I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
On this day in 1997...
MJ's buzzer-beater capped the Bulls’ thrilling win in Game 1 of the 1997 NBA Finals!
Jordan: 31 PTS (19 in 2H), 8 AST
Pippen: 27 PTS, 9 REB, 3 STL, 4 BLK
Now I can watch the NBA Finals and watch good basketball. I don’t care who wins.. Spurs or Knicks winning it all would be amazing!
Oh yeah.. Chet Holmgren.. you are now in the same bubble as Ben Simmons.. STRAIGHT ASS!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
John Cena & CM Punk MOST INTENSED promo
“You stab friends in the back, borrow colours from hall of famers, stole Randy Savage’s move and you’re ignorant SON OF A B*TCH”
The ending was absolute GOOSEBUMPS 😭🔥
57 points.
Hard to believe it's been 19 years since I put up that number against Utah in an NBA game.
I remember just about every bucket from that night. But...I remember losing more than anything.
That's why when people ask me if that was my favorite game ever I tell them the hard truth: Nope.
1K FOR JUJU ✌️
It only took 38 games for JuJu Watkins to score her 1,000th career point, tied for the fourth-fewest games to reach that mark in D-I WBB history 🔥
