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.
Emma como Rhaenyra es increíble. Acaba de asesinar por primera vez, de ahí el llanto, sumado a que finalmente tiene el trono, pero cuando Alicent la juzga, su rostro cambia paulatinamente hasta mostrar el orgullo del Dragón.
MI REINA
Jon Hamm gave himself until his 30th birthday to make it as an actor. He spent his twenties waiting tables, catching the bus because he couldn't afford to fix car, and talking his landlord into delaying the rent. His agency dropped him in 1998. He was 36 when Mad Men premiered.
Halfway through Gone Girl (2014), when Amy says, “I’m so much happier now that I’m d*ad,” and starts explaining everything in the car, the whole theater just lost it. People were shocked, laughing, and completely hooked at the same time.
insane that the first mobile phone cost the equivalent of $13,000 today and it could only make calls, the battery lasted 30 minutes and it took 10 hours to charge
now, forty years later, you can buy a pocket supercomputer for a fraction of that, and it connects you to anyone on earth, runs models smarter than most people, tracks your health, location, takes professional photos and videos and gives you every book, song, and film in human history.
the average teenager now has more compute, storage, and bandwidth in their hand than the entire world did when that first phone launched.
and this happened in a single human lifetime.
what's even going to be the humanoid equivalent of an iPhone 17 Pro?
because at this pace, 40 years of progress will compress into 10, or fewer
we are entering the steepest part of the curve
