RIP Harambe

Our sweet prince. From the moment a 17-year-old gorilla was shot at the Cincinnati Zoo on May 28, 2016, Harambe became the unofficial mascot of Pardon My Take.

Kevin Durant is the Dan Marino of the NBA

Is it fair to say that Kevin Durant is potentially like the Dan Marino of the NBA? You got to start having that conversation, though. Like, is he the best player that will never win a championship?
