Students, administrators unite to honor Cornell’s late President by candlelight

By

Hundreds of Cornellians gathered on Ho Plaza Tuesday evening for a candlelight vigil honoring President Elizabeth Garrett, who died of colon cancer at her home in New York City on Sunday night

Attendees listened solemnly as student leaders and administrators payed their respects to President Garrett and the Cornell Big Red Marching Band played the Alma Mater

Vice President of Student and Campus Life, Ryan Lombardi remembered how he was one of the first people who Garrett hired to join her administration, saying he knew from their first conversation that she would be a wonderful colleague

“I remember the night vividly that I first met with her,” he said “We had about a two hour long Skype conversation and when I got off of Skype that night, I went home and told my wife that there was no question I

would work for her if given the opportunity It was incredible and I think most people who had the chance to interact with President Garrett felt that same connection ” Lombardi added that despite the complications of her illness, Garrett repeatedly expressed to him how much she regretted not being able to be interact with students during her treatment

“I was in touch with her until the day before she passed,” he said “I had an email from President Garrett from about 4:30 in the morning that said ‘Please tell the students that I’m so sorry that I will not be able to see them today I feel terrible that I can ’ t be there to listen to their concerns Please let them know how much I care about them, how much I respect them and how proud I am to be their President ’” Lombardi added that until the end, Garrett cared

“Please let them know how much I care about them, how much I respect them and how proud I am to be their President.”

about her students, stressing ultimately what mattered most to her was “that Cornell was moving forward in a way that would serve students the best that it could ” “I think it’s important that you all know that, that’s what your president was all about up until the days before her last breaths,” he said “I’m honored to have had the chance to work with her and I look forward to carrying on as we all should the incredible vision that she set out for all of us and for this great institution ”

Michaela Olson ’16, a former drum major for the Big Red Marching Band, said she will always remember how President Garrett represented the Cornell spirit

A policeman ticketed and fined Mehic last month asserting the belch was too loud and too close for comfort But many took his side, including an Istanbulbased company ser ving the sliced meat sandwich that saw Mehic’s punishment as a downer for the doner

The chain on Monday confirmed that it picked up the tab for the flight, hotel and a sightseeing tour during Mehic’s two-day visit last week

And there’s more to what Mehic calls his “dream trip ” The chain’s CEO wrote him a check reimbursing his 70-euro ($77) fine

plans for Dryden South were made before

By JOSH GIRSKY Sun News Editor

After over 10 years in Ithaca, the Collegetown location of Kraftees College Textbook and Clothing store will close its doors at the end of March

While there is another location of Kraftees in Oswego approximately 75 miles away the Ithaca location is closing permanently, according to owner Patrick Kraft

Plans are in place to build an apartment building, Dryden South, where Kraftees was formerly located It will have 40 new beds and should be completed by August 2016, according to Kraft

Although Kraft had originally planned to have Kraftees occupy the ground floor space of Dryden South, because the Johnson School will house a new education center next door, Kraft said he decided to “explore other more complementary uses for the commercial space ”

Kraft said that although he regrets that he must leave his Ithaca location, he is looking forward to spending more time with his family

“I have proudly served the Ithaca community since 2002, but I felt that moving forward with a new building on the site would help to better serve the community as a whole,” Kraft

Prof Addresses Misconceptions of Islam

By KAUSHIK DE Sun Contributor

Prof Nimat Barazangi, feminist, gender and sexuality studies, challenged the view that Islam is a religion of submission in her, discussion of the West’s understanding of Islam in a lecture Monday

Barazangi began by explaining some of the “academic jargon” that she said pervades discussions of Islam

“Islam comes from the Arabic word ‘aslama ’ It means being at peace with oneself,” she said “It does not come from the root ‘sallama,’ meaning submission ”

Barazangi also highlighted the differences between Shari’ah and shari’a law

“Shari’ah, with a capital ‘S,’ is the path that is guided by Qur’anic ethos in its totality to achieve justice,” she said “It is neither the collection of rules derived by Muslim

jurists, nor the interpretations that were solidified by Muslim leaders under ‘Islamic law’ or ‘shari’a law’ with a small ‘ s ’”

Barazangi stressed this clarification, saying “the massive use and abuse of the terms Islam and Shari’ah as the cause for the motives of violence should be the main drive for us to rethink the meaning of these terms ”

Barazangi added that modern shari’a law, and thereby Western views of Islamic states, stem from misunderstanding of the Qur’an, which she called “the primary and only divine source, ” and the Hadith, or “ secondary source ” of narratives relating to Mohammed

“When an individual Muslim accepts the reported narratives that ‘ women are inferior in faith,’ this individual could not have understood the message of the Qur’an,” Barazangi said “Unfortunately, a majority

of modern Muslims erroneously believe that all shari’a rules are binding morally and legally to the Qur’an ”

She urged attendees to rethink the Hadith saying most of the gender-biased interpretations of the Qur’an rely on the reported narratives in the Hadith These narratives are often misused without corroborating their narratives with the Qur’an, according to Barazangi

“I urge Muslim women, and men for that matter, to rethink the Hadith,” Barazangi said Namit also said that Hadith narratives “directly contradict” the Qur’an numerous times, pointing out that --Qur’an opposing slavery and equal distribution of inheritance amongst children regardless of gender, while sections of the Hadith claim the opposite

Alumni Startup Creates World’s First Smartphone Glucose Meter

By ALEX CHAKRIN Sun Contributor

Fathi Abdelsalam MPA ’13 and his colleagues at AkibaH a Silicon Valley startup specializing in utilizing data science has created the world’s first smartphone glucose meter

The meter, GluCase, utilizes smartphone technology to provide information to diabetes patients about their glucose levels

“By seamlessly integrating a glucose meter, test strips and lancets into a smartphone case, it

eliminates the need for a person with diabetes to carr y bulky meters, test supplies and logbooks,” Abdelsalam said

The project founders said that the name, AkibaH comes from ‘akiba haiozi’ a Swahili proverb that meaning “ a person with foresight will always know prosperity ”

“AkibaH focuses heavily on machine learning for personalized, data-driven care to empower patients,” Abdelsalam said “As you increase the size of relevant data, you’ll begin to unlock extraordinarily insightful correlations

among many different lifestyle factors ”

The founders created GluCase to simplify a traditionally bulky and burdensome glucose meter into a form that could fit onto the back of a smartphone and appeal to a large audience, Abdelsalam said

“AkibaH and the development of the GluCase began spring 2013 at Cornell in response to the team ’ s self-imposed challenge to drastically improve the lives of people living with diabetes” he said

The group began as a collection

of Cornell students with a background in engineering and data science, according to Paul Chang M Eng ’17

“I was friends with one of the f o u n d e r s , Haroon Ismail MBA ’13, and he reached out to me to see if I knew of any mechanical engineers that can help with developing the medical device,” he said

insightful correlations among many different lifestyle factors ” As a start-up specializing in data science and health care, the group found that their biggest initial challenge was making sure that they found a solution that fit the needs of their customers

“After

s h o w c a s i n g some of my past projects and d e m o n s t r a t i n g my skills in prototyping, I was soon developing the first iteration of the GluCase ” A b d e l s a l a m said that the founders are excited to realize the potential of health care technology in data

s c i e n c e “AkibaH focuses heavily on machine learning for personalized, data-driven care to empower patients,” he said “As you increase the size of relevant data, you’ll begin to unlock extraordinarily

“Beth is in ever y note and ever y melody and ever y song that the band plays to bring spirit and celebration to Cornell University,” she said “ We are not only wishing her farewell, but inviting her to stay with us and inspire us as we work to making her vision a reality ”

Other attendees said they came to the vigil both to show their support for Garrett and for the Cornell community

“I wanted to support the community and show that Elizabeth Garrett is in our thoughts and prayers, and I think it’s a good opportunity for all of us to come together and think about how short and precious life really is,” said Lor y Henderson, grad

Shikhorshams Wahad ’19, called Garrett an “integral part ” of his Cornell experience, citing her pioneer status as Cornell’s first female president as a source of inspiration

“[Garrett] was a true inspiration as the first female president at Cornell She was part of the Cornell expereince for me As a freshman I used to think of her when I think of Cornell.”

“She was a true inspiration as the first female president at Cornell,” he said “She was part of the Cornell experience for me As a freshman, I used to think of her when I think of Cornell I’m deeply saddened by what happened ”

Chris Arce ’19, one of the event ’ s organizers, said the vigil marked a change from the moment of silence on Monday

“Yesterday we were obser ving, it had just happened,” he said “But today it was good to actually reflect and speak about President Garrett so we could come together as a community and grieve but also rejoice in the fact that we had her for the time that we did ”

He added that he helped organize the event to honor Garrett’s legacy, remembering her commitment to the idea that a sense of community should supercede self

“Last year during convocation she stressed how it’s important to have a purpose that extends beyond ourselves,” Arce said “I really think that by gathering here tonight we can show that although she was only president for a few months, she really was invested and her purpose extended beyond herself ” C o r n e l l i a n s

improve our service to Cornell students and faculty ”

Kraft said he is grateful to his faithful customers who have visited the store over the past decade

“Opening the store in Collegetown has been an excellent experience since day one, and the foray of people since that time has provided many fond memories,” he said

Kraft said he recalls many special memories at Kraftees, including housing Cornell memorabilia at his store before his team moved down the street

“When we occupied 325 College Ave , we had a crew boat from Cornell Crew hanging in the store, ” Kraft said “It was used in multiple championship races and really helped create a lot of pageantry in the store When the building was closed and we were

forced to move, taking down that boat was a solemn moment ” Kraft added that he hopes the Cornell community will always appreciate what his store offered to the community

“[Kraftees]

“We hope in the coming weeks that the community will make one last stop to Kraftees,” he said “We hope that we are remembered fondly and that we will be missed ”

Trump Wins Two Primaries; Clinton Takes Mississippi; Sanders Wins in M i c h i g a n

L ANSING, Mich (AP)

Bernie Sanders breathed new life into his longshot White House

Republican Donald Trump swept to victor y in both Michigan and Mi s s i s s i p p i , ov e r c o m i n g f i e r c e efforts to blunt his momentum

Ev e n w i t h Sa n d e r s ’ w i n , Clinton and Trump moved closer to a general election face-off Clinton breezed to an easy victor y in Mississippi, propelled by ov e r w h e l m i n g s u p p o r t f r o m black voters, and she now has more than half the delegates she needs to clinch the Democratic nomination Trump, too, padded his lead over Texas Sen Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who carried the Idaho primar y T h e f r o n t - r u n n e r s t u r n e d their sights on November as they reveled in their wins

"We are better than what we a re b e i n g o f f e re d b y t h e Republicans," Clinton declared

In a nod toward the kind of traditional politics he’s shunned, Trump emphasized the importance of helping Republican senators and House members get e l e c t e d i n t h e f a l l H a v i n g entered Tuesday's contests facing a barrage of criticism from rival candidates and outside groups, he also delighted in overcoming the attacks

“Ever y single person who has attacked me has gone down,” Trump said at one of his Florida

resorts He was flanked by tables packed with his retail products, including steaks, bottled water and wine, and defended his busin e s s re c o rd m o re t h o r o u g h l y than he outlined his policy proposals for the countr y Sanders (D-Vt ) meanwhile, said Michigan signaled “that we are a national campaign ” “ We already have won in the Midwest, New England and the Great Plains and as more people get to know more about who we are and what our views are we ’ re g o i n g t o d o v e r y w e l l , ” t h e Vermont senator said in a statement

While a handful of recent losses to Cruz have raised questions about Trump’s durability, Tuesday’s contests marked another lost opportunity for rivals desperate to stop his march to the nomination Next week’s winnertake-all contests in Ohio and Florida loom large as perhaps the last chance to block him short of a contested convention fight Ohio Gov John Kasich was in a fight with Cruz for second place in Michigan and hoping a good showing would give him a boost heading into next week's crucial contest in his home state Fo r Fl o r i d a Se n Ma r c o Rubio, Tuesday marked the latest i n a s e r i e s o f d i s a p p o i n t i n g n i g h t s He e m e r g e d f r o m Michigan and Mississippi with no new delegates, a grim outcome for a candidate who has the ov e r w h e l m i n g s u p p o r t f r o m Republican senators, governors and other elected officials

Several students mentioned that they will miss the lower textbook prices the store offered, calling them much better than those at the Cornell Store

“They had everything the Cornell store had, but at a discounted rate, ” said Adon Chowdhury ’18, who added that he will now have to find a new place to buy textbooks “The Cornell store overprices their textbooks, so I’ll probably end up using Amazon or online sources instead ”

James Jiang ’18 said he will miss Kraftees’ convenience and friendly customer service

“The people who work at Kraftees are really nice,” Jiang said “They always give me a free Cornell shirt whenever I buy books there ”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Student Fashion Spotlight

BY MAX VAN ZILE Sun Staff Writer

From her ruby-red lips down, Riley Kilgariff ’16 makes her interest in fashion clear without saying a word After spending four years studying in Cornell’s Fiber Science and Apparel Design (FSAD) program, she’s finally been offered the opportunity to display her work at the Cornell Fashion Collective’s upcoming Annual Runway Show This Saturday, her collection of dresses and jackets will be displayed alongside the work of her peers in Barton Hall

The Sun had a chance to speak with Riley outside Libe Café, where she explained her interest in fashion, explicated her philosophy on design and gave insight into the program from which she’ll soon graduate

THE S UN: So how did you become interested in fashion design?

RIL EY KILGA RIFF: Well, I’ve always been interested in art I’ve been in art classes my whole life I don’t know the actual moment when it happened, but I know I’ve always really enjoyed drawing and painting, and I moved over into fashion sometime in middle school Ever since then that’s what I’ve wanted to do Then I did it, and here I am!

S UN: What kind of clothes do you normally design?

R K : I do women ’ s wear Basically, stuff I like for myself Nothing too crazy or over the top This collection is dresses, pants and jackets, so it’s dark green and bright pink

S UN: Like watermelon?

R K : Yeah, I know, people have been saying that! I’m like, yeah, it does look like watermelon, but that was not my intention But yeah, kind of like that And then I have these circle motifs, and some other pieces

S UN: Do you have any opinion on the fashion industry’s superficiality and recent move towards more realistic-looking models?

R K : That’s something to think about, and that’s also one of the reasons I might not want to do fashion It seems not useless, because I don’t think that I do think fashion is important It’s something everyone interacts with, something you can ’ t escape So it’s very important in that way But I definitely think the move to be more inclusive is good, because it is something that everyone has to deal with and interact with and I know there are a lot of issues with brands and sizing It’s important

S UN: Do you find yourself, as a fashion designer, judging people’s clothing choices or sense of style?

R K : I wouldn’t say judging I actually had this conversation with someone recently He was describing some crazy outfit that he was wearing, and I was like, that could work! He said every fashion major he’d told the story to had that same reaction, but everyone else was like, “Ew, why would you wear that?” So it’s less about what you wear but how you wear it It’s personal I definitely notice it, but I wouldn t say I m judging between good and bad It’s just interesting to see what people wear

S UN: Is there any unifying theme in your work or a statement you d like to make, or do you just try to make the prettiest thing possible?

R K : That’s interesting I know there are a lot of designers who have a very strong statement about what they’re trying to say, and a story I guess I d say I make pretty things that I would wear, and that I think are cool

S UN: So you have an idea for a dress How long does it take from having the idea to someone actually wearing the dress?

R K : Well, it depends on how complicated it is It’s hard to estimate If it was a really basic dress, like a sundress, I could probably do that in a day The way it works is if I had the idea, I’d sketch it out and it’d go through a bunch of rounds of sketches until you find the perfect one that you want, and then you go and make it out of paper pattern, and then from there you make it in a mock-up, and you fit it on your model, make all the adjustments, and then you do it on your final fabric, sew it and finish it

S UN: Would you describe members of the fashion industry or your program as hypercompetitive?

R K : Not here, but I have noticed that elsewhere I think that since we ’ re such a small program, we ’ re more collaborative than competitive Especially [with] all the seniors right now, our styles are so different that you couldn’t really compare them There isn’t really much competition The industry is pretty competitive though But not at Cornell [It probably is competitive] at other schools, where there’s a bigger fashion program Especially since here, everyone can show [their designs] At some other schools, not everyone can be in the final show, so that probably creates more competition Being here and being in this environment that’s not like an art school is good for that

SU N: Were there any other people’s work in the show that you found especially interesting?

R K : I thought everyone ’ s work was interesting!

SU N: That’s a good answer

R K : Yeah, but it’s true Everyone has a different perspective and they’re bringing different experiences Just the way that someone will interpret something is really interesting We’ve been working on this basically since the beginning of the year, and last semester we had a class where we were establishing what we wanted to do with a collection Collecting images, inspiration, that kind of thing So it’s really interesting to see someone ’ s wall of inspiration turn into clothes, because the way they interpret their images is different from the way I would do it It’s a really interesting process to see how everyone ’ s vision plays out in the end It’ll be really interesting to see how everyone ’ s stuff turns out!

Curry Can’t be Stopped

Pepicelli Earns First C.U. Win

beautiful, less physical and more finesse based It’s the era of small ball let it be, Mark Cuban Focus on Shark Tank and leave NBA policy to the real analysts

Also consider trying to help your Mavs be contenders again

Part of me misses the domination of big men from my childhood The pure strength and fury of Shaq was remarkable Does anyone else remember him breaking the backboard, the glass shattering into thousands of little pieces as the hopes of any opponent breaks with it?

Is it a good thing that the game has become less physical? It depends on whom you ask, but critics will, again, be silenced as soon as Golden State wins its second championship in two years

As much as I love Charles Barkley, his theories on how the small ball game can ’ t win championships was proven false Now the only proven thing is that the Warriors’ style works it’s working in the NBA, has potential to

give the Warriors immortality by (hopefully) setting the single season wins record and showing an entire generation that the little man can be the best on the floor

As more and more casual fans become diehards from watching Curry effortlessly put up shot after shot from 10 feet away beyond the 3-point arc, we are reminded of how this isn’t the way it used to be What happened to post-up buckets?

The NBA has entered a new era, with Steph Curry as the messiah leading the cause As his wrist reads, love never fails we will continue to love the game Critics will criticize the small ball game, and those critics will be proven wrong The debate will live on NBA legends will attack Curry, argue his game and analyze the results but in the meantime he’ll be setting records and winning championships with ease

When you find yourself thinking when a ball is hit at you, you are in trouble, according to Lowell

“We need to trust ourselves,” Lowell said “We need to trust the process ” After dropping the r ubber

game, Pepicelli and the Red are not satisfied with the inconsistent start

“ We could have won the series,” Pepicelli “I expect to win ” Winawer echoed his coach’s optimism

“ We flashed some signs of what we ’ re expecting from the team, ” Winawer said “We were

able to see where we ’ re able to improve ”

The slow start aside, Pepicelli has full confidence in his players and the team culture he has worked to help establish

“This is a great group of kids,” he said

My Experience Racing in IC4A’s

last indoor competition of my junior season, and I knew I was not done breaking records

I wanted to go for the all-time indoor 400m dash record for Cornell

Travelling five plus hours to run around a track in under 47 04 seconds was all I had to do

Going into the meet, I was No 5 all time with a 47 99 It may not seem like much, but dropping almost an entire second on your 400m dash personal best is no easy task

During the Saturday prelims, I ran a clean 47 44 seconds to place second in my heat I was still 4 seconds away from putting myself on

top of Cornell’s record books, but I knew I still had more money in the bank for finals the following day

My mind was stirring for the next 24 hours I was one race away from attaining my goal and putting away my indoor season on the best note possible This, along with a midterm, presentation and take-home exam I had coming up the following week was more than enough to drive me up the wall

Unfortunately, my hotel’s internet ser vice was buggy and unreliable, so using simple sites like Blackboard to access my learning materials was borderline unfeasible Evidently, I had no choice but to solely focus

on preparing my body for the fastest race of my career

On Sunday, the IC4A championships atmosphere was exceptional I felt proud to be the only Ivy League athlete representing the 400m dash at one of the largest track meets in the Northeast I ended up in the first heat of two, determined to drop the hammer

The race itself was a neck-and-neck battle between me and a Hampton University athlete He led the charge to the 200m mark in just over 22 seconds, with me following right behind With 150m left to go, my body slowly but surely built up lactic acid from going out so fast in the beginning I can hon-

estly say if it weren ’ t for my coach’s enthusiasm, the race would have ended differently

“Stay with him! Stay with him,” head coach Adrian Durant shouted from the infield Strangely enough, that was the only exclamation I could hear among the huge crowd It made me think about all the work I put in for that very moment, all the long hours I travelled to be there, all within a few milliseconds

Red Opens Year With 1-2 Series With Northeastern

By KEITH BOLLT Sun Staff Writer

Sean O’Sullivan is a 28-year-old journeyman in Spring Training for the Boston Red Sox Paul Balestrieri is a junior in Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences What do they have in common? They both were tabbed as starting pitchers against Northeastern last week, O’Sullivan by Red Sox manager John Farrell on Tuesday and Balestrieri by Cornell head coach Dan Pepicelli on Saturday Cornell baseball (1-2) dropped its first series of the season

to Northeastern (6-5) at neutral, tropical Winter Haven, Florida last weekend The Red was shut out in the first and third games, 6-0 on Saturday and 11-0 on Sunday morning, and picked up the middle game, 7-5

In the first game on Saturday, Cornell hit some balls hard and right at fielders Senior left fielder Jordan Winawer pointed out that despite all the work the Red has put in since arriving on campus in August, there is no substitute for game action

“[Northeastern starter Aaron Civale] has pretty good stuff but it’s nothing we haven’t seen, ” he said “It takes a couple of

M y Q u e s t t o B r e a k a C .U. R e c o r d

After the grueling loss against our rival team Princeton at the 2016 Indoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, the men ’ s track and field team was distraught to say the least

We were the definitive favorites to reclaim our championship title, but Princeton did not care about any predictions

The Tigers’ primary goal was to beat the guy with a ‘C’ on his chest, and this mentality carried throughout their entire team

Princeton even got the best of me in my own race During the prelims of the 400m dash

only took me so far Princeton managed to edge me out by a miniscule 0 03 seconds to take the 400m HEPS Championship title in my favorite event To technically make things worse, our race was so competitive that we both ran under 48 seconds, meaning he

Bouncing back | Junior Tobe Attah and other members of the track team travelled to Boston for the IC4A Championship

now claims the Barton Hall record

To this day, we are the only two people to run a 400m dash that fast on this flat track Luckily I am only a junior, so I have another year to take back this milestone on my home track

Aside from all the drama collegiate sports brought to my life that weekend, I still had a slew of schoolwork to deal with I made sure to knock out quick assignments before the HEPS even commenced, but group projects and newer assignments were on the rise

As hectic as my schedule can be, I have somehow made it a chaotic simplicity Instead of taking the next weekend off to rest from our conference championships, I decided to venture out east for the 2016 IC4AECAC Indoor Championships in Boston This would be the

at bats for some guys to get settled in ”

Senior shortstop Eliot Lowell said some had jitters taking the field for the first time this season He agreed with Pepicelli that Cornell hit well

“It was more good pitching than bad hitting,” Lowell said With the second game also set to be played on Saturday, Cornell was tasked with shaking off a loss quickly

It took the team five batters into the first inning to put three runs on the board The game ’ s first two batters reached base and scored on a two-run triple by junior first baseman cleanup hitter Cole Rutherford, a transfer playing in his first Cornell game Rutherford was knocked in by a double from sophomore right fielder Dale Wickham

“We jumped all over him in the first inning,” Winawer said about Northeastern’s opposing pitcher “That’s what our offense expected to do ”

Senior left hander Michael Byrne, handed a lead, was touched for an unearned run and did not last long enough to factor in the decision The Huskies, trailing 5-1 after five innings, chipped away against Cornell’s bullpen, taking advantage of a few costly walks After eight, the game was tied up at five With a man on in the top of the ninth, up again stepped Rutherford, who launched one out of the park for a two-run homer

“Cole’s a big part of our lineup,” Winawer said “He got a good pitch to hit It was a no doubter It’s huge for him ”

The 7-5 score held up in the bottom of the ninth, and Pepicelli earned his first victory as a Cornell manager

After solid mechanics and results on Saturday, Cornell did not have a good game on Sunday Northeastern scored with clean hits They scored on errors They invoked the mercy rule

“Sunday, we got exactly what we deserved swinging the bat,” Pepicelli said “We didn’t play good defense, we didn’t pound the zone ” Lowell, who committed one of the box score ’ s three Red errors, said he found himself reluctant to trust on the work he had put in

אהבה

Love Never Fails The sacred Hebrew text is inked on Steph Curry’s shooting arm, featured prominently on his wrist

“But where there are prophecies,” the biblical word continues, “they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away ”

If we love the NBA, love the sport itself and love the competition it gives us then we will be at ease with the beauty and unconventionality of Curry’s game; at ease with how he has changed the sport for better or worse

Basketball Association has been realized in the NBA Using the 3-point shot as a competitive marketing strategy, the ABA relied on unorthodox style and flair to attract fans away from the established, yet mundane, NBA Catering to the cavalier attitude of the start-up ABA, the 3-point line was an opportunity for teams to space the floor and allow more dri-

The days of the reigning big man are over Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon watch in disbelief, cringing at how the best NBA team relies on lowpercentage shooting instead of aggressive in the paint play A shrimp in comparison, the 6-foot3 Steph Curry has already broken the single season record for most 3-point field goals, while his team has already clinched a playoff birth with a month left in the season

And nearly 50 years later, the rogue experiment of the American

ves to the hoop Eventually the ABA folded, giving us teams like the Spurs, Nets and the Nuggets

The Warriors style of play is becoming endemic So much so that the outspoken, impulsive Mavericks owner Mark Cuban suggested moving the 3-point line back Chalk this up to Cuban overreacting to Steph Curr y ’ s exceptional talent The game is evolving, growing into something
