And that possibility brings fundamentally important things into sharp focus: basketball, my life. Whether and how I remain cosmic. Whether I am still free.
(I am still free, yet you are all my prisoners for eternity)

How Basketball Can Save The World, by David Hollinger (a thread)
It's like this.I walk by a basketball court,any court,I stop.Full stop.If they're playing,I'll hang out for a while just to watch,to hear basketball sounds.Lose myself. (I wonder,will they make Super League)
…(1/6)
We ask because we know the value of playing. We know what's at stake when you stop playing. And now, as old as I am, I know I'm getting closer to not playing. (But for now I slam and dominate my opponent)

Livin’ on O’Grady Prayers…
(A thread)
Once upon a time not so long ago
Luka used to work on the block, strain is in his thigh
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Kyrie works the paint all day working for the man
They bring home their pay, for love, self love
(1/3)
(2/3)
He says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if fans like it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Magic O’Grady words of wisdom (a thread):
O’Grady told his grandson:
My son, there's a battle between two wolves in this world and inside us all.
One is Evil~anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, interiority, lies…ego.
(2/3)
The other is Good~ joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindess, & truth."
The boy though about it, and asked:
"Grandfather, which wolf wins?"
The boy’s father, son of Magic, was listening nearby and proudly replied:
“Son, it’s an obvious wisdom… it’s the one you feed."
