Thumbs up, Thumbs down

Thumbs up
To NBA Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant, for being such a stud. This guy is so unselfish, not only does he show up at the NBA Draft in New York City to welcome his new teammate, he goes to Florida to scout out teammates in the summer league. Durant even played Tuesday. Embrace this kid with both arms, Oklahoma City.

Thumbs down
To former Seattle SuperSonics owner Howard Schultz, for his self-serving lawsuit to void the sale of his former NBA franchise. Rather than trying to save face, Daddy Starbucks needs to save jobs. Presumably, a business losing 600 shops and 12,000 jobs is far more significant than losing a team you knew would leave without a new facility.
