(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

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.
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.

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. ❤️ 🇹🇷

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!
