When MICHAEL JORDAN 🐐 touches down in Louisville for Derby weekend, the entire city feels it.

On the latest episode of The Player’s Perspective: Uncensored with Larry O’Bannon, Joey Wagner shares a story from Derby night in 2003… MJ makes the call, pulls up, and shuts the club down, moving with an aura only he carries.

At one point, Jordan asks about lighting a cigar, even though the Metro Louisville smoking ordinance had just gone into effect that year.

Joey’s response? We’ll take care of the fine.

That’s the kind of presence that doesn’t need permission.

Full episode out now on YouTube and all podcast platforms.

BREAKING: Jayden Bailey, a 17-year-old student athlete at Lebanon High School, died after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, several years ago.

Bailey, a 6-foot-6 junior power forward, was diagnosed with the type of bone cancer in June 2022. His left arm was amputated as a result of the cancer in August 2025. After doctors thought he was cancer-free, the disease spread to his stomach in October 2025.

Still, he kept playing basketball and attending classes while inspiring those not only at Lebanon High, but the Tennessee high school basketball community. Bailey was honored by the Lebanon City Council days prior to his death with a proclamation of “Jayden Bailey Day.”

He was eventually forced to stop playing and going to school because his body was breaking down, his basketball coach, Jim McDowell said.

R.I.P. Jayden Bailey ❤️🙏

#RestInPower to Rev. Jesse Jackson. Today, we honor a giant whose voice, courage, and love for our people shaped generations. Reverend Jesse Jackson was not only a civil rights icon—he was family to the NAACP.

His legacy sits at the heart of our work and at the center of this nation’s fight for justice. We carry his light forward. https://t.co/4BSEsITjD3

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

I put these two clips of Daddy together because I want to share him saying “I’m tired of marching,” then, after continuing the multifaceted work of nonviolence, saying “I’ve been to the mountaintop.”

The 2nd clip is from the speech he gave the night before he was assassinated.

Facts 💯

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)…

Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights.

It’s about people.

It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for.

Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.

It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages.

Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.

And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.

It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.

Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.

And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.

It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in.

Over conversations you need to have.

Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.

It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.

The scoreboard, not the hours.

The result, not the relationships.

And yet, you show up again.

You plan. You teach. You model. You care.

As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:

What you do matters.

Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when it’s hard.

Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.

That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.

As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing.

🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family. https://t.co/km7RXnDKcW

[Mr. Spock 🖖 (Commentary) @SpockResists]

It is so blatant now.

Yet they still don’t get it.

That even their own racism was created for them by the wealthy to keep them poor.

Will they ever get it?
