Hornets really had Melo, B Miller, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Moses Diabete winning every game after the All-Star break and giving the team culture + identity. The first time in the teams history. This LaMelo trade is just confusing
Everyone hears the saying “don’t meet your heroes”. When I met Dustin Poirier, that saying completely shattered for me. I was a complete stranger to him, yet he chatted with me and had me walking away from the conversation a better man than I was before it. He’s helped the lives of thousands of kids through The Good Fight Foundation & has been a role model his entire career for being strong for yourself when facing adversity. If you can’t empathize with his pain & his mistakes, you’ll never forgive yourself for your own. The Diamond will always be my hero
Apparently, Lamine was a bright-eyed boy until he held up a Palestine flag. Then, he became controversial.
The journalists who make a living romanticising athletes like Muhammad Ali are the first to punish those who try to use their voice for something meaningful today.
Justin Gaethje feels he deserves to be rewarded with EQUITY for everything he's done for the UFC.📈👀
"I'm in a place where I feel like I deserve to be compensated for what I have done, not for what I'm going to do. The UFC should create a company and give me equity in that company so I can build passive income."

A lot of talk about how this title changes or impacts Brunson’s legacy but after this run I can never see KAT as anything other than one of the most lovable personalities in all of basketball.
🚨🎙️ Nicolás Otamendi on how Argentina treats Lionel Messi:
“People always ask if we treat Messi differently in the national team.
The answer is yes... and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
We're talking about the greatest player in history.
But it's not about giving him special privileges. It's about understanding who he is and what he means to Argentina.
When Messi speaks, everyone listens. When Messi is on the pitch, everyone runs a little harder. Not because he asks us to, but because he inspires it.
I've played with him for many years, and what surprises me most is his humility. A player who has won everything could act like a king, but Leo is one of the most normal people you'll ever meet.
That's why the dressing room protects him.
Not because he's Messi the superstar, but because he's Messi our captain, our teammate and the man who carried the dreams of an entire country for so many years.
Some teams have great players.
We have Messi.
And trust me, that's a privilege none of us take for granted."
Football is genuinely the closest thing we have to a universal language. Expanding the World Cup to 48 teams was a top tier decision man. More countries, more cultures, more stories.
Gaethje walkout is better than any tracking cam movie shots. No reshots. One take. Real time. Most badass shit I've ever seen. Documentary renegade live film making.
Staring down the actual Declaration of Independence before stepping into the octagon as an underdog to beat the piss out of an undefeated fighter in front of the world is an extraordinary level of legendary
