'How bad are the 76ers?
Record books are funny things. Every team in professional sports wants to get into them. Every athlete wants to see their name on a list of athletic distinctions,accomplishments. Both team and indiviual will be pointed at with pride for years to come if they are in the record books. However, there is another part to the record books, one that you can get your name and no one wants this distinction. The Philadelphia 76ers basketball team may go in the books for worst NBA season ever. After playing 37 games of the 82 game schedule the 76ers are a dismal 4-34 with a .105 winning percentage. According to the Sportsdaily the team set a record for being the first NBA franchise to lose 29 0f it's first 30 games . So how does Philadephia stack up against all the other losing teams from the pro leagues? -
'The life and death of Chet Baker.
The life and death of trumpet icon Chet Baker is very emblematic of the American jazz scene, particularly the 1950s West Coast 'cool jazz scene'. There was so much promise and possibility in the music.There was also too much heroin. A very apt comment about Baker is that in his early career he had the promise of James Dean, Frank Sinatra and Bix Biederbecke rolled into one. There was a very long fade out for Baker though. He didn't die young like Biederbecke and grow into a jazz legend. When the end came for troubled Baker, he was much older than his 58 years. The boy from Oklahoma who started out with just his ability to play a melodic trumpet was a used up junkie who took a mysterious dive out of a Amsterdam hotel room window.
