I charted every shot Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken this postseason and tracked how often he fell.

And then I did the same for Jalen Brunson, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell and Victor Wembanyama.

Here's what I found: https://t.co/0Vgr3ibDyP

The scammers running our country want you to think that a VA nurse named Alex Pretti hated America. In reality, he was the sort of person who did this: https://t.co/HjwHUmMktB

Alex Pretti was murdered.

The end of NBA games is so horrific. I can’t believe they didn’t fix the foul up 3 issue.

The Cason Wallace shot. Preseason or not, it’s one of the most bonkers shots you’ll ever see.

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

Imagine watching the announcement of the new Pope, and recognizing a client’s face from your gym! That’s exactly what happened to Valerio Masella, a personal trainer in Rome.

The discrete student he followed for two years, named “Robert,” was Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, the 267th successor of Saint Peter.

“I trained the Pope!”

Valerio revealed this to the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero:

“When he appeared at the window in St. Peter’s Square, I recognized him immediately. I couldn’t believe it! I trained the new Pontiff. To me, he was just a client like any other.”

Valerio, 26, says that no one at the gym or any of its members knew that Robert was a cardinal, much less that he could become Pope.

Pope Leo XIV maintained a consistent training routine. He went to the gym two to three times a week, was always friendly, smiling, and very reserved.

“He would come dressed modestly, arrive in the morning, do his exercises with dedication and never mention his ecclesiastical function,” the trainer said.

The routine began with an aerobic warm-up on a treadmill or bike, followed by muscle-strengthening and postural exercises. The Pope also often played tennis overlooking Saint Peter's Basilica — a sport he said helped develop patience.

Valerio praised the Pontiff's excellent physical shape, stating that, for his age, he stands out for his resistance and healthy body composition.

“I thought he was a teacher or an academic, because he was reserved and intelligent. But Pope? I never imagined.”

This occurrence reveals something touching and deeply human: the man who now guides 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide maintained a simple life, with normal habits and a healthy routine, without fanfare or privileges.

Pope Leo XIV, an Augustinian, a former missionary in Peru, and a pastor of two homelands, is now a symbol of humility in small things—even in academia.

May the Lord strengthen his body, soul, and mission. May Mary, Health of the Sick, always protect Pope Leo XIV!
