I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
PRO-TIP: If you're the jerk who snatched Majchrzak's cap out of the child's hand I'd get out in front of this. Find out how to get the hat back to the kid and make a public apology. This won't end well unless you make it right quickly.
As you grow older, you begin to understand: your father was just a man trying his best with what he knew. Forgive him. He was living life for the first time, too.
Exercise and vaccines both save lives.
Vaccines prevent about 5 million deaths per year (Lancet, 2024).
Lack of exercise contributes to about 5 million deaths per year (Lee et al., 2012).
Yet, Joe Rogan only complains when vaccine experts don’t preach fitness, and has no problem when fitness pros don’t preach vaccination.
Billy, this is Luka Doncic. He is a top 5 player in the NBA and can be an all time great. His defect is that he gets a little chunky sometimes. This guy should cost us our entire roster and 10 firsts, but we can get him for just Anthony Davis.

Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week.
Air traffic controllers - already understaffed - got Trump’s “buyout” this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide.
It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.
Just as Zverev is about to speak at the trophy ceremony, a woman repeatedly shouts:
“Australia Believes Olya and Brenda! Australia Believes Olya and Brenda!”
Broke through the silence.

A UK trial of a 4-day workweek with 61 companies was so successful that 54 kept it, and most made it permanent, per NPR.
Employees worked less but stayed just as productive, with some companies seeing revenue grow by 35%. Workers also reported better health, less burnout, and even losing weight.
