Leo Ferris needs to be inducted into the @Hoophall

[Leo Ferris @LeoFerrisNBA]

(1952) "Some Say Leo Ferris Bigger Man in NBA Than Podoloff."

Maurice Podoloff served as president of the BAA from 1946-1949, and the NBA from 1949-1963. 1st commissioner in NBA history

Read the headline & tell me Leo wasn't one of the most important basketball men of the era.

@seankirst So happy I got to meet the both of them! Thanks for capturing the moment

Descendants of the late Emil Barboni, Leo Ferris and Danny Biasone - who changed basketball in 1954 when they convinced the NBA to embrace a 24-second clock - pose together at the reeducation of the one-of-a-kind shot clock monument in Syracuse. My column:

Give this article a read. My great-granduncle @LeoFerrisNBA is one of the creators of the 24-second shot-clock and our family was invited to speak and cut the ribbon and the unveiling ceremony in Syracuse, NY.

[Christian Figueroa @ChristianFigs]

PLEASE READ! Honored to have been invited to speak and cut the ribbon at the unveiling of the new location of the 24-second shot-clock Monument in Syracuse, NY.

[sean kirst @seankirst]

The extraordinary basketball shot clock monument in Syracuse, restored and in (slightly) new downtown location, makes a point about sports history - but also the power of possibility, when you least expect it. My column for The Central Current: https://t.co/dXRIndlTIu

A billboard transformed into a table in Venice Beach… strangers sat down for a moment of connection. We asked them what good news they are raising a glass to?… and found out who were the Irish Goodbye-ers were 😆

Good News Movement went to NYC to film this kindhearted Turkish man who created an entryway so homeless people could sleep in his restaurant. He also got them a heatlamp 🥺 If that wasn’t enough, for 8 years, he hits the streets weekly, donating his food to people in need. The world needs more Ali Babas. ❤️ 🇹🇷

📍 Ali Baba Mediterranean Cusine. 224 E 53rd St, New York, NY 10022

When @United Airlines heard 7-year-old Reid lost his prized collection of Pokémon cards at the airport, they put out a call across their airline. In no time, 88 of their employees pulled together more than 15,000 cards for Reid!

United really meant "Good Leads The Way" with this one. 🫶💖#UnitedPartner #ad

Here’s a guy facing everyone’s worst nightmare and he took time on his birthday to make others feel better. There’s a lesson in there somewhere for all of us.
