Rick Barry hit 90% of his free throws during his NBA career shooting “granny style” and nobody else has committed to it in the almost 50 years since. I find that insane.
No pedals, no delays, not even reverb - and he still sounds massive and fills such a wide sonic frequency. Paul Kosoff - truly incredible talent

Hocus Pocus. 1973. The Midnight Special. Here's the story:
The TV producers told the band they only had 5 minutes left & couldn’t play the 7-minute “Focus,” but the band’s response? ‘Hell no, we’ll just play it faster.’ And so they turned it into a full-blown exorcism ✞
@AndyCampbell16 Expecting 18-22 year olds to come into the NHL and have an immediate positive impact is stupid. Every player has a different developmental path. Spending 2 years in Rockford is NOT a bad thing. Arty will be fine.
A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

April 25, 1985 | Darryl Sutter scores in overtime to give the #Blackhawks a 7-6 win over the North Stars in Game 4 of the Norris Division finals, and a 3-1 series lead!
John Wooden shares a mindset that we all need to adopt every day.
"Yesterday is gone. That'll never change. Tomorrow is yet to be."
"How can you affect tomorrow? By today. That's the only possible way."
"I tried to get each player to make each day his masterpiece."
Don't get caught up in the past or worry about the future - make today your masterpiece.
Then he shared advice he gave to certain players:
"You've gotta put the past out. Good or bad, it's past - it'll never change. The only way you can affect the future is what you do today."
You can't change yesterday. You can't control tomorrow. You only have today.
Then he recited a poem by Vivian Larimore that he loved:
"I've shut the door on yesterday, its sorrows and mistakes. I've locked within its gloomy walls past failures and heartaches."
"And now I throw the key away to seek another room and furnish it with hopes and smiles and every springtime bloom."
"I've shut the door on yesterday and thrown the key away. Tomorrow holds no fears for me, for I have found today."
"Today is the day that counts. It's today."
The present moment is the only place where you can truly make a difference.
Don't carry yesterday's failures or worry about the unknown.
Focus on what you can control.
