Lamar Jackson says he watched friends chase fast money while he was playing the long game and counting how many years it would take him to reach the NFL

“I’m seeing my friends who I was growing up with who I was playing football with… Just throw their life away for fast money and stuff like that. They used to tell me ‘Oh, you talk too much’. Because I used to always speak about football and positivity stuff. They didn’t want to hear that.”

“Now it’s like… They’d rather hear it now because I’m Lamar Jackson. But I’ve been speaking about it. Everybody just wasn’t listening. I was already seeing what was going on. I wish we could go back in time and y’all could see what I was seeing. Because I always looked at life like, I counted years.”

“Like I would think… ‘How many years does it take to get to the league?’ They’re saying… ‘You do three years in college.’ I said… ‘I’m doing three years.’ I’m not doing four. I’m not trying to go fifth year. I’m doing three years because I’m going to make sure my family is good.”

“If you’re coming from a place like where I come from, don’t try to be like the guys around you. Don’t look up to the stuff that looks like it’s fun… Because sometimes it gets you in trouble.”

“It’s sacrificing. ‘Man, I can’t have fun right now. I’ve got to get my family right. I can’t do this right now. I can’t mess up.’ Forget the fast money. I’ve got to think about longevity.”

“You can get locked up and do five years for $1,000. That money gone. It’s gone. You’re like… ‘Man, I just did that for $1,000…’ And I could have waited five years and I would’ve had $10 million.”

“That’s why I’m where I’m at right now. That’s how I used to think. My mom working… She’s busting her behind. It’s me, my brother and my two sisters at home. I’m the oldest…”

“So I’ve got to make sure everybody right. And it’s like… Man, I can’t wait, but I’ve got to wait. That’s the sacrifice. I’ve got to be patient. People don’t look at it like that. It’s like… ‘Man, I need that money right now.’ But you don’t need that money right now. Just wait.”

James Harden shows love to Nipsey Hussle today by reposting @CulturedUpdatez post on IG and states:

“We still 🏃🏽‍♂️ this Marathon 🏁 Happy B-Day Brodie”

Harden made sure he celebrated with Nip moments after winning the 2017-2018 NBA MVP Award by playing “Count On You” which has been released yesterday on Nip & Bino’s collab album “Prolific”. Track #5

The two recorded most of the album in 2017, spending months locked in a studio building the project together.

Today is Nipsey Hussle’s Birthday. He would’ve been 41.

The Marathon Continues 🏁

Y'all, watch this video on 21 Dame. I think it does an incredible job at showing Dames insane offensive prowess at his peak, while perfectly illustrating just how bad his teams were during his peak.

One of my favorite Russell Westbrook videos on the internet 🙏🏼

[Melech. @MelechThomas]

a 20/20/20 game intentionally in honor of Nipsey Hussle is probably one of the greatest feats in sports history. basically Babe Ruth pointing his bat to the stands, but for Crips.

Big Meech credits Lil Meech’s mom for keeping their bond strong after he went to prison when his son was 5 and came home 20 years later ❤️🙏

“No matter who she dealt with, she always made sure to bring my son around me.”

“I gotta give her all the credit for that.”

The Celtics are asking for four first-round picks for Jaylen Brown, and the Trail Blazers are seen as the frontrunners to win the sweepstakes 😳, per @sam_amick

“The Celtics, per league sources, have been asking for up to four first-round picks; Portland is seen as the front-runner there.”
