No NBA champion has ever visited the White House during a Donald Trump term:
2017 - Warriors declined.
2018 - Warriors declined.
2019 - Raptors declined.
2020 - Lakers declined.
2021 - Bucks visited Biden.
2022 - Warriors visited Biden.
2023 - Nuggets declined.
If this were black people, there would be tweets all over this site about how violent black people are, and how they cant be in society, followed by an Elon musk "Yup" retweet.
To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
Can I just say seeing a team intentionally put a lesbian flag front and center as well as “protect trans lives” is extremely important to show where the stand especially in a time where players are targets of heightened homophobia and transphobia
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO WHAT HUNTER BIDEN SAYS BECAUSE HE WAS A DRUG ADDICT🤔 BUT PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE MEDICAL ADVICE FROM RFK WHO IS ALSO A FORMER DRUG ADDICT AND A CONSPIRACY NUT 🙄
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 🙄
