Never give up on your dreams

4 years ago, I tore my ACL
A year later, I tore my meniscus — same knee
High school, I was unranked
0 offers/0 scholarships

I wasn’t the biggest, fastest, or strongest growing up.
Just a kid from Boca Raton, Florida
Chasing something no one else could see.

For the next six years, I went from Division I to JUCO to Division II
4 different colleges, 1 relentless journey.
Every step, a new challenge.
Every level, more adversity.

This journey taught me that your story doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but you.

You can rewrite the narrative.
You can defy the odds.
Don’t ever let someone else put their limits on you.
Write your own story. Forge your own path

Adversity is temporary, champion forever ♾️

Spurs the better team but boy being Young and Dumb has kicked them in the ass this entire series yeeeesh

[Wy Network by Dwyane Wade @wynetwork]

Dwyane Wade says for Wemby to come back and win this championship, he has to perform at a level we all think he can 👀

“What Wemby’s done has been incredible, I need to see more. If you’re gonna win this championship… we’re gonna have to see Wemby go to the level that we think Wemby can go to. He’s shown us he can… I knew the opportunity that was in front of me and I didn’t want the opportunity to pass me by, and so I end up discovering a player that I never had seen before. That guy who averaged 34.7 in the Finals, I never seen him before.”

Julian:

"I thought it was over. I ain't gonna lie to you. Getting waived with no warning, no nothing, explanation or anything, it was tough. Big, big shout out to the San Antonio Spurs taking an opportunity to a kid from Brooklyn"

[Ball Don't Stop @balldontstop]

Wemby has no bag yet and his strength & conditioning has a ways to go, but he has the most important thing and that is a burning desire to be the very best. Kobe had it. Jordan had it. It's called competitive honor. The rest will come.

Chris Finch on officiating:

"The league's in a place right now where you draw the contact, spill away, and get rewarded. Guys who try to play through contact ... stay with the drive, they tend not to be rewarded ... Maybe we ought to start flopping too."

Larry Bird would be Luka today but with solid defense. Imagine a Luka that is able to make 2nd team all-defense!

If Kevin Durant ended up on several MVP ballots behind SGA & Jokic, I'd totally understand. Watching this playoff game, it's a miracle that the Rockets were top 10 in Offensive Rating this year. Somehow at his age, in the era of load management he played 78 games and averaged 26 points per game. Truly remarkable when you put in perspective.

[Ball Don't Stop @balldontstop]

I'm tired of the rewriting of history on these apps by the people who weren't there to witness it in real time. All this shit about efficiency (no context) and the new narratives were not even a convo in real time. By 2011 it was widely known that it is Mike and then Kobe.

[Ball Don't Stop @balldontstop]

Never let a casual or stat boy on here confuse you. These were the GM survey results every year.

Kobe Bryant was the most feared and skilled basketball player in the world from 2001-2012.

[Ball Don't Stop @balldontstop]

This is how situational the NBA is.

Nickeil went from a 3&D specialist averaging 9 a game in Minny to the go to bucket getter for the Hawks putting up 21 a night. Very talented.

[Whoz Meech @WhozMEECH]

If we wanna play the stat game that Lebron fans swear by then Jokic is definitely better than LeBron.

[NBA Courtside @NBA__Courtside]

Kenyon Martin says Kevin Durant is the only plug-and-play player in the NBA that we’ve seen in a long time:

“It’s been a lot of great players in this league. But a system has been built around them and they have to wherever they go that system has to change for that person. Not for Kevin Durant. Everybody else can still be them because of his efficiency. 50,40,90 like at this age still doing it like that. With injuries behind him.”

Anthony Davis on Victor Wembanyama:

“The sh*t he do is unrealistic... the tallest guy we seen do sh*t like that is KD… when I play against him it’s like, ‘I got to go to bed at 9 o’clock man, cause it’s gonna be a battle’… one of my favorite players to watch for sure.”

After high school, Yaxel Lendeborg was working in a warehouse with no plans for college. His mom wouldn't let him quit and forced him to keep going.

Now, he’s a national champion.
