Jack of All Takes: Joel Embiid has the best story in sports

Amid years of missed games due to knee surgery, an orbital fracture in his face and constant strife from fans, the 2023 NBA MVP Joel Embiid is proving the world wrong.

JACKpot: Get your political individuality back, read local news

It has become incredibly easy to feel disconnected from the issues that are really impacting our communities.
