Giannis calls Jabari Parker his favorite teammate in his final Bucks interview
“I was able to measure myself against him… if he works 1 hour, I’ll work 1 hour and a half… I never told him this but he motivated me so much to be better because he was so damn good”
Shaquille O’Neal says Pat Riley wanted him shredded like Alonzo, Shaq’s answer: “This is what I average against him, 41, 19 and 6”
“Quick story. Miami, playing for Pat Riley, Pat Riley’s a stat guy. So one day he brings in Alonzo Mourning. He says, Shaq, you know the guys had their body fat, Alonzo, take your shirt off. I want you to look like this”
“Alonzo’s chiseled. I said, Impressive. Coach, let me show you something. Alonzo, you look good. But coach, this is what I average against him: 41, 19 and 6”
“He said, Yeah, yeah, yeah… He wanted the big guys at 10% body fat. I said, Coach, I’m a fried-chicken-cheeseburger guy, I’m not eating no salads. That’s just not what I do”
The sheer amount of times black people will not understand when you're the token in the friend group you can die and none of your white friends will say they saw anything.
@ElunHatesMe This was when I fell I love with basketball, waking up early on a Saturday morning watching:
Jujuan Johnson in 2011
Jared Sullinger in 2012
Kelly Olynyk in 2013
Marcus smart in 2014
I wish it was back.
If 3 Black people took a White man on a boat expedition and didn’t return with him the president would be making a speech right now.
