Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end.

You had to be there. And now it’s over.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

After 18 NBA seasons, Russell Westbrook has retired. A legendary career: NBA’s top 75, 2017 league MVP, nine-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA, USA Olympic Gold Medalist and the all-time record for triple-doubles.

Sam Presti on SGA bucking what NBA fans say they hate: He plays both ends of the floor, never complains and moans “he has three technical fouls, none for complaining he got one for waving a towel in support of a teammate” said he “plays every night so you can’t get him on that” and the next one is he has brought the mid range back to an art form so he isn’t a guy that is just launching 3s. Then the other one is these guys are totally inaccessible, well the guy signs 400 autographs before every game. Based on those narratives, he would be doing them right. So if we are just talking about trying to draw fouls, well every other great player tries to draw fouls. And only 2.5% of those fouls were challenged. 4 of them were overturned.

Shai took 3 free throws. OKC took 12. They won by 18.

I opened this app after the game and immediately saw 3 straight "FT merchant" tweets.

Might actually be the most successful media psyop since Rudy Gobert playoff talk.

“Y’all think I’m losing my mind… I have peace. I have joy. I have the fruits of The Spirit. I don’t have to search for those things no more. Jesus Christ saved me & He can do the same for those that repent & believe The Gospel”
- Jaden Ivey on IG this morning

Well said & a direct shot at liberal, godless sports media

Jaden Ivey’s FULL IG Live:

"All I'm preaching is about Jesus Christ and they waived me. They say I'm crazy, I'm psycho. God let these things happen for a reason. When I came into the league all I wanted to do was win championships, get millions of bucks, get that next contract, get all them cars, that's all I wanted, until the Lord showed me…

What good is it to gain the world & forfeit your soul? What good is it to not follow the Lord, obey his commandments?…You only get to drive the Ferrari for the time being… You only drive it for however long…What good is it gonna do for y'all on Judgment Day if you don't know the Lord Jesus Christ and obey his commandments?

It's not gonna do no good doing your will and trying to win championships, that's where many stumble.

That's why you got Steph Curry, he don't know Jesus, and I pray he comes to the truth, that him & his family be saved in Jesus name…All them rings he got…all them rings LeBron got, Michael Jordan got, all them people in the HOF who don't know Jesus Christ, it's not gonna matter on Judgment Day.

They gonna try to stop me, but I'm not. I'm gonna be speaking the Truth… That's why everybody around me turning their back on me, because of my faith…I didn't get myself waived–I was in the gym today rehabbing…doing my job…doing whatever they said to do… and they kicked me out.

And I'm sure every NBA team gonna say the same thing: 'We don't want him, he's too religious for us'…I hope you turn to Jesus Christ…that you can be forgiven of your sin…we've all sinned…there has to be an atonement, there has to be something…God is faithful to do it, but you have to believe…Jesus gives you power over the devil, please turn to Jesus Christ.

It's not his will that these players perish in the NBA. They searching for something they not gonna achieve…they got all these goals…they need to be searching what's the next goal I can do for the Lord Jesus Christ… You gotta have faith in Jesus…They gonna cancel me I'm telling you… This word is gonna be preached. He's gonna come like a thief in the night for those who don't believe. Nothing good in the world besides following Jesus Christ… Y'all think y'all hidden, He sees the things you're doing at night…the pornography…the fornication…the lying…the physical abuse…the fighting––"

Flight attendant: "I'm sorry to bother you…are you on your mobile?…it interferes with the communication"

Ivey: "May Jesus bless y'all…My god's willing to save the dirtiest of sinners…May you be blessed in Jesus name."

I'm a Christian who didn't wait til marriage.
I'm a Christian who has battled anger.
I'm a Christian who has put others down.
I'm a Christian who has lied to get their way.
I'm a Christian that has chased the wrong things.

I'm not a Christian because I "check all the boxes"
I'm a Christian because I'm weak & broken and I need Jesus Christ.

And by God's Grace, He builds me more into the man He wants me to be daily.

If you're not a perfect Christian, this page is for you.

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.

"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."

"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."

You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.

It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.

No shortcuts...Just hard work.
