another championship.

I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.  

Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!

Seven years.

It’s hard to put into words what this city has meant to me.

When Miami drafted a 19-year-old kid out of Kentucky, they believed in me before I’d proven anything. Together, we experienced just about everything this game has to offer.

Two trips to the Finals. Deep playoff runs. Becoming an All-Star. The highest highs, the toughest moments, and every lesson in between.

Through every challenge, every expectation, every rumor, and every setback, I always believed in one thing: put your head down, go to work, and represent the name on the front of the jersey the right way. Every time I stepped on the floor, my goal was to help bring another championship to Miami.

This city gave me more than a basketball career.

It gave me a place to grow up.

I became a man here. I became a father here. I built lifelong relationships here.

Miami became home.

To Spo, Pat, Micky, the entire organization, my teammates, the coaches, trainers, equipment staff, arena staff, and everyone who poured into me over the last seven years—thank you. Thank you for believing in me, pushing me, challenging me, and helping shape the player and person I’ve become.

And to the fans…

Thank you for riding with me.

Through every big shot, every playoff run, every injury, every rumor, and every season—you showed me love I’ll never forget. Whether you cheered for me in the arena, wore my jersey, or simply believed in me, I felt it. I’ll always be grateful for that support.

As excited as I am for this next chapter back home in Milwaukee, a part of me will always belong to Miami.

Miami didn’t just shape my career.

It shaped my life.

Thank you for everything.

Been living in New York City for around five years now.

Yes, it’s expensive, taxes are high, and there are some interesting characters walking around. Those are some of the costs.

Here’s what we get:

Access to the best restaurants in America, no matter what type of food you’re in the mood for.

Everything our family needs is just a short walk away.

You constantly get to see friends in person, as they’re always passing through.

Some of the best public and private schools in America.

The network you build here, just by going about your day-to-day life, is incredible. You run into some of the most interesting people doing the most amazing things at the highest level.

Access to the best doctors in the world.

The career opportunities here are immense, no matter what you do.

Central Park – my go-to spot – never gets old.

If you’re a shopper, there’s nowhere better in America.

If you’re an entrepreneur, this city forces you to think bigger on a daily basis.

Broadway, sports, concerts, comedy – the highest level of entertainment, right in your backyard.

The subway. Yes, the subway – and yes, millions of normal people take it every day – gets you around this place like a time machine.

It’s a wonderful place to raise kids. Every kids' activity you can think of is just blocks away. Our son loves the Natural History Museum, and endless playdates are available either in our building or within a three-minute walk.

Maybe all those folks who can afford to live anywhere in the world but choose to raise their families here aren’t so crazy after all.

Even in his concession speech, Thomas Massie had to take a shot at Israel/Jews

People wonder why antisemitism is exploding in America, while politicians casually use Jewish associations as political punchlines and smears. It’s vile.

Locked in. Snatches the hat without breaking stride. Didn’t give a shit about the posing mirror. Reloaded his arms like Henry Cavill in Mission Impossible

Pressure makes diamonds. It’s the reason you coach or play at Michigan. If we didn’t want the bright lights we’d go to Michigan State or Ohio. Everybody knows what they sign up for when they choose the block M. It’s always championship or bust. #goblue

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

As Deni Avdija made history as the first Israeli to compete in the NBA All-Star Game, Spike Lee showed up draped in performative politics including a keffiyeh-patterned sweater vest and a man-bag plastered with Palestinian flags.

This isn’t a one-off. Lee has a long record of pushing ugly tropes about Jews in Hollywood, amplifying antisemitic 9/11 conspiracy theories, and backing organizations that have faced serious scrutiny over terror links.

Instead of celebrating a barrier-breaking athlete, he chose to grandstand.

Pathetic.

This is the man behind Your favorite celebrity’s Brand Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, Shaquille O’Neal..

Meet Jamie Salter

He Built Authentic Brands Group, a brand empire generating over $38 billion in annual retail sales.

Born in 1963 in Toronto, Canada, Salter grew up in a close-knit Jewish community, where he absorbed core values of resilience and community.

• In his early career, he bought a snowboard business for $35,000 and flipped it for $5 million four years later.

• He co-founded Ride Snowboards in 1992, taking it public on Nasdaq in 1994 the first snowboard company to do so before stepping down as CEO in 1996.

He built deep expertise in licensing, brand turnarounds, and strategic deals, including roles at GSI Commerce and as CEO of Hilco Consumer Capital, where he mastered acquiring and revitalizing distressed or undervalued assets.

In 2010, Salter founded Authentic Brands Group (ABG) in New York City, starting with his own capital and a bold vision to acquire, manage, and license iconic intellectual property through smart partnerships.

Under his leadership as Founder, Chairman, and CEO:

• ABG assembled a portfolio of over 50 brands, including Reebok (acquired from Adidas in 2022 for $2.4 billion), Champion, Brooks Brothers, Forever 21, Nautica, Juicy Couture, Volcom, and more.

• It also controls the IP of cultural legends like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, Shaquille O’Neal, David Beckham, and even Sports Illustrated.

• The company has executed massive
investments over $35 billion focusing on heritage brands with untapped global potential, often rescued from decline or bankruptcy and then scaled through licensing to top-tier partners.

• ABG ranks as the #2 consumer licensing company worldwide (behind only Disney), with retail sales exploding to $38+ billion annually, including blockbuster revivals like Reebok (projected to triple its business post-acquisition).

A self-made Canadian Billionaire Salter remains deeply connected to his heritage. He actively supports Jewish causes, focused on education, community building, and preserving Jewish history using success as a platform for tikkun Olam

From Toronto roots to revitalizing global icons, Jamie Salter’s journey is a powerful example of Jewish entrepreneurial success.

From the son of a Holocaust survivor in Stamford, Connecticut

To building a $100 billion real estate empire and donating millions to charity

This is the story of Barry Sternlicht, the man who built Starwood

Born in 1960 to Jewish parents in New York City,
Barry grew up in Stamford, Connecticut, in a modest family shaped by resilience.

His father, Maurycy, a Polish Jewish Holocaust survivor who fought with partisans and endured unimaginable horrors, worked as a plant manager.

His mother, Harriet, was a biology teacher and stockbroker who introduced him to finance.

The first in his family to attend Ivy League schools, he graduated from Brown University on his own merits and earned an MBA from Harvard Business School.

After a stint as a Wall Street trader and a layoff during the early 1990s recession at JMB Realty, he co-founded Starwood Capital Group in 1991 with just $20 million raised from investors.

Spotting opportunity in distressed assets, he acquired Westin Hotels & Resorts in 1994, then launched Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide in 1995 as its Chairman and CEO.

Under his vision, he revolutionized hospitality with brands like W Hotels, the iconic Westin Heavenly Bed, and the $13.3 billion acquisition of Sheraton growing it into a global powerhouse with thousands of properties before its sale.

Today, Starwood Capital Group manages over $100 billion in assets, spanning real estate, hotels, energy, and more, making it a titan in alternative investments.

Sternlicht’s net worth has soared to over $4 billion as a self-made innovator.

His greatest legacy? Profound Jewish pride and committed tzedakah.

Through the Barry and Mimi Sternlicht Foundation and Sternlicht Family Foundation, he has donated millions to causes like education reform, juvenile diabetes research via JDRF, environmental efforts, and poverty alleviation.

Deeply tied to his heritage, he supports Birthright Israel, the Anti-Defamation League, United Jewish Appeal, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council.

After the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, he launched Facts for Peace, raising over $30 million to combat antisemitism, educate on terrorism, and aid Israel’s recovery reflecting his father’s survival and a call to action against hatred.

From the shadow of the Holocaust to billionaire architect of a hospitality and real estate empire who gives back to Jewish life and beyond, Barry Sternlicht’s journey embodies perseverance, visionary entrepreneurship, Jewish values, and impactful generosity.

My goodness, a UM offense with Mensah; a 10-WR deep room (led by 2 who were top 10 in country in WR yards); a loaded RB room (Fletcher, Brown, Pringle, Lyle etc); Lofton and Gilbert at TE; should be exceptional. Could use 1 more tackle to put opposite 5-star Cantwell. Mario & Co. have made this a well-oiled, talent producing machine.

🚨BREAKING: After being let out of his NIL contract, Duke QB Darian Mensah is transferring to Miami, his agent tells @PeteNokos_

Mensah has accounted for 6,800 yards and 58 TDs in two seasons.

Miami might be gearing up for another championship push in 2026🔥🙌

One of my favorite memories as a head coach was beating Duke, the #1 team in the country 90-63. 13 years ago today.
