📊 NBA Weekly Round-Up: MVP Moves, Playoff Push & Farewell to a Legend

🃏 Jokić Takes the MVP Lead
Nikola Jokić has surged to the top of the Kia MVP race, overtaking Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. On March 8, he made history as the first NBA player to record a triple-double with at least 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 20 assists—a performance that cements his place as the frontrunner.

🐺 Wolves Keep Howling
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on fire, extending their winning streak to eight games after dismantling the Utah Jazz by 26 points. The return of Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert, and Donte DiVincenzo has given the team a much-needed boost, making them a serious threat as the playoffs approach.

♿ Anthony Davis’ Comeback Trail
Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis is rehabbing with the team’s G League affiliate as he works his way back from a left adductor strain. Since being traded from the Lakers six weeks ago, he’s only played one game—but his return could provide a crucial lift as Dallas gears up for the postseason.

🔥 Playoff Race Heats Up
The fight for playoff positioning is intense. The Atlanta Hawks hold the No. 7 seed but sit just one game ahead of the Orlando Magic. Meanwhile, the LA Clippers are battling to improve their standing, with every game carrying major implications as teams scramble to secure a spot.

With the MVP race intensifying, playoff stakes rising, and stars like Anthony Davis on the mend, the closing stretch of the NBA season promises to deliver non-stop action.

🏀 March Madness 2025: Let the Madness Begin

Auburn Claims the Top Spot
Auburn has locked in the overall No. 1 seed, setting themselves up as the team to beat. Their dominant season and depth make them serious title contenders—now the question is, can anyone stop the Tigers?

Bracket Breakdown
The 2025 March Madness bracket is officially revealed! With 68 teams battling for the national championship, the madness kicks off with the First Four on March 18-19, followed by the first round on March 20-21. Get your brackets ready—it's time to make your picks.

Cinderella Watch
Every year, underdogs steal the spotlight, and 2025 is no exception. No. 13 Yale is set to take on No. 4 Texas A&M, while No. 12 UC San Diego faces off against No. 5 Michigan. Both matchups are already being circled as potential upsets—will one of these teams be this year’s Cinderella story?

Biggest Snubs
West Virginia fans are feeling the sting after the Mountaineers were left out of the tournament. Despite a competitive resume, they’ll be watching from home as the madness unfolds.

Teams to Beat
Duke, powered by freshman phenom Cooper Flagg, and Houston, with one of the nation’s most efficient offenses, are both eyeing deep runs. If these teams stay hot, a Final Four showdown could be on the horizon.

The madness is here—buckle up.

BEHIND THE SCENES: BUILDING THE REC PARK APPAREL LINE

We have started trying to release new designs more consistently. The goal is to see what people like and what they dont.

Currently keeping the same style of tees. They are a little bit oversized, boxy fit. We are still looking at more samples for more unique fitting pieces. We are trying to have them setup before summer. Check out the latest drop below.

🏁 Closing Thoughts

I don’t think there’s a better sporting event than March Madness. Games literally all day, constant chance of an upset, and the trash talk…. Can’t be beat. As someone that lives in the Raleigh NC area. Watching NC State’s run last year was wild. Now this year UNC squeaks in, and Duke looks like one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the tourney.

My pick is Auburn though. I think they have been the best team all year with a deep squad and some gamers that want the last shot. Who you got?
