"I wore 34 because my mom was born in 1963 and my dad was born in 1964 so I took the three and four... if you add three and four it equals seven... I feel like 34 holds so much weight and it has so much history. Out of respect to the organization that drafted me... I decided to leave that number there and try to start a new chapter."
Giannis Antetokounmpo speaks on his jersey number change at his @MiamiHEAT introductory press conference!
Idk but Michelle Obama telling Barack “You told me all those years ago that you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. And, of course you outdid yourself and managed to give me both." is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard someone say to another 🥹
Mike Brown dropped a definition about winning in life.
“If you get knocked down in life and you’re able to get back up and keep fighting - that’s a fricking win.”
You need to hear this.
Success isn’t always winning.
Sometimes it’s refusing to stay down
Cutting people off feels different now. It’s not anger, it’s grief. Like dang… I really wanted you here, but your actions showed me I’m not safe with you.
idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that's why I'm here.
You can be someone’s favorite person and still be their last priority. They might boast about you to friends but never make real space for you in their life. Being 'loved' in words means nothing if you aren't 'chosen' in actions.
Unfortunately, I am a girl who takes words to heart ! So yes, I remember every little thing you said & it stuck with me, whether it was good or bad !
Dwyane Wade on the criticism Bam is receiving for scoring 83:
“I don’t think Bam gonna give his 83 points back. We all want things to look a certain way. If it don’t, we be like ‘nope, asterisk.’ When you think of somebody scoring 83,
You think of BUCKETS being put on somebody head. You think of 3s, pull ups, tough shots. You have this vision in your mind of what 83 points look like. Then you see 36/43 from FT line and 7/22 from 3 and you’re like ‘ain’t no way. Unacceptable!’ This is what I hate for Bam, let’s take away the last 5 minutes of the game, Bam played an incredible basketball game. The first 3 quarters, was the best individual performance we seen this year in the NBA. Then the last 5 minutes, it becomes a spectacle…. It didn’t end how we wanted it to but that’s not a Bam problem. Bam did what Bam was supposed to do. I’m on this floor trying to get the W and go for the record books! The man had 83, However he got It. YOU CANT GET 83 AT LIFETIME FITNESS RIGHT NOW!”
