Today marks my last day as CEO of Overtime.

It has been ten years since we started Overtime and it has been one of the most fun, crazy and rewarding experiences of my life.

I was 50 years old when we started. Ten years later, I am turning 60. The life changes are not lost on me, especially after my mother passed a little over a year ago.

TicketWeb at the beginning of the dot com technology boom… to Draw Something around the explosion of the iPhone… to Overtime at the emergence of the creator economy. What a ride.

Over the last few months I have spent more and more of my time writing code and getting back to building. The power of AI is transformational and exciting, in code and in data. This feels like one of those times…

Overtime has great leadership who have been at the company through its growth and have the power and dedication to see it through. It will continue to do incredible work and change the landscape of sports. I will never get tired of seeing a kid in an Overtime hoodie.

I will be embarking on my own journey and also cheering from the sidelines.

Thank you to all the people, athletes and partners of Overtime, and thank you to the fans.

Thank you to Kevin Ollie for teaching me so much about basketball and about life.

Thank you to Melanie for your undying support and for being my ride or die through all of it.

Thank you to Joshua and Miles for recognizing the irony that your dad has almost no vertical, but worked in basketball.

And Tallulah, I am so proud of you and how much you have grown. I love all of you so much.

And shoutout to Overtime!

Dan

1/ “Six Seven.” Is a meme and a phrase that’s everywhere. While it’s now hit the mainstream news cycles of awkward adults explaining it - let me share how it really happened and what 6-7 actually tells us about the new relationship between culture, sport, and the internet.

Utah Valley University, the workers aren’t just ripping up and replacing where Charlie Kirk was sitting, they’ve begun redoing the walkway behind him

Even tearing down and redoing the ceiling directly above where he was shot

A crime scene being completely remodeled is strange

Thank you #AdidasNGT and @EuroLeague for having us. It’s been an incredible experience. 🙏

THANK YOU ATL!

"What began as an anomaly -teenage basketball players brought to Atlanta to form a league of their own- has quickly become a must-see weekend event in a city with no shortage of professional and collegiate sports to follow."

1/ I read a lot of articles about Overtime Elite (OTE), with quotes from self interested parties about what happens if we sign players who don't go pro and and give up their eligibility. I have some thoughts on that below....

This week I learned that several of my former students found new jobs they are really excited about. Their secret was the same. They took the imperfect job out of college, learned real world skills and then used that to move into something about which they were more passionate

Ok y’all. Let’s do this.

NYC summer going to be 🔥

[Cliff Levy @cliffordlevy]

MAJOR milestone for NYC:
Cuomo just announced that he is lifting all capacity restrictions on May 19 for restaurants, museums, theaters and retail.
The subway will resume 24-hour service on May 17.
