Two Years After Katrina

You know how print journalism is often compared to a dinosaur taking it’s last gasp? Don’t believe the hype.

FIBA Americas Tournament - USA 112, Venezuela 69

On the late morning of Tuesday, May 22, 1984, two opposing groups of thoroughly superstitious team officials converged on the NBA offices in Manhattan to pray for good fortune, to flip a coin, and to redraw the league’s burgeoning road map for decades to come.
