“I might have been given a bad break. But I’ve got an awful lot to live for.”
87 years after Lou Gehrig became the face of ALS, there is still no cure.
Today on #LouGehrigDay, we continue our mission to raise awareness of ALS, support the need for research and care, remember those who bravely fought, and recognize those who continue to battle.
Not trying to come off like your freshman home room teacher who had motivational posters on the wall and not trying to make too much of a single moment but…
There’s a life lesson to what happened last night. A bunch of kids decided they were going to have fun and uniquely be themselves. It turns into hundreds of people following along, filling up four sections an an MLB stadium, getting national attention, going viral on social media, MLB players and a manager taking note and talking about it and coverage of it all over in local TV, Radio and Print.
It all starts organically with some kids deciding to have fun doing something a little different. There can be power in that.
whoever said james harden has swapped teams every year so he can finally be the second option only to end up the first option against his will again deserves an award
No player in NBA history gets more shit for being on "super teams" than LeBron does, and yet, no player in NBA history has been asked to beat far superior opponents more often than LeBron has.
That's funny to me.
If you think nostalgia doesn’t exist in the NBA just remember that we glorify Michael Jordan having the flu in the playoffs, but we’ll forget very quickly that Joel Embiid is out there gutting it out with an open wound after just being in the hospital, and Cade is struggling to breathe at his full capacity after a recently collapsed lung. This generation is “soft” though, I guess…
Devin Booker WENT OFF in his postgame interview about the officiating in tonight’s game vs OKC:
"It's definitely something that has to be looked into. I heard Caruso tell them to call the tech and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James [Williams] was terrible tonight, through and through. It's bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of the sport. People are going to start viewing this as the WWE if they're not held responsible."
"I know I haven't won a championship in this league but I have been in it for 11 years now, so to get to this point to be treated like that, for me to even be saying something out loud... It's bad.
"It's my first time in 11 years but it's needed. Whatever, I get fined for it, everybody can pull the clips and see where the frustration comes from."
You can flash MJs rings and scoring titles all you want. But nothing will ever change the fact that:
Against impossible odds you have no chance with Michael. Even if they’re just difficult odds. You really don’t have much of a chance.
With LeBron - even if it’s all role players against multiple offensive and defensive stars - even if he’s the oldest NBA player in terms of minutes - even if he’s been playing a different role for weeks … you have a chance.
Even if there’s no chance. With LeBron there’s always a chance.
That’s why no amount of 90s accolades or expansion titles will ever compare to this man. 👑 🐐
