We lost a legendary figure in Florida today.
Bigga Rankin had an amazing spirit and he embraced me from day one. That’s the kind of love and loyalty you never forget. My dawg has moved on, but his legacy, his voice and the impact he made on this culture, especially Southern hip-hop, will live forever. Prayers up for his family and everyone who loved him.
Rest in Power, Bigga Rankin🕊️

Grant Hill on Jaylen Brown not being on the USA team:
“When I announced then team, there were certain guys that I called before Woj and Shams broke it. And I called like Lillard, I called Jimmy Butler, I tried to call everybody because you never know when they’re going to break it. And you want to give guys the respect to hear it from me. I called Jaylen. We had a great conversation. Unbelievable conversation. And so something got lost there. And the implication that like a shoe company like to me that, look you guys can criticize my leadership. You can criticize the ability to put together a roster. When you’re in a role that I’m in, you open yourself up to criticism and I accept that. But to imply that like a shoe company told me what to do. Now you questioning my character, and that was the things that was weird.”

@ChuckModi1@ComplexSports Younger players have passed her and more on the way. She isn’t close to Juju and Strong might be the best player to date. Look at future high school classes too, that side is evolving fast.
Vin Baker says working at Starbucks after making $100,000,000 in the NBA became one of the best years of his life
“So many articles came out saying, ‘NBA player made $100 million, now working at Starbucks.’”
“To be perfectly honest, it was one of the best years of my life.”
“I was happy that I was sober.”
“I was waking up every morning not needing alcohol or drugs.”
“I was actually doing the job.”
“I’d close the store at 11:30 at night and be back at 4 in the morning to open it.”
“It disciplined me.”
“Going from an All-NBA player to being a Starbucks manager takes a level of humility.”
