Before one of the most iconic shots in NBA history, Michael Jordan saw it before he lived it.
After missing two crucial free throws in Game 4 of the 1989 playoffs, Jordan spent 45 minutes staring at a blank TV. When Howard “H” White asked what he was doing, Jordan replied, “Visualizing the game before the game.”
Preparation. Belief. Then history.

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.
His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.
Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

6-year-old boy who lost arms in pit bull attack in Detroit hopes Kendrick Lamar hears his wish 🥹
Six-year-old Romell Frazier Jr. is back home after a brutal dog attack in March left him with life-altering injuries, including the amputation of both arms.
Romell was attacked by two pit bulls, suffering severe trauma. His mother, Preshauna Jones, said the dogs also badly injured his legs, including damage to his right calf and part of his left foot.
Despite the trauma, Jones said her son’s determination has been inspiring.
The 6-year-old said his favorite rapper is Kendrick Lamar, and he hopes the message reaches him.
“Can you come to my birthday?” Romell asked. Romell turns seven on July 31. 🥹🎉
Even if MJ didn't like him, he'd respect his game... for example...
“To me, the best point guard of all time is Magic Johnson & right behind him is Isiah Thomas. No matter how much I hate him, I respect his game."-MJ

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry.
She does not get the credit she deserves.
—Sister Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was an innovative gospel singer widely recognized today as the godmother of rock and roll.
Tharpe is the first known artist not only to use an electric guitar in gospel music but to give the instrument a melodic role as important as the voice’s role.
During her musical bridges, Tharpe would give free reign to her formidable guitar playing talent, unfolding soaring melodic lines puncuated by deep chordal rips and the occasional jump and leg pump; in essence developing musical tropes in the 1930s that would later be adopted by rock and roll legends Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and Johnny Cash.
Tharpe’s innovation was not always well-received, with traditionalists regularly criticizing and devaluing her innovation.
Despite these attempts to derail her career or persuade her to adopt traditional approaches to gospel music, Tharpe remained deeply rooted in her religious beliefs and values and used her unique musical style to bring gospel music to audiences who would never have otherwise listened to it. Tharpe’s contribution to the development of the rock and roll idiom was finally recognized in 2018, when she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 1988, Michael Jordan won Defensive Player of the Year AND averaged 35 ppg.
No other player has ever won DPOY and averaged 30 ppg in a season.
In fact, no other DPOY winner has averaged 30 in ANY season across their career.
That same year, Jordan also collected every major individual accolade:
• MVP
• Defensive Player of the Year
• All-NBA First Team
• All-Star Starter
• All-Star Game MVP
• Slam Dunk Champion
• Scoring Leader
• Steals Leader
To top it off, he didn't miss a single game.
