Man, I could watch that endlessly. The rhythmic shaking, the scenery outside the window, Klay's distant stare. Everything about it is fantastic. Hope you are healing up DH. I agree a random scratch or ear twitch from Rocco every now and then would be a nice touch for the next one.
Kevin O'Connor (TheRinger) still has the Warriors at 10th in his latest rankings and says what we are all thinking about Steph:
"Steph Curry is an MVP candidate.
There’s no clear favorite for MVP one-third into the season, which is unusual. All the same, why do I never hear Steph’s name being mentioned as a candidate?
Curry is tied for ninth in NBA.com’s latest MVP ladder, and he isn’t even in the top 10 for Basketball-Reference.com’s MVP tracker. Yes, the Warriors are only 12-11, but the Nuggets are 12-10 and that hasn’t stopped anyone from calling Nikola Jokic the favorite. I honestly don’t get it; Curry is posting nearly identical numbers to his unanimous MVP season."

So good, Daniel!
I love Klay Thompson. That is all

Very nicely done, sir. I just realized that my child is 51 days older than Klay. I'd never thought about it before in that way.
Noice. Great art.
(I did find myself hoping that Rocco would sigh or stir just a tiny bit--but Klay still doesn't move at all)
Get well soon Daniel!
Hope is he's on his way to Delores Park with Rocco to play his trumpet in celebration!
Welcome back, Daniel!
Great work... what a mood
On a separate note, anyone with an ESPN+ sub who can summarize what this says?

Well done Daniel! Good to see you back, like that certain beer commercial, "We love you man!" You get well soon!
So good! Nice seeing the gold blood flowing again!
Welcome back!
I wasn't ready for this to be as good as it was. Well done!
Beautiful! I love reliving Klay’s glorious moments. And the Bart car is amazing, right down to the squished-cushion seats.
