[SKI @skiistiredasf]

elizabeth eckford turns 85 today. at 15 she walked up to an all-white high school alone on her first day, because her family had no phone and she never heard the other eight students were meeting somewhere else. a mob screamed at her and armed soldiers blocked the door. she got inside later that month. the next year the governor closed every high school in little rock to stop integration, so she never graduated from central. she finished her diploma by mail and night classes, earned a college degree and served five years in the army. in 1999 she received the congressional gold medal. she walked up first and alone, and that door has stayed open for everyone since.

Providence’s Kris Dunn is one of two guards (Josh Hart being the other) to ever:

- win Big East Player of the Year
- win Big East Defensive Player of the Year

In the same season!

The cool thing: Kris Dunn didn’t do it once. He did it twice!

36 days till Big East basketball

@arhooptalk I appreciate the respect and I enjoy your content, but you do not fairly rate anyone who played in this millennia. The commitment to hating modern ball is admirable in a weird way.

@FunBaseballFact Best lineup in baseball history.

[Bill Boffi @BillBoffi]

@cptdankkk Steph, Klay, Bird, Dame, Allen. That is the clear 5. Lots of great shooters right after that, including Price, Korver, Miller, Dale Ellis, Kerr, Redick, Legler, Harden, Duncan Robinson.

@paulieknep Far and away the two best players of the 1970s.
(Happy to say I was at this event in AC.)

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards.

Organized labor has changed our country for the better.

This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

@SamQuinnCBS This is a great question. One I search on all the time. I am even more interested in NBA books published in the 70s. Came across The Short Season and it was a great find. An amazing look at that era written in the present, not researched decades later.
