Terence Crawford on why he spoke out following Ilia Topuria's loss to Justin Gaethje:
"I didn't know who he was until he came out saying he would knock me and Canelo out, and I'm like, 'Who's this guy?'
This is the guy that everybody talked about... Everybody's saying he got this enormous boxing ability, that he can go into boxing and do real well.
So, I'm really tuning in. This is my first time seeing him in a fight. The first impression wasn't the best impression.
For him to come out and say he gonna beat me, one of the best fighters of all time, knocking me out, I think it was a sign of disrespect.
I've been doing boxing since I was 7 years old. There's no way that this guy is gonna come in there and do anything to me that I ain't never seen before. So, seeing him get hit with the jab and the 1-2 the whole fight, I'm like, 'What? What's everybody excited about?'"

🎙️| Zlatan Ibrahimović on Norway Resting Haaland vs. France:
"Norway have a chance to top the group and get easier knockout opponents, yet they're scared before the game. That's not the mentality you need when you play for your country at the World Cup."😬
More thoughts on all of yesterday's moves coming in a piece later today, but here are my Celtics thoughts:
I said if the deal was JB and a pick, Boston should do it. When it became JB ++++, it was right for the Celtics to walk away.
Now, they've got to pick up some pieces from the inevitable fallout with JB. Maybe things can be salvaged, maybe not. They were before. If they can't be, then find a trade that makes sense.
And then you keep moving. The NBA offseason leaves you no time to wallow. Get to whatever the next move is. Y'all love to stay "Trust in Brad", well now is the time to trust him more than ever. There's work to be done and I trust the Celtics front office to do it.
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.
And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.
One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.
Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.
If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.
Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.
Alternatively
There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.
To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.
It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)
Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.
Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up
But
They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks
Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
Honest question. What percentage of Knicks celebrity fans would also show up in Laker gear for Laker celebrity row if the Lakers were in the Finals? I think it’s over 50%
