Look how many big trades and free agent signings my former Lakers coach and one of my best friend’s, Pat Riley has pulled off - LeBron James, Shaq, Jimmy Butler, Alonzo Mourning, Ray Allen, and now Giannis Antetokounmpo. And of course he drafted the legendary Dwyane Wade! It’s not even a question, he’s one of the best executives in NBA history!
An extraordinary 24 hours in South Florida. Brady Tkachuk traded to the Florida Panthers and Giannis Antetokounmpo traded to the Miami Heat. Something special is brewing down south 👀🔥
OG Anunoby lost his mom when he was just a baby and lost his dad when he was only 18.
Maybe it’s because I’ve lost my mom young myself, but I truly believe that when you lose a parent that young, they never really leave you. They stay with you. They carry you through life in ways you can’t always explain.
Seeing him make that game-winning shot last night got me emotional. In those final seconds, I couldn’t help but think his mom and dad were right there with him.
Sports are so much bigger than wins and losses. They’re about resilience, heartbreak, hope, and moments that remind us why we keep going.
