Karl-Anthony Towns talks about feeling the presence of his late mother and the support he's gotten from his fiancé, Jordyn Woods:
"Her presence is always felt in my life. You always pray you're going to pick the right woman for you and I know I did in my fiancé. I damn sure know now with that bag, that bag held it down. Shout-out to Woods by Jordyn.
It's crazy, when she passed, there was so much turmoil in my life. Funny enough, my fiancé was the one, who was a friend at the time, was the only person I got to call before I had to go out there and say bye to her at the hospital. Me and her have a real bond that goes deeper than just physical features and everything like that. We've got a true friendship that was built from the ground up.
I remember just always asking her if this was going to be my last time seeing her in the physical, let me feel her spirit at all times. In moments of true pressure and a lot of things going on, I always feel this calming come to me and it's always her. It's just great to always feel her arms around me and always to feel her love in my life, in so many different ways.
It's a testament. I haven't felt love from a woman like that until I met my fiancé. It really means a lot that, in a way - without sounding weird - Jackie Jr. was able to be here celebrating this moment with me.
It's amazing. It's truly a humbling feeling when you know you have walked the path. I stayed faithful. In every decision that I was supposed to make, I made the right one. Feels good to be at this moment."
In World War 2, the US Military designed the T13 "Beano" grenade the exact size and weight of a baseball because "any young American man should be able to throw it properly".
Ngl humans shouldn't always stay at home, even if you have nothing to do. Because staying at home for too long makes the brain become dull and leads to overthinking. You'll have more negative emotions. Psychology calls this state mental rumination. Most of the time, people who stay at home long term are not physically lazy - but mentally exhausted. You increasingly do not want to go out or see people. Even going to the supermarket downstairs to buy a bottle of water feels troublesome. You start to get used to being in a daze alone, scrolling through your phone and staying up late. Then you repeatedly struggle with yourself in an empty room. You think you're resting. But in fact, you're quietly draining the vitality of life. Your brain needs stimulation. Movement. Connection. Without it, your thoughts turn inward and spiral. The longer you isolate, the harder it becomes to break the pattern.
One thing about Brooklyn
It’s a family arena, tickets are affordable (especially for NY pricing) and they have good entertainment
That’s why they need a good team, 2021 was a precursor of what could be for the Nets
this is the most accurate take on Nike ive seen today. they went all in on the SNKRS app and direct to consumer under Donahoe and literally pulled their products from Foot Locker, Dicks, DSW and Macys. Foot Locker went from getting 75% of its revenue from Nike to actively diversifying away from them. all that shelf space went straight to Hoka, On, New Balance and Adidas. and those brands didnt just fill the space they built real communities around it. meanwhile an entire generation of kids got tired of taking Ls on the SNKRS app and just went and bought a pair of New Balance 550s or Adidas Sambas instead. Nike flooded the market with the same Dunks AF1s and Jordan 1s for years, quality went down with cheaper materials and smaller air bubbles, and consumers noticed. now theyre trying to crawl back to wholesale but the damage is done. direct to consumer sales fell 8% last quarter because even that strategy stopped working. you cant abandon your customers for a decade and then expect them to come running back when you finally decide you need them again
