🏴 Jamie Carragher speaking the 100% truth regarding Raheem Sterling's career:
🗣️ Carragher: "By any measure, he is one of the best English players of his generation. When discussing his career, the focus should be on the thrill of his initial impact as a prodigy before maturing to fulfil his talent under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
He has won 10 major trophies, 82 England caps, scored 194 goals.
I can speak honestly as a former team-mate that when it comes to his attitude to training and a desire to perform on the pitch, Sterling is up there with the most respected."

Yahya Abdul-Mateen says he’s actively “trying to understand where the money is coming from” in Hollywood in an effort to promote more Black stories:
“It is my goal and a part of my mission statement to push more Black and diverse stories with more Black and diverse leads at a quality level that matches what I’ve been able to do in my career thus far,�� he declares. “Every time I’m on set, I’m looking at how things are being done. I’m trying to understand where the money is coming from.”

Thierry Henry: "I've always admired FC Bayern for how the club is run. Former players like Franck Ribéry, Willy Sagnol, and Bixente Lizarazu spoke very highly of Bayern, the club, the fans, and the mentality - basically everything. If you look at the players they sign, it's not always about big names. They bring in footballers who fit their identity. That's precisely why it works. They say to themselves: This player might be great, but not for FC Bayern. Or: This coach is good, but not the right one for our club. They stay true to their philosophy, I admire that" [@SIGermany ]
SGA on not having Jalen Williams: "Not having Dub for the whole year basically sucked. He's such a unicorn out there. He's a 20 point per game scorer, guards 1-5. Last season he got All NBA for offense, All NBA for defense and was an All Star. At 24 years old. Losing a guy like that hurts. Having a swiss army knife like that.. is a luxury.. and we didn't have that luxury this year."
Shai:
"There's been 4 MVPs in the last 12 years to come through this building and I don't think that's a coincidence. There's a reason why you have success when you come through this program"
