Dwyane Wade says after getting his meniscus removed at 19, before getting drafted the doctors told the Heat he would only have 5 good years, and after that his knee would be an issue 😳
“Doc said he told the Heat, ‘he will have 5 good years. Then after that the knee would become an issue. He wasn’t lying. Had about 5 good years then my knee became an issue. I had multiple knee surgeries after that. I have an incredible tolerance for pain. I played through things I know a lot of guys wouldn’t play through. I found a way to still be effective knowing I couldn’t do certain things… my first few years I didn’t know it’d be an issue because I was still really explosive. I was like ‘what meniscus?’ I felt like rookie of the year”

Iman Shumpert said in a recent interview that he will never enter another marriage because marriage failed him and left him with nothing. 💔
🗣️ Iman Shumpert: "When I was married, I trusted my wife with everything. I loved her, so I put all my money into a joint account because I believed we were building a future together. I never imagined things would end the way they did."
"After our divorce was finalized, I had to give up a huge part of what I worked so hard for. She received over $25 million in cash and assets, including $10 million in cash, four houses worth around $10 million, a Maybach, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and even a tour bus."
"On top of that, I pay $8,000 every month in child support, and I also cover our children's school fees and medical expenses. She also kept her own businesses."
"When everything was settled, I was left with about $2 million and no house. Looking back, I realize I made some financial decisions I probably shouldn't have. It's a hard lesson, but one I've had to live with."

Iman Shumpert says he doesn’t know how NBA players go broke, especially when the league prepays their taxes
“After my rookie year, I told my brother, ‘I don't know how people go broke.’ I don't know how you go broke. You're telling me y'all are going to pay my taxes for me in advance. This is the league”
“What I calculated for myself is, if I'm putting my shit in safe bonds, safe investments and companies that I know are going to put money back into their company to make sure that their company continues to grow. If I could lock onto these companies quickest, like getting Apple stock and shit. We knew back then grabbing that stock then, what it was going to be now. iPhones, it's going nowhere. No matter when you get in, you're straight because they're going to constantly take that money, put it back into Apple. That's going to make it keep on going”
“When you get into those safe type investments, people that are going to make products every year, things that are just going to keep appreciating in value, I knew there was going to be a certain amount that I'm going to get every year off interest. How do I get my nest egg to the point that I can live comfortably off interest. Once I got to that number, I knew, okay, this is my budget per month. Once I cleared that, I'm able to say, boom, now this is my budget per month. But in no shape or form do you live outside yourself”
Ali said he hit Joe Frazier with punches that will crumble a brick wall yet Frazier will not fall. He said he knew he was in big trouble.
This is why the Ali-Frazier trilogy remains the greatest rivalry in boxing history.

What is your honest opinion on this concept? Do you think we should replace cemeteries and grave stones with tree's? I am kind of on the fence with this one.
There’s a reason why LeBron never plays 1on1 💯 He has Got A limited offensive bag 🎒

The excavator operator asked her to get away from his machine and she refused, then she entered into the bucket to flip him off but got stuck in it and started asking for help 😂
Paul Wall talks to Cam Newton about growing up facing racism from white people because of the people he surrounded himself with, being called a “race traitor,” and how he ultimately found the most acceptance from the Black community by showing respect and staying true to himself 👀
He also reveals that many up-and-coming white rappers reach out to him for advice on how he earned the respect of the Black community and managed to stay embraced by the culture for decades 😮
“When it comes to white rappers, a lot of people will transition into other things… but it’s another flex to still be a part of the cookout for decades at a time.”
“I deal with this a lot too when it comes to up-and-coming white rappers… They’ll ask, ‘How did you get accepted?’ Because we can’t get them accepted.” 👀
