Daryl Morey Thanks James Harden In Full-Page Newspaper Ad
Daryl Morey spent 13 seasons as the General Manager of the Houston Rockets and during that time, he helped usher analytics into the league, for better or for worse. Morey’s way of looking at the game was special and when he brought James Harden to the team a few years ago, he was able to fully realize what he wanted to achieve with the franchise. Unfortunately, the team was simply never able to get over the hump and deliver a championship to the city of Houston.
This past week, it was revealed that Morey would be stepping away from the team to spend more time with his family. To mark the end of his tenure with the Rockets, Morey took to the Houston Chronicle where he thanked the fans, specifically James Harden, for all of their support.
“An entire page could be dedicated just to James. He not only transformed my life but he also revolutionized the game of basketball – and continues to do so – like almost no one had before,” Morey said. “The game is played differently because of James, and on every playground in the world, the next generation of talent is studying and imitating his game. I can’t believe I won’t be able to have another strategy session with James.”
Moving forward, Rafael Stone will be the team’s general manager, who has received a stamp of approval from Morey. With a new direction coming, it will be interesting to see what Stone will do in his new role.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
