  Trusting the process … Lakers style.
  Not that anyone has to tell you this will take a while since it already has.
  You’ll know they’re getting closer when Lonzo Ball starts making 33 percent of his 3-point attempts. Of course, he’s at 25 percent and has to reach 30 percent first.
  And not that Magic Johnson’s dream is impossible. With all contending teams expected to be capped out, LeBron James, the free agent Earvin has in mind, has no obvious place to go.

  Are theme parks art?
  I suspect that many of you might laugh at that question. Disneyland is fun, so it can’t be art, right? Isn’t art supposed to be serious?
  While I suspect that many people might think that, I hope that you do not. Because dismissing the possibility that something like Disneyland or Universal Studios Hollywood could be art isn’t just bad for theme parks – it’s bad for the cause of art.
