No gambling scandals.
No domestic violence.
No drug issues.
No DUI headlines.
No locker room drama.

Yet Jaylen Brown is always treated like a villain just bc he’s intelligent and confident in himself. That’s disappointing.

[Ashley Nicole Moss @AshNicoleMoss]

calling intelligence a “disease” is one of the most insane things i’ve ever read.

[🍊Elgin Barrett Eugene Smith lll🍊 @Southside_Gunn]

He went to Cal Berkeley
He works for NASA
He is a college professor
He is an active contributor in his communities

And this is in addition to being a multi-time All Star, Finals MVP and NBA Champion

He IS the smartest person in the room.

Disease is crazy, it’s been like this since day one

[Donovan Mitchell @spidadmitchell]

Critique basketball all you want… but disease is insane… we gotta stop letting people just say whatever… cmon man!

[Dee Holt 🍎🍟🍎❄️ ➏ @D_1andOnly_]

This isn't talked about enough. Man dealt with depression and took his life over some shit he didn't even do. It's really messed up

[Meech @DemetriusHarmon]

I wanted to take the opportunity to share some perspective that may help anyone who deals with alot of opinions that could possibly bring them down about something they were previously excited about.

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

[King Randall, I. @NewEmergingKing]

His coach hurt his feelings because he needed to learn a physical lesson about listening. No pain involved, just hurt feelings.

He came to me, no coddling, no yelling, only teaching. Learn to speak up for yourself and say what’s wrong.

They dragging Anthony Edward for not wanting his kids, they dragging DDG for wanting to see his kid. NIGGAS CANT WIN

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Anthony Mackie talks about what it means to be playing a black Captain America

“I feel like it’s just as important for black kids to see a black Captain America as it is for white kids ... Growing up one of my favorite superheroes was green ... it wasn’t about race or anything ... It was about him being a good guy trying to do the right thing"

“it’s very important for kids of all races to be able to watch something and have someone to look up to no matter what they look like, and see that that package comes with a good human being as opposed to what they’ve been perceived as by everyone else”
