Not really. 12th place in the East. It's unfortunate, but the new players need to build some chemistry with each other so that they can start winning more in the next few years.

I remember that dunk! Probably his 2nd-best highlight of the entire run. First place goes to his game 7 shot against the 76ers of course!
2019 seems like it was just 1 or 2 years ago. Crazy that it's been almost 5 years.
I loved playing Super Mario World. I played it on a Raspberry Pi emulator. I didn't end up beating the game, but I got the world 6 I think. It was pretty fun.

Yessir!
I can tell you what I'm doing.
I happen to be a homeschooled student myself. My parents didn't want to send me to public school because I most likely wouldn't do well in a classroom setting. That's honestly understandable for a 5-year-old boy. Why would I want to sit in a classroom in a chair at a desk for several hours a day? I "freestyled" homeschooling until 8th grade. Meaning, I followed a curriculum my parents chose for me. As I got older, my parents gave me some more freedom to add topics I was interested in to my curriculum. For example, around grade 5 or 6, I got into programming a lot, and decided to spend a lot of time learning it. Around grade 7 or 8, I was really interested in world history. Spent time on that as well.
Now, I'm in high school. I would still consider myself a homeschooler, because I attend an online asynchronous school -- that offers high school diplomas -- from home. I could have continued freestyling my academic journey, but I decided to try online out. I kinda like it so far.
However, I do know some homeschoolers who decided to freestyle all the way until university, and they got accepted into great programs (this is in Canada, where I live). They used a portfolio as a way to show their academic performances. Stuff like competitions, science fairs, written works, personal projects, etc...
I hope that helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Yeah, as you can tell I'm quite young :)
Thanks for asking. SF was alright, but unfortunately a lot of the streets downtown were filled with homeless people. On the other hand, San Jose was beautiful and I loved it. I'm probably more of a nature guy than a city guy, so to be honest I'd much rather visit Lake Tahoe if I'm in the area.
