The city last year sued Carlson over exterior conditions at the North Richmond Street property, noting that inspectors could not get inside the two-story building, public records show. Three months later, on a Cook County judge’s orders, city inspectors visited again and found fire safety violations inside the property, including a common stairway devoid of smoke detectors.
“Big Ten Conference coaches and student-athletes are expected to display the highest level of sportsmanship conduct,” Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren said in a statement. “I am grateful for the partnership with Michigan Athletics Director, Warde Manuel and Wisconsin Athletics Director, Chris McIntosh. Our expectation is that the incident yesterday will provide our coaches and student-athletes with the opportunity to reflect, learn and move forward in a manner that demonstrates decorum and leadership on and off of the court.”

During All-Star introductions, DJ D-Nice played the chorus from the old O’Jays’ hit, “For the Love of Money.” (“Money, money, money, money … MO-neeey.”) It was befitting considering the immense amount of wealth accumulated by the superstars being announced.
The large 3-alarm fire, first reported before 4 a.m. , was still burning as of 7:40 a.m., a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department said. The blaze required about 150 firefighters and 50 firefighting vehicles, which were called to the 4300 block of North Richmond Street in Albany Park, he said.
Needless to say, the Slam Dunk contest should be reserved for actual All-Stars. Get a sponsor to provide a $1 million prize for the winner’s favorite charity if that’s what it takes to get better contestants. The 2022 event was about as bad as it gets, and if the NBA doesn’t realize that after all the negative social media reaction, then Commissioner Adam Silver has his shiny, bald head in the sand.
