “people at large” to hold the “power of appointment” would be “impracticable,” Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist Paper #76. So, Article II Section II of Constitution says the President “shall nominate” the justices, “by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.” At the time, state legislatures chose U.S. Senators, so the selection process was even further removed from the passions of the people. But for a long time, that “advice and consent” took place largely without any grilling of nominees.
“If you were uncontroversial, you didn’t get a hearing,” says Paul M. Collins, Jr., co-author of Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings and Constitutional Change. “Hearings were held behind closed doors and only outside witnesses would testify.”
According to research by Collins and law professor Lori Ringhand, the first hearing of a nominee took place in 1873 and forced President Ulysses S. Grant to withdraw a nominee, Attorney General George H. Williams, over a probe into his use of Department of Justice funds for household expenses. The first hearing that was open to the public took place in 1916 over President Woodrow Wilson’s nominee Louis Brandeis, prompted both by anti-Semitism and Brandeis’ reputation as the “People’s Lawyer” for his public-interest work. Brandeis refused to testify, and the committee deliberated for four months before he was confirmed 47-22. There was also a hearing in 1922 over Pierce Butler — who was also confirmed, 61-8, without testifying — over allegations of professional misconduct. In 1925, Harlan Fiske Stone became the first nominee to testify before the Judiciary Committee, which had been established in 1816, and was questioned about his role in the Teapot Dome scandal. That hearing was closed to the public, and the Senate swiftly confirmed him 71-6.
By the mid-’30s, it was still seen as a courtesy to a nominee — often a rather august personage already — to spare him from a hearing. After all, hearings were tied to scandals. Even when a hearing did happen, the nominees did not always appear in person.
The situation began to change after a different kind of scandal reshaped many Americans’ thinking about the process. This time, the confirmation itself was the problem. About a month after the Senate voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, 63-16, after five days of deliberation and no public hearings on the nomination, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette broke the news that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. It was what TIME called “the prize political scandal of the year.” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had nominated Black, claimed this was news to him as well.

When Felix Frankfurter was nominated in 1939, the Senate was trying to avoid another Hugo Black controversy. (As Sen. Lee pointed out on Tuesday, they were also concerned because Frankfurter was born outside the U.S. and had written about the treatment of anarchists in the court system.) The Senate opened up Frankfurter’s hearing to the public, so that Frankfurter would be “scrutinized thoroughly,” in light of “criticism of the Senate’s speedy confirmation” of Black, according to the Jan. 8, 1939, edition of the New York Times.
“Small, well-brushed and jaunty, his pince-nez sparkling in 40 flashlights, he appeared,” TIME noted that week, after the Senate decided to summon him in person. “The audience could not have been bigger or more enthusiastic had he been Shirley Temple. With some acerbity he questioned the propriety of Senators publicly examining a nominee for the nation’s highest court.”
Frankfurter responded fiercely to doubts about his patriotism, and was quickly confirmed. And yet, the idea that public questioning was an insult clearly remained.
Not long after, however, many Americans would realize to a new extent just how much the make-up of the Supreme Court could affect their own lives. At the heart of that realization was one important case: the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case, in which the Supreme Court ruled against school segregation.
When John Marshall Harlan II was being considered for the Supreme Court in 1955, it was already clear that the nation was split over the Court. Concern over who sat on the nation’s highest court and what future justices might rule skyrocketed, especially in the South. “That’s when people really began to notice the Supreme Court playing a larger role in Americans’ lives,” says Justin Wedeking, co-author of Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings in the U.S. Senate: Reconsidering the Charade.
Ever since Harlan, confirmation hearings have been a key part of the process.
In Harlan’s case, as TIME argued, there was an extra layer to that interest: his grandfather had been the sole dissenter in Plessy v. Ferguson, the 1896 case that upheld the constitutionality of “separate but equal” facilities, the logic of which was overturned by Brown. But the Brown decision and its backlash would also play a central role in the confirmation process for Potter Stewart in 1959; “In their frequent irritation at Supreme Court decisions, some Senators cannot resist the temptation to make court appointees squirm,” TIME noted. (Though this predated Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s time on the bench, Stewart evoked the so-called Ginsburg Rule and refused to answer questions that might affect future cases. The Senate confirmed Stewart 70-17.) Race would also play a role, though differently, in the 69-11 confirmation of Thurgood Marshall, who would in 1967 become the court’s first African-American justice. Marshall was peppered with hundreds of questions on arcane facts, to the extent that TIME compared the hearing to a scene that “might have been a Southern county courthouse in the bad old days, with a white registrar administering a literacy test designed to confound even the best-educated Negro.”
As TV news coverage of nominations increased, these fraught hearings rose to a new level of spectacle.
“Congressional inquiries were starting to be nationally televised at this time,” says Barbara Perry, the Director of Presidential Studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs, speaking to TIME as part of a presidential-history partnership between TIME History and the Miller Center. As events such as the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings drew national attention to what could be seen of Washington on television, that interest eventually spread to television — an trend that reached fruition in 1981, when Sandra Day O’Connor’s hearings were broadcast.
“Klieg lights and cameras bring out the senatorial urge to hear the satisfying sound of one’s own voice,” TIME reported back then. “The rambling inquiries directed at O‘Connor often seemed designed less to elucidate her judicial philosophy and qualifications than to give the questioner an opportunity to state one of his own pet political positions.”
That opportunity was one Senators didn’t want to pass up, and the national spotlight raised the stakes for them — and, as a result, changed the tone of the hearings.
“I think most Americans would be shocked to learn that prior to 1981, it was rare to get half of the committee to show up and ask questions,” says Wedeking. “TV gave them a huge incentive to show up. You have almost 100% participation in hearings from O’Connor onward.”
And while the Founders may not have wanted to give the people the power to directly confirm Supreme Court justices, citizens have found ways to influence the nomination selection and confirmation process from the outside. Liberal interest groups played a key role in the rejection of Reagan’s nominee Robert Bork, while setting a precedent for future exchanges over ideology in future hearings; conservative interest groups provided a lists of possible nominees, including Kavanaugh, to President Trump since before he was even elected. Tensions were high back then because Bork would be playing a historic role in the court, filling what had been a swing seat — and Kavanaugh is in the same position today.
In the 21st century, as the polarized political climate is amplified by live cable TV and social media, it’s hard to imagine a time without confirmation hearings, as the Senate’s power to vote on Supreme Court nominees is deemed especially vital. So there’s no question about the Senate’s role in checking presidential power — but lots of questions about how Kavanaugh would rule on cases involving checks on presidential power.
