I was reading Gery Woelfel's report on the Bucks' firing of Jason Kidd and came across this interesting nugget:

But don’t believe for a second Kidd had issues solely with Parker, whom sources said he tried to trade even before Parker suffered the first of his two ACL tears.

Interesting take showing that Jabari/Kidd relationship breaking down may have happened earlier than people anticipated. Worth noting that Jabari was banned from shooting threes two weeks into his NBA career.

After a few careless attempts at the island, I came back a third time and was actually successful at defeating all the monsters. I acted strategically, keeping one set of monsters alive to give me a large supply of arrows and defeated all four sets of monsters, plus the Hinox.
