From 20-point leads to 60-win teams, nothing is guaranteed in today’s NBA. This isn’t parity or a coincidence—it’s something way more unruly.

Some aspects of life may dull us, but then others sharpen us up if we’ll just let them. And then when I think about it all a bit more, I realize that our days are best when we use our inner wisdom to give them a point. Happy Sharpening!
