OG: "Remember in Game 4 when you took that shot in the end and you missed it?"

Jalen: "Yeah"

OG: "Remember what happened after?"

Jalen: "Yeah. You tipped it in"

OG: "Oh yeah. That was awesome"

From @TheAthletic: In the wake of Jason Collins’ death earlier this week, Charles Barkley lamented how little he thinks societal acceptance has changed since Collins came out as the first openly gay player in the NBA more than a decade ago.

saying this on espn during the nba playoffs is honestly just an enormous deal, and deserves all the credit in the world. not hyperbole to say it could be life saving for someone

[Sports Illustrated @SInow]

In 2013, Jason Collins stepped forward with extraordinary courage.

His story became a landmark moment not only for the NBA, but for sports culture everywhere ❤️

Italy manager Francisco Cervelli on the impact HOF manager Joe Torre made on him with the Yankees, having his WBC players wear suits to the games:
‘He taught me so much: how to be elegant, respectful and be a Yankee. So that's what I'm trying to do here in Italy. Italy, it's culture, it's elegance, it's art. So my guys, they dress well every day. They respect this. This is the highest level in the world. So why not create a tradition of, like, a Joe Torre tradition, that is respect this game and be a professional inside and outside the field.’’

@mcuban @Fwd_Party @jamestalarico I think this is consistent with the growing and immmense popularity of Heated Rivalry. The show and its social media content consist of such positive, joyful messaging that it is often described as a dopamine hit and everyone goes back for more. Folks are craving positivity.
