Best story of the summer.

You had a hell of a run Freddy.

✍️ The 1990s gave us some of the weirdest college football uniforms in history.

Before Nike/Adidas took over, Apex One flew too close to the sun. Here's the backstory.

"Those were just hella atrocious."

Only four times in NBA history has a player led the league in scoring, won the MVP, led the playoffs in scoring, won playoff MVP, and was 1st Team All-Defensive.

Career leaderboard:

Michael Jordan, 4
Everyone else who ever lived, 0

June 16, 1996: Chicago's Dennis Rodman ignites the crowd with this uninterrupted series of 3rd quarter plays in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Rodman had 19 REB/5 AST/3 STL and Michael Jordan had 22 PTS/9 REB/7 AST in the Bulls' 87-75 win over Seattle that clinched the Championship.

The ending of Top Gun: Maverick (2022).

After everything that came before, it sticks the landing perfectly.

The emotion, the payoff, and that final sense of closure just hit exactly right.

🇺🇸 The 50 star American flag flying today was designed in 1958 by 17 year old Robert G. Heft as a high school class project.

He got a B-minus on it.

The teacher claimed the design "lacked originality" and jokingly remarked that if Heft didn't like the grade, he should get the flag accepted in Washington.

Heft called his teacher's bluff. He sent his physical prototype to his congressman, Walter Moeller, who forwarded it to the design pool.

Out of more than 1,500 submissions, President Eisenhower picked his design.

His teacher later changed his grade to an A.

Thank you, Robert! The flag is beautiful! 🇺🇸

On this day in 1998...

Michael Jordan (45 points) gets the steal and buries the step-back jumper to clinch Chicago's third straight NBA title 🏆

Last night, Jalen Brunson tied Jordan's record for the most points scored on the road in an NBA Finals-clinching game!

OTD 28 years ago, Michael Jordan hit his last shot with the Chicago Bulls to cap off “The Last Dance”.

In 1977, while reporting on the launch of Voyager 2 for the BBC series CONNECTIONS, James Burke accidentally captured one of the most perfectly timed shots in television history.
