John Hamilton Mortimer and the discovery of Captain Cook
John Hamilton Mortimer (1740-1779),
Captain James Cook, Sir Joseph Banks, Lord Sandwich, Dr Daniel Solander and Dr John Hawkesworth, c. 1771, oil on canvas, nla.pic-an7351768
The National Library of Australia holds within its large collection of artworks a most intriguing eighteenth century painting, the bequest of Dame Merlyn Myer. A beautiful work in good condition, the painting is unsigned and lacks its original title. Early research into the painting revealed that it had hung unremarked in private collections for 150 years and then suffered a misattribution to Johann Zoffany which, while initially inflating its value in the art market, had obscured the painting’s true identity and significance. Rejection of the Zoffany attribution also cast doubt on the subjects Joseph Banks and Captain Cook and the date 1771
Well, after so many years of waiting around and awful basketball seasons (and I'm not talking within the state of Arizona either), your Phoenix Suns are finally back into the Playoffs! I have to.
Talent and cohesiveness.
You can t win in the NBA without the former and you can t win big in the NBA without the latter.
How does either word apply to the Timberwolves, who just completed a typically lousy season, made yet another midseason coaching change and might not land a top pick in the 2021 draft?
Objectively, this season was a failure. The Wolves began with modest hope, then finished 23-49.
Subjectively, you can see the makings of a quality team, an entertaining team, perhaps the best Wolves team since the roster included not only Kevin Garnett and Sam Cassell, but also Ndudi Ebi, Latrell Sprewell, Quincy Lewis, Fred Hoiberg, Oliver Miller, Michael Olowokandi, Mark Madsen and the other Ervin Johnson, just in case you forgot how any given roster can look like the cast of a Survivor -like game show.

When James Jones drafted Cameron Johnson with the 11th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, many doubted his price for valued paid. A fourth year guy? A dude who is 241 days
older than Devin Booker? Surely he can’t be serious!
Jones was serious. And don’t call him Shirley.
The national pundits have backtracked on their initial draft-day analysis since Johnson’s selection. As Dave King noted, in a recent re-draft of the 2019 players by John Hollinger of The Athletic, Johnson went #6.
