Allen Iverson on load management:
“Can you imagine somebody telling me, ‘We’re going to rest you tonight.’ What do you mean, rest me? It’s a game… You want to bring up the word practice? Sh**, rest me tomorrow at practice. Don’t rest me when we got a game.”

“He’s going to be 41, he’s in his 23rd year, stat-padding his way to make ignorant folks out there think that’s going to make him the GOAT over Jordan — not realizing that most of the stuff it took him 20+ years to do, Jordan did in 13.”😳

Toni Kukoč shares how Michael Jordan helped him become great:
"For me, the most significant help was being there every day and seeing what he (Jordan) did day after day to be who he is. In those few years I had the opportunity to play with him, he never missed a practice, never missed a game, so many victories, MVP, but he still found a reason every day to come to that practice and learn something new, to push all of us there to give our maximum day after day. Our practices were tougher than 60, 70% of the games we played, and you can’t do that without a leader who’s there every day. That was Michael for us."
This is what we mean when we say Mike made his good teammates into ELITE teammates. He MAXIMIZED what he had, he never ran away to another team ✌🏻

The best decision I ever made was marrying you, @MichelleObama. For 33 years, I’ve admired your strength, grace, and determination — and the fact that you look so good doing it all. Happy anniversary!
Coach Bobby Knight when asked if Lebron was the Best Player hes ever seen:
"No, No, the best guy that ever played was Michael Jordan. Dont even think about anybody else, Not even close. He was just better than everybody, he was smarter, he was tougher, he won more"
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our founder and friend Robert Redford.
Bob’s vision of a space and a platform for independent voices launched a movement that, over four decades later, has inspired generations of artists and redefined cinema in the U.S. and around the world.
Beyond his enormous contributions to culture at large, we will miss his generosity, clarity of purpose, curiosity, rebellious spirit, and his love for the creative process.
We are humbled to be among the stewards of his remarkable legacy, which will continue to guide the Institute in perpetuity.
Robert Redford has died at 89 years old.
The film icon starred in classic movies such as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "All the President's Men," won an Oscar for directing “Ordinary People” and founded the Sundance Film Institute.
