Robert Horry on Wemby:
“I’m not saying he’s not great, he’s a great defensive player, but they trying to make him the be all now. Like he is God’s gift to basketball… Give him time. Let him mature… Don’t give it to him. Let him take it.”

It’s taken me two full days to respond to all my texts. I hadn’t been on social media until today and I’m overwhelmed by all the messages here too. So much love.
So I can’t help but to be filled completely with gratitude…
My story has been nothing short of remarkable and I am truly blessed to have had such an illustrious, accolade-laden and, most importantly, fun-filled career. I made my childhood dream become the most wonderful reality.
Throughout this journey, I’m so thankful to have been surrounded by great friends and to have built so many unbreakable connections with people that I’m very proud to call my family.
Most people go through life without ever experiencing a love like I have for Woods and E. That bond alone would have made this whole experience worth it.
There are far too many people to mention by name here, but to everyone who has ever supported me, guided me, helped me, taught me, cheered for me, praised me, stood up for me, and even rooted against me: Thank you. I appreciate you more than words can say.
My main mission has always been a simple one: To provide a comfortable life filled with heartwarming memories for my family. And, largely in part to all of you, I can proudly say that I have achieved that goal and more.
This wasn’t supposed to be a novel, so let me wind it down with some advice:
Do your best to live a life without regrets, control what you can control, always give it your all, and fight hard for what you believe in.
Do not ever compromise or accept less than your due when it comes to your worth.
Find the courage to believe in yourself and fearlessly pursue your goals and dreams, because anything is possible.
The kid that was too small, short, skinny, and scrawny was never supposed to make it in this land of giants…yet here we are.
And so…
…as the sun sets on one chapter, so too must it rise in another. Tomorrow is indeed…a New Day. ☀️
Finesse2tymes weighs in on the Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane situation and says that he believes a security guard for Gucci Mane, who is reportedly a retired police officer, may be cooperating against Pooh Shiesty.
Stephen A. Smith says Dwyane Wade is “next level” when comparing him to James Harden:
“D-Wade is next level. I’m going to say this on national television — D-Wade my brotha I’m getting sick and tired of you diminishing who the hell you are, you ain’t no 25th floor, you the 30th floor — that’s a 3x champion…his selflessness, his leadership, his commitment to winning, his willingness to sacrifice so wins could take place…Dwyane Wade has been a man amongst boys on many occasions in his career…”

As I have gotten older, I’ve changed how I view athletes. Westbrook was someone who frustrated me for years. Then, I came to realize, he’s never cheated the game for one second. He plays as hard as anyone ever has. He’s never once gotten in trouble off the court. He seems the be great husband and father. And, you hear all types of stories about him helping in the community.
I’m a big Westbrook fan now.
Russell Westbrook is reportedly the "kindest teammate" behind the scenes:
- Left an $8k tip for housekeepers in the NBA Bubble
- Once gave Clint Capela a luxury bracelet right off his wrist because Capela liked it
- Sends Jordans and tracksuits to EVERY team staffer every year
One of the most misunderstood players ever.

Deestroying got emotional and broke down in tears after almost quitting his workout at the Diamond Gym until Unc motivated him to keep pushing for his pregnant wife who’s having their child soon ❤️🙌
“If you quit in the gym, how would you feel if your lady quit during Labor?”
Kevin Garnett tells it like it is. Wade taught LeBron how to approach the game in order to win.
