1980 was DIFFERENT 🔥

A teenage Michael Jordan, @CoachEwing33, Chris Mullin, @CoachCalArk.

Before Hall of Fame speeches.
Before Olympic gold medals.
Before national championships.

[Today in History @TodayinHistory]

Today we remember D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy.

With 160,000 troops, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.

[The Iceman @the_iceman64]

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

Two simple Truths:

Jesus Christ died for our sins.

America’s fallen died for our freedom.

May we live worthy.

I have 4 four boys — 25-25-23-19.

Today I’m thinking about the young men and women their age who gave everything for this country.

Puts it all in perspective.

Grateful. 🇺🇸

[MLFootball @MLFootball]

PAINFUL: The #Vikings have made 32 playoff appearances and still have never won a Super Bowl.

Minnesota has reached 4 Super Bowls, losing to the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV, the Dolphins in Super Bowl VIII, the Steelers in Super Bowl IX, and the Raiders in Super Bowl XI.

They also went 15-1 in 1998 before losing in the Championship Game.

Brutal.

[James Purchin @JamesPurchin]

I watched AAU basketball all weekend.

I left with bad news for most players:

Too many are building highlight reels before they’re building winning habits.

The game ends. They lose. And before they’ve watched film or owned what needs to change…

The post is already up.

The highlight clip.
The posed photo.

Everyone wants exposure.

But exposure doesn’t fix bad shot selection.
It doesn’t make you defend.
It doesn’t teach you how to impact winning.

The camera should document the work.
It shouldn’t become the reason for the work.

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

Greg Maddux won 4 straight Cy Young awards. During that time, he pitched more complete games (37) than he allowed HRs (33)

Booths for families.

[The NBA Realist @nbarealist23]

Hold my beer.... MJ did this in 10 FEWER FULL SEASONS:

- More MVPs
- More Finals MVPs
- More Defensive Player of the Year Awards
- More All-Defense Selections
- More Scoring Titles
- More Steals Titles
- Better Per-Game Stats (Reg & Playoffs)
- More times leading the League in Advanced Metrics
- More times making both All-NBA and All-Defense in the same Season
- Better Game Winning/Tying Shot Clutch Metrics
- Faced better overall playoff competition (Teams with a higher avg Win Total, Net Rating, SRS)
- Best player on the greatest dynasty of the modern era
- Best combined reg season & payoff record (87-10)
- Undefeated (24-0) when having home court advantage
- 24-1 in the playoffs as a favorite

There is no other example in sports where the player with inferior Rings, MVPs, FMVPs, per-game stats is somehow considered the "GOAT". Not one.

Michael Jordan peaked higher, was more individually dominant, led more dominant teams, and on a per-game basis, was simply better during an era where the rules were designed to undermine Wing players.

Lebron James, while great, simply played longer and accumulated more total stats and accolades

Don't be bamboozled by the Twitter casuals on this app.
