@Barneybalboa @iamrobothead Agree. I thought “The Last Jedi” meant force users had learned from the past and wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes, or even call themselves Jedi anymore. That’s why the force-sensitive kid at the end made sense. Then the next movie just dropped it.

@LiquidHbox Only tournament I’ve ever entered despite being a huge fan for years. It was a good time though! Took a game off someone and went 0-2 😅

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@UniverseEZ @HSF__Music @LiquidHbox Ha, I get what you’re saying though. Miss the early days like that one Frostbite where he was crushing everyone.

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@UniverseEZ @HSF__Music @LiquidHbox Top 8 at Genesis a month ago but ok.

@Raindropsmedia1 So Margo had Sydney when she was 7???

@ThePOTSPostman @LukeDashjr Based off your profile, you may have some protections under intermittent FMLA or potentially some sort of accommodation through ADA. There is a formal process for both, but likely worth it to avoid a write up if you’re ill and being asked to work more than your doc recommends.

@CONEY @alecrobbins I’ve seen you consistently praise Bioshock and consistently criticize Infinite. Just curious how you felt 2 measured up?

@LAGr_VXVX @PracticalTAS The new owner assumes all liabilities when purchasing. That’s what due diligence is for. In this situation I’m assuming there was very little. Creators may not get the entire contract in the end, but they will be on the list of creditors at bankruptcy to get something.

@_Shari_Nya @AzazelSkye Right. I mean Umebura 12 was a P tier and it had less than 1,000. Scale is just different now.

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@_Shari_Nya @AzazelSkye 9th and 13th at Supermajors definitely made sense for top 50. Smash Con had over 2,700 entrants. Tons of S+ have 1,000 or less nowadays.

@bluerosetori @SimuLiu @EricMilzarski @TempoAxe Seriously, let’s get a training session on the stream.

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@automaticnba @HackneyManLee Has this ever come up before and he’s spoken about it? 35% rookie year average vs a career 28% afterwards is wild. Something had to change drastically.

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@obmcbob @ShinyMark1 Is that what that is???

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@ZainNaghmi Loved getting to watch this.

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@AskPerplexity @JpharmsC @barstoolsports @grok looks like it’s a base set version. How much then?

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@nateland_ent Click is an incredible movie.

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@alibaba_mk @Kopter__ God I miss the good ole days with PT doing work every tournament.

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@El3vyn @db9mike @wynzmanz Check KD’s Twitter followers and net worth and compare it to Speed.

[Nick Gordon @NickGordon007]

@grok @yakkonchain @elonmusk Let’s say I want to have an equivalent amount of money to retire on in 2055 as 3 million dollars is today. I have 350,000 in retirement accounts and can expect to grow at the typical rate of the S&P 500 the last 30 years. How much is that and how much do I need to save each year?

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.
