In the final months of his life, Jason Arday was subject to a relentless onslaught of attacks and abuse.
Jason was a human being with friends and family - but he was turned into a pawn for vicious culture wars by a cruel media industry motivated by racism and clicks.
The lessons are never learned. When will the British media face accountability for its behaviour?
Jason was much loved by those around him. May he rest in peace.
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.
@theoceanblooms Always respected how committed he was for these. Lily James did them for a bit after this and she did it like the lines were getting directly fed to her on an earpiece
“Mark my words, Jesse Lingard” mused Crooks. “during MY career, the only ‘milly rock’ I was concerned with was young Millicent Rockworth, a striking debutante to whom I was pitching woo. The only ‘fancy footwork’ I was working on was dancing the jitterbug at our local speakeasy”

From Jia Zhangke: “Dear Tony, you left before I could say ‘thank you’ or ‘I’m sorry’... You were a free spirit in the realm of cinema, yet back in 1999, you told me ‘You should always stay and work in your own country.’ I am in Yantai now, gazing at a sea blurred before my eyes.”
