Nikola Jokic called swish. On both of them. With barely over a minute remaining in Monday’s gripping double-overtime affair against the Grizzlies, Jokic drained back-to-back buckets that barely grazed the net. The second, a dagger 3-pointer from the top of the arc that gave the Nuggets a 137-134 lead, drew a raucous MVP chant from the Ball Arena crowd. The Nuggets survived a rollicking back-and-forth game against the Grizzlies, hanging on to win, 139-137, to extend their winning streak to three. The Nuggets improved to 37-20 thanks to Jokic’s jaw-dropping effort. He finished with 47 points on 20-of-31 shooting, with 15 rebounds and eight assists. If Jokic was still searching for an MVP moment, Monday might’ve been it. “I thought tonight was a character win,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. After Will Barton’s clutch 3-pointer tied the game at 125 with 12 seconds left in the first overtime, and Michael Porter Jr.’s massive 3-pointer late in the second overtime tied it … [Read more...] about Nikola Jokic drops 47 points, Nuggets survive wild double-overtime thriller against Grizzlies

An Illinois World War II veteran who turned 100 last Thursday got a surprise at his birthday party on Saturday that left him at a loss for words. A group of family friends was throwing Leonard Crofford a birthday party when one of Crofford’s close friends gave him an American flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, WSIL reported . “I wasn’t expecting this; he fooled me. He didn’t tell me he was going to do this,” Crofford laughed. Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL) helped make the surprise a reality. Bost also read Crofford’s name on the House floor on the day the veteran turned 100. “One thing I’ve learned in life is that you don’t throw the word ‘hero’ around lightly,” Bost said . Crofford did not expect this surprise; he only expected he would be spending yet another year with family and friends. Crofford, born in 1921, served in the Navy for two years before joining the Army two years later, serving from 1939 to 1945. He is one of the few living veterans who … [Read more...] about World War II Veteran Surprised with American Flag from U.S. Capitol for 100th Birthday

Bernie Sanders, an independent, is a United States senator from Vermont. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. The United States of America faces several enormous structural crises that we must address. We need to fund infrastructure projects and build affordable housing while transitioning our energy system away from fossil fuels toward energy efficiency and renewable energy. We also need to guarantee health care to Americans as a human right, while also expanding Social Security to ensure that 20% of our senior citizens are no longer forced to survive on an income of less than $14,352 a year. Finally, if we are going to be able to compete in a global economy, we need to have the best educated workforce in the world.
