I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
The hardest pill for women to swallow is that average men love us far more unconditionally than we love them. A regular guy making a standard wage will gladly date a woman with zero income, pay for her meals, and support her dreams without ever making her feel inadequate. But the exact second an average-earning man loses his job or hits a financial rough patch, a massive percentage of women instantly lose respect and look for an exit. We demand unconditional loyalty, but only offer conditional love.
« L’Afrique est mon continent et ma maison. Je rentre afin chez moi.»Tel fut le discours de Mohammed VI au sommet de l’UA en 2017, lors de la réintégration du Maroc dans l’UA,avec le soutien du Sénégal,après que sa demande d’intégrer l’UE a été rejetée.
Remerciez le Sénegal !
Quelqu’un a dit « Le regret que vous ressentez à la fin du Ramadan, de ne pas avoir fait plus de bonnes actions, pourrait être le reflet de ce que vous ressentirez dans la tombe en réalisant que vous auriez pu en faire beaucoup plus. »
The atmosphere at the Holy Kaaba as Sheikh Abdurahman Sudais led the Tahajjud prayer. What a serenity and devotion as hundreds of thousands of hearts stood in worship, hoping to witness the mercy and blessings of Laylatul Qadr. 🤲🏽🕋
Don’t let Ramadan pass without performing Salatul Tasbih.
Because it opens the doors of sustenance (blessings and provision).
Here is how to perform it. Thread 🧵
Salatul Tasbih is a voluntary prayer taught by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for
Ya Allah, break the habits that are breaking me. Put barakah in my time. Discipline in my mornings. Khushu in my salah. Replace distraction with dhikr, delay with action, fear with tawakkul. Let this Ramadan rebuild me into someone You’re pleased with. Ameen.
Où est votre rage quand des milliers de talibés se font violer, tripoter et sodomiser dans les daaras par des marabouts et leurs assistants ? (HRW en a documenté des dizaines, et l’ONU en 2024 hurle encore que ça continue : sévices sexuels, coups, chaînes, famine). ces mêmes gamins, plus de 100 000 selon les estimations, sont envoyés mendier du matin au soir sous la menace de bastonnade, affamés, enchaînés s’ils rentrent bredouilles ?
des gamins crèvent dans la rue, dormant sur le bitume, sniffant de la colle, violés par des adultes lambda, pendant que vous faites semblant de prier pour eux le vendredi ?
Les sénégalais sont dans tous les domaines et figurent parmi les meilleurs ma sha allah 🇸🇳
