Thank you to Terrence for allowing me to express feelings/experiences no ones ever knew of. Weโre Naturals & the Transparency/Energy we emitted into the universe speaks for itself, ENJOY!!! โจ
you are so impressive Olivia, it is so obvious that you will not back down from a fight, and you know you want to stamp your name in this league. I am a fan proudly ๐ฅ
There is no โwelcome to the WNBAโ moment for Olivia Miles, there is only a โwelcome to Olivia Milesโ moment for the WNBA and it happens like 8 times a game.
These guys built a life long bond and true friendship off the basketball floor,l, from the triangle to this Game 3 talk you can just tell they brothers. I love this!
I try to find a next-morning Olivia Miles highlight montage from any Lynx game I'm not able to watch live.
I'm almost always giggling and shaking my head within 30 seconds.
@AaronGleeman the way IQ & decision making come into success for her is so amazing to watch, ROTY without a doubt and seeing her progress in this league is gonna be amazing!
Last 48 hrs of Gambling have been surreal but very earned. Shoutout to my brother for the Hart call & for this day to day Grind we conduct! @Cjaycashh ๐ฅ๐ฅ #Gambling๐ #GamblingCommunity
Bobcats Gerald Wallace was something special man. One of the greatest and most underrated two way players of all time.
His prime years being spent on the Bobcats overshadowed his career and legacy, but the streets will never forget. Only non Center to average over 2 blocks and 2 steals per game in a single season.
Allen iverson in tears having to be consoled, after losing to the pacers in the 2nd round in 2000. It was the 2nd straight yr the pacers sent ai home in the 2nd rd
Ai would bounce back in 2000-2001 winning mvp, beating the pacers finally, in route to the nba finals.
A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him.
For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25.
Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely.
Here's where it gets interesting.
In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past.
Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him.
Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it.
Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube.
He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium.
Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius.
They're both wrong. It was a receipt.
He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.
The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.
