To the youth, I need y’all to hear me. There were times in my life when I felt lost and couldn’t see beyond what was right in front of me. I know how deeply your environment and surroundings can influence the way you think, the choices you make, and what you believe is possible for your life, but they don’t have to determine who you become.
Growth is real, and it’s never too late to choose a different direction.
My responsibility is to use my voice and my platform to build, motivate, and create more opportunities for the next generation. That work didn’t start today, and it won’t stop here.
Choose your future. Choose your family. Choose growth.
I’m standing with y’all. We’re moving forward with purpose. ❤️

An Ohio dad pretended to be his 11-year-old daughter on TikTok so he could lure her alleged rapist to his home where he shot him twice.
Diego Montoya Gonzalez, 20, was shot by dad Malik Chandler, 31, in July after the 11-year-old’s mother discovered a video on their daughter’s phone that showed him sexually assaulting the girl at their Grove City, Ohio, home, prosecutors said.
The next day, Chandler pretended to be his daughter on TikTok to get Montoya Gonzalez back to their home where he shot him twice, WNBS reported.
Tony Allen GOES IN on LeBron for believing he should’ve won DPOY in 2013 and says players used to HUNT him on defense 😳
“Yo Bron, stop it bro. You ain’t ever had to check nobody bro. His biggest defensive plays are the chase down blocks. That’s his biggest thing. He was sayin he could’ve got Marc Gasol’s award… I didn’t think not one time LeBron deserved that. If Marc didn’t get it, I should’ve got it. To see him say for his legacy he should’ve got that award, I’m saying to myself ‘bro every game you came in, you was the hunted. You was the guy.’ All you did was a couple chase down blocks a game. Name somebody that he had to lock up and get the win? He’s so hyped up because of the chase down blocks. — He locked up Paul Pierce? We made that man go to Miami! The decision started… You ain’t no defensive player. You the GOAT in basketball but not defense”
