Scottie Barnes becomes the FIRST player in NBA history to record: 18+ PPG, 50% FG, 400+ AST, 100+ STL, 100+ BLK and 50+ 3PM in a single season!

A truly all-around stat line 🔥

Builder Sundays is growing.

Toronto. Montreal. Now Ottawa starting March 1.

Ottawa builders have been asking for this for a while… we heard you.

Every Sunday we open @Shopify’s doors to builders, solo devs, and early teams working on their next idea.

We’re also moving to weekly ticket releases so more builders can join.

Come build with us.

Just in: The Toronto Raptors are appointing general manager Bobby Webster as the team’s head of basketball operations and the sides have reached a new contract, sources tell ESPN. Webster joined the Raptors in 2013 as Masai Ujiri’s first hire and now lands the top executive role.

That eagle from Rory is just different gravy...sky-high straight ball off the tee, 330+, allowing him to hit 6-iron into the green, which he can hit higher than anyone... now eagled 2 and 15 and it's starting to feel like destiny.

This stretch by kawhi leonard in game 5 of the 2019 nba finals was shaping up to be 1 of the best stretches in NBA Finals history.

KL completely took the game over trying to personally end the series. He was ready to pop champagne

A core parenting belief of mine:

One of the most important things we can do for our kids is help them learn the power of their imaginations

But you have to contend with the constant onslaught of overstimulating screens

Here's 2 ways we beat screens:

First: reading, every day, no exceptions

In addition to the obvious benefits of being a strong reader, stories in books help open up the imagination and broaden our kids' worlds.

They expand their ideas of what's possible. My advice is start the reading habit as early as possible, and let your kids see you reading as often as you can

Second: audio stories

As an alternative to screens, we listen to audio stories (I even create one for 3-8 year olds that I'll link in a follow-up post). We listen to them together with our oldest son. You can SEE him engaging with the audio in a way he never does with screens. You can see his brain working. You can see him filling in the blanks in his mind.

Whereas if he was just watching a screen, there are no blanks to fill in. No imagining, no envisioning. Just consuming.

"Imagination rules the world"

- Napoleon Bonaparte

This quote is more powerful than people realize

It's impossible to build anything if you can't first imagine it

Everything ever created by man first existed in someone's imagination

Imagination is a muscle. And too much screen time just atrophies it.

Every superpower has a shadow.

Here's mine:

I care about crafting quality products and getting stuff done. But sometimes, I can move too fast instead of bringing people along.

Changing a shadow is very hard. You need to have 3 elements:

1. Desire to change
2. Self-awareness to recognize your flaws
3. Humility to seek feedback and listen

Use this table below from @nikhyl (VP Meta) to identify your shadow:
