If we all adopt a piece of Kobe Bryant’s mentality, his legacy will live on forever. Work hard to achieve your dreams and don’t let anyone EVER tell you you can’t accomplish something. Let’s all achieve greatness. #MambaMentalityForever

“When I played for Sweden, I wasn’t seen as a typical Swede. I had a big nose and brown eyes, while the stereotype was blonde hair and blue eyes. I didn’t feel accepted at first, so I knew I had to prove I was twice as good as everyone else.”

— Zlatan Ibrahimović

Johnny Knoxville reveals the real reason he started Jackass

“The short answer is my then girlfriend got pregnant and I had a daughter on the way, and I moved to LA to act but I wasn’t doing anything, I was drinking a lot, and then I’m like oh shit, I have to support a daughter, I need to do something quick”

“So I was living next door to Antoine Fuqua in this duplex, the director, and he set me up with a casting director who got me a commercial agent, my friend John Linson set me up with writing articles for this magazine cause he knew I wanted to write, and one of the articles turned into me testing self-defense equipment on myself”

“A lot of different magazines wanted the article but they didn’t want anything to do with it because I was gonna shoot myself in the chest with a bulletproof vest as the last thing, stun gun, taser gun, pepper spray, and Jeff Tremaine who now directs Jackass, he was the editor of Big Brother magazine, a skateboarding magazine owned by Larry Flint, and he goes you can write it for us and I’ll help you buy a couple of the things”

“I took the money my mom gave me for Christmas and bought the cheapest bulletproof vest they had, it was either no stun gun or taser gun, so Jeff says why don’t you film that article that you’re writing, we’ll put it in our skateboard video, and it kind of snowballed from there”

@ThisIsUD @Money23Green This boxing match is gonna go crazy in a couple of years

[Udonis Haslem @ThisIsUD]

@Money23Green I see some things just don’t change. lol. You was on sucka shit four years ago when you swung on Jordan Poole and you on sucka shit now. I usually don’t engage but since you went so far left to get my attention here it is!!!

If you think your big 32 year old, 3 or 4 rings at the time having ass swinging on a 23 year old Jordan Poole at the time is the same then you are even more delusional that I thought.

First of all Bam is 28. Tyler is 26. Neither one of them got it all figured out yet. Maybe I was giving you too much credit at the time cause I thought you did so that’s why I commented. 2nd, anyone who knows bam knows he’s strong as baby bear. If he would’ve unloaded on Tyler 100% it’s over. You fired off on that young boy like it was a club punch and you never met him before in your life. 3rd yeah I did go at Jimmy. You damn right. The shit you pull in golden state and that shit he pulled in Chicago talking crazy to Hoiberg and disrespecting teammates in practice in Minnesota ain’t gon fly in the 305. So yeah. I checked his ass.

Call it heat culture or what ever you want but before I let one player disrespect Spo in front of the squad, cut his legs out and disrupt what 15 other guys tryin to get accomplished, I’ll kick his ass. I owe that to ZO and Tim and Glen and the rest of my OGs.

Ion really vibe you and I think you know that so unless it’s me on prime talking hoops I won’t mention you at all. You brought me into this and I am retired and out the way. I suggest you keep it pushing cause I ain’t giving out no more hall passes bra!

That one kid he taps on the shoulder is an absolute pro. Immediately turns with the handshake before even registering who it is, smile on his face ready to go, then recognizes Haaland and matches his enthusiasm. Take notes.

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.

I just watched Cabo Verde go toe to toe with Jesus himself and our guys shit down their pants at home vs Belgium?

I still cant wrap my head around this

[Mikey O’ver @MikeyOver1]

Tim Ream is 38 years old and was involved in all three of Belgiums goals

How is there not a single American that plays any sort of soccer that is a better CB than him

And how is he still on the field
