Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett reveals that he was NOT happy with the Celtics trading Jaylen Brown to the 76ers and says they will REGRET breaking up the former best duo in the league, Jayson Tatum & JB 😮👀
“I didn’t think there was a cause for him to be moved. The 76ers got better… ‘We gonna see y’all 4 times a year.’ To trade somebody in conference?… I wanted Jaylen Brown to retire as a Celtic.”
A loving son, brother, and promising college athlete with dreams of playing at the next level is now gone, leaving his parents and younger siblings with heartbreaking questions no family should have to ask. Nolan Xavier Wells' family deserves transparency. We will be holding a press conference tomorrow to demand a full, transparent, and urgent investigation.
In a candid conversation Kenny Smith gave his former backcourt partner Vernon Maxwell his flowers for his role in the Rockets championship runs, he also shared how badly he felt about failing to stop “Mad Max” from abruptly leaving the team in the middle of the 1995 playoffs
Jaylen Brown says he used the NBA Players Association instead of hiring an agent for the NBA Draft because they're paid to help players
“When I entered the draft, I didn't have an agent. I'm probably the highest picked selected ever that didn't enter with an agent. When I was evaluating, I went through the whole process and sat with a bunch of people, and what they was offering I ain't really need. It was kind of already slotted, so I leaned on the union a lot more”
“A lot of the agents came and was like, ‘Yeah, we'll move you to L.A. We'll get you a trainer, put some money in your pocket,’ and I was like, ‘For what? Do I gotta give the money back?’ They was like, ‘Nah, but standard agent fee is 4%.’ I'm starting to do the math, and a house, car, and all that, whatever he was offering, is a lot less than what 4% would have been”
“Long story short, the math wasn't mathing for me. I ended up being the third pick. I think because I came in like that, a lot of people, I think it was the agents, they tried to slander my name a little bit, put it in the media that he's too this, he's too that. Ended up backfiring. It all worked out in the end”
“With the union, we pay dues. All the players in the NBA pay dues. We all pay like $10,000 out of our salary that goes to hiring lawyers, hiring staff, CEO, everything that you need to lead a company that works for us. So all of that is our resources that we all pay for, that we agree to. Once I learned that, I just started using it”
“I'm talking about you can get private investigations done. They give referrals for financial advisors. All type of stuff. Foundation wise, health insurance, whatever you need. They have a liaison that's paid to make sure that you get it done. So I put it on their desk like, ‘I need you to get this done.’ And they do because that's their job”
The Jordan 3 didn’t just change the sneaker game—it saved the @Jumpman brand.
When Michael Jordan asked @howardhwhite what he thought of Tinker Hatfield’s first design, H’s brutally honest answer nearly started a fight. So, “H” hopped on the phone with Hatfield, & it sparked a relationship that changed history.
From one uncomfortable conversation came “The Jumpman.”
@Thepivot x “H” 🤝🏾

“I call MJ. I say, ‘Black, I just saw you’… Tiger Woods”
Howard “H” White remembers meeting Tiger Woods for the first time. Even then, you could see the fire instilled by his father, a Green Beret.
@HowardHWhite has witnessed greatness at every turn, but only one person made him call Michael Jordan after seeing his mirror image. That man went on to become the greatest golfer of all time. 🐐

Nichols: It’s almost like we have a relative in the room, and there’s something deeply wrong with him. And we’ve all agreed not to talk about it. But there is something deeply wrong with him.
His friends know it, his critics know it. His staff, I’m sure, knows it. The world knows it. World leaders know it. And most importantly, our enemies know it, which is why they don’t take him seriously.
Nobody hangs on his words. They kind of do, but mostly out of freakish curiosity to see what kind of wild thing he’s going to say next, not because his words have any inherent meaning or reflect policy.
You know, I spent years teaching students that when the president speaks, it’s policy, and you must pay attention when the president speaks because nobody can contradict him.
Now, you know, are we really cutting off all trade with Spain? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe not. It might have just been a stray electron, you know, careening around inside his brainpan. Who knows?
But this is really dangerous because in the middle of all this stuff—and we can laugh about, you know, the Islamic Republic of Japan and all of that—but he made several statements about an ongoing war that the United States is losing. And no one’s even trying to pretend that they can make any sense of it.
And I’ll just add one last thing that you just brought up.
If this were any other president, this would be a national crisis. I mean, Joe Biden got somebody’s name wrong, and it was headlines. The president gets all kinds of things wrong, completely, you know, is out to lunch at an important NATO summit, and, you know, it’s Wednesday.
ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.
According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.
It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.
His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.
DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.
We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.
Everyone should be outraged.

Part 2: Austin Rivers CRASHES OUT after Theo’s co-host (that’s never played professional sports) continues to disrespect Austin NBA career. It gets HEATED! 🔥
“You get there with your little f*ckin laptop & point holes through someone’s career not knowing the time, energy, pressure it took!”
“N*qqas put in a LIFETIME of work, I lived & breathed in the gym!”
“You talking bout LUCK? I’m UNLUCKY! You better hope the money I would’ve made with NIL !” —Austin on being the most popular player from high school to college.
“I would’ve made $20,000,000 at Duke!”
“Just cause I didn’t come from the Hood, doesn’t mean i didn’t get it from the Mud!”
The co-host: You’re lucky your dad believed in you, or they would’ve sent you to China” (to play basketball overseas) 🤯
Austin responds: “No, THATS YOU!” -
on the co-host actually being of Chinese descent 😳
“He talking about about HIS PEOPLE, I ain’t got nothing to do with that” 🇨🇳
Austin then tells Raymond Felton (co-host of show) to “YANK that g*damn Mic from his co-host 😂
🎥: @ToTheBaha
My outlook: Austin Rivers was actually skilled which is why he made it to the NBA. He gets a lot of unwarranted hate for no reason. He was actually a successful roll player in the league & stepped up when the team needed him, even in the playoffs.
So when a person that’s never played professional basketball tells you, that you had special privileges in the nba & got a big contract because of “your dad” is a whole new level of disrespect that needed to be checked.
