Hillary Clinton on Trump in 2016: When he lost the Iowa caucuses, he said the Republican primary was rigged. When his fake university was sued for fraud, he said the courts were rigged. When he didn’t get an Emmy for The Apprentice, he claimed the Emmys were rigged.

In 2021, Duncan Robinson signed the biggest NBA contract ever for an undrafted player. Five years. $90 million.
He got money money.
Then in 2022, he permanently lost the starting job in Miami. And that setback cost him millions.
If you look at the fine print of Robinson’s contract, you’ll find a litany of incentives he has to meet to get the full $90 million.
🔸Must appear in 75% of playoff games
🔸Must play 25 minutes per playoff game
🔸The final $10 million is only guaranteed if the Heat win a championship
The life of a shooter is brutal. The highs and lows of maintaining your confidence is mental warfare.
And when you get benched, you get less minutes and less shots to regain that confidence. Those contract incentives start feel further than the basket.
It’s demoralizing. So many players go out like this. But apparently, the rule doesn’t to Miami Heat players.
Miami Heat culture means no matter who you are- undrafted benchwarmer or super-max superstar- if you’re on this team, you’re working.
Robinson not only came back in these playoffs, he came back different. He learned how to attack closeouts, seek contact and create off the dribble.
He’s no longer a 6’7” shooter. He’s now a 6’7” shooter, slasher and playmaker.
It’s so incredibly rare for a player who crashed as hard as Duncan did to bounce back like this. And it’s almost unbelievable to do it on this stage.
On the road. Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Duncan Robinson scored 10 points in the 4th quarter and gave Miami the Heat it needed to tie this series.
He may lose millions, but Duncan Robinson will never take the opportunity for granted. He’s living proof why you should always love yours. Because…

Re #NovakDjokovic
Am in Aus at moment meeting our 11 month old granddaughter.
To enter we had to show:
- Our son was perm resident
- We’d been fully vaxxed
- Filled form correctly
Those are rules we had to play by. 1000s (like siblings) still can’t get into Aus
