Bill Simmons describes hearing about the Jaylen Brown trade from his wife picking him up from a colonoscopy:
“I think I’m dead. The anesthesia killed me. Are there more first round picks?
When this trade happened I had a camera in my ass, and I had Paul George rammed up my ass”
Chris Johnson’s ALS diagnosis stopped me in my tracks. Professional athletes move so beautifully, your mind never lets them slow down or stop. Then real life reminds you they do, we all do. I’m thinking about CJ2K and his family tonight.
Josh Hart:
“I’m a good basketball player, and I can help a team win. But if I’m the #1 option on that team, or #2 option on that team? Not a great team. Like, #4? Cool, we’re a good team….#2? Get the lottery numbers ready, baby.” 😅

Switching between Minnesota/San Antonio and Atlanta/Dallas. I miss the old days when I could just change the channel instead of having to toggle between multiple apps.
The snake in Genesis didn't come hissing. It came asking questions. Looking concerned. Sounding reasonable. Discernment is learning to hear the agenda underneath the question.
I’m an older millennial. We had a pretty great run.
We grew up with actual childhoods before everything moved online, but we still got the internet early enough to understand it before it took over everything. We had landlines, AIM, mall culture, good music, and just enough technology to make life fun without making it weird.
Old enough to remember life before smartphones. Young enough to adapt to all of it.
That was a sweet spot.
Kobe Bryant hasn’t spoken in six years. He can’t defend himself. He can’t fire back. And maybe that’s why they picked now to talk.
Jeremy Lin and Dwight Howard... Two guys who couldn’t survive one season next to Kobe. Sitting on a podcast. Telling you about leadership.
