Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had not seen the Onion headline.

We are talking in the back of a black SUV, parked in front of his offseason home in the Toronto suburbs, when I mention the bit of satire that went viral during the Western Conference Finals in May. I hand him my phone and he laughs.

“Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Trying to Draw Foul While Shooting Free Throw,” reads the headline, which is accompanied by an image of him flailing on the foul line. “Trying to draw a foul at the free-throw line,” he says, “that would be good.”

Stanley Marcus was an awesome human being. My favorite story about him is he was on the board of the Dallas Art Museum and during the red panic, a bunch of conservatives didn't like the modern art in the museum and said it was satanic and communist. He told them no and they weren't taking it down.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.
There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The top shows a field of green and straw colored fields with bits of purple flowers. Below is a a series of checked brown tweed that reflect the colors in the landscape above it.
