Bucks Pat Connaughton brings Championship trophy home to Boston area

Pat Connaughton with the much-deserved Larry O'Brien Trophy

Milwaukee Bucks' guard, Pat Connaughton, is back home in the Boston area, and he brought the recently-won Larry O'Brien trophy with him. He was born in Arlington, Massachusetts and attended St. John's Prep in Danvers where he starred as a 3-sport athlete, prior to attending college at Notre Dame.

The 2020-21 season was his sixth in the NBA, and the do-everything guard helped bring a second Championship to Milwaukee. How valuable was Connaughton to the Bucks cause in winning the Title (per behindthebuckpass.com's Bradshaw Furlong)?

Connaughton had a great regular season, put together an even better playoff run, and was an invaluable member of the rotation in every playoff series. The Bucks don’t win the championship without Connaughton, that’s probably something everyone can agree with.

So Pat came home to the Boston area, bringing not only the Championship trophy, but an unspoken message to his hometown team, the Boston Celtics. Connaughton and his teammates relied on tough defense, ball movement and unselfish team play to earn their Championship rings. Ime Udoka and his crew in Boston can take a lesson or two from the Bucks successful season.

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik
