Naturally, as I am watching the star-studded Ocean’s movies, my mind wanders to how this ensemble cast translates to the Phoenix Suns. All of the modern Ocean movies are entertaining, well written, and expertly directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Side note: That one didn’t end the way I wanted and/or expected it to. Thanks to my recent addiction to HBOMax, I have re-watched all of the Ocean’s movies, including the original 1960 heist flick starring the Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. I’m counting down to Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’ release of Masters of the Air. Band of Brothers on HBO, a mini-series I watch at least once a year, is probably my favorite piece of television ever created. While absorbing everything that is new, I always find myself gravitating towards some of my favorites. I’m microwaving popcorn, getting comfortable on the couch, and putting miles on the remote.

Mix in the fact that I have ended employment with one company and have time off before I start my next adventure, and yeah. Me? I’m enjoying consuming content, most notably that available on different streaming platforms. Whatever you call it, it leaves us with hours to do things outside of consuming Suns’ basketball. Some refer to this period as the “dog days”, others call it “I’m doing my fantasy football research”. Summer League has ended and the start of training camp is a month away. We are currently navigating the “in between time”. It’s Friday, so why not take a break from work and sip on a cocktail infused Phoenix Suns basketball and pop culture? On the rocks, of course.
