Giannis says he showed up EARLY to work out with Kobe, and the Black Mamba made him pay for it
“Working out with Kobe, I showed up before him. I love that I did it, but it was a mistake”
“Kobe came and said, ‘What are we gonna do?’ I said, ‘Whatever you tell me to do.’ He said, ‘Go right, make 25.’ I usually make four or five. I said, ‘Yeah… make 25.’ I made 25. ‘Okay, go left, 25.’ Then, ‘Go right, two dribbles’”
“We worked out for two hours, intense, and I’m thinking, I shouldn’t have shot before this, I’m tired, I wanted to show him my best version”
“But here’s what players won’t do today: they won’t be vulnerable. They won’t show weakness, or show appreciation to somebody better. If you always think you’re the best, you can never learn”
“I had my notebook, I asked a lot of questions, he answered every single one, and never made me feel like we were running out of time. It was one of the best experience in my career”
Before Day26, before Mindless Behavior, there was an R&B Boy Band straight outta Chicago with all the promise in the WORLD.
Originally a five piece and then four, One Chance was discovered by Usher and signed by Clive Davis on the spot.
Their debut single “Look At Her” featuring Fabo of D4L had MySpace and 106 & Park in a chokehold. Their debut album ‘Private’ continued to get pushed back and eventually shelved due to continuing changes at J Records [several acts saw this fate during the J/Jive/Zomba/RCA shakeup].
After leaving J/US, they signed with T-Pain over at Nappy Boy which brought their mixtape ‘Ain’t No Room For Talkin’’.
One Chance never really got their “chance” and that sucks because they truly deserved it.
“Could This Be Love” is one of my favorite leaks from them. I remember everyone always said Rob looked like Lloyd 🤣.
Can’t believe this was 20 years ago.
Song: “Look At Her” - full ATL Snap anthem.

43 today. Seasoned enough to know better, bold enough to still go for it, and wise enough to make it look easy. Chapter 43 just unlocked, and the plot twist is simple: I’m aging like fine wine and still keeping the story interesting 🍷🔥
@Ahjinae It’s not the worst year it may look like it on the outside but 2025 made you stronger on the inside and mentally prepared you for 2026 it was a life lesson. Think about it to be able to say this tweet means you made it through the worst already 🙏🏾❤️
@Expedia One of my favorite trips was when I stayed at a resort, definitely a hotel vibe. My favorite amenity had to be the pool with the swim up bar, nothing beats grabbing a drink without even leaving the water. That kind of relaxation just hit different.
@Expedia Outside my window, I’d want to see a calm turquoise ocean stretching endlessly, the sun just starting to rise so the sky is painted with soft pinks and golds. Palm trees swaying in the breeze, the sound of gentle waves hitting the shore, and maybe a hammock waiting for me.
You think that the goal is to be over there, and we say the goal is the journey over there; the goal is the fun you have along the way on your way to over there.
