Isiah Thomas on former NBA players holding LeBron out of the top 5 players of all time:
“Guys are jealous, they get envious…. They intentionally ignore the obvious. When you intentionally ignore the obvious it has to come back to jealousy, envy, or straight up BS. This man got every basketball record on the books, if he ain’t in your top 5, you’re full of sh*t”

#Mariners Ken Griffey Jr. robbed Albert Belle of this home run 30 years ago today, on May 5, 1996.
Junior finished that season with 49 home runs, Belle with 48.
My career included stops in other cities and I loved my time with those clubs. But for me, y’all know DAMN well Cincinnati is my HOME. I love the city, my teammates, especially the FANS. I can finally say, I’m a RED4LIFE!💯🫡 #RedsCountry
Twelve years ago, Detective Walter Sweeney was driving home to his one-year-old daughter when a call came over the radio: a child had fallen into a backyard pool. He detoured to the address, jumped the fence, ignored the barking dogs, and dove in.
The boy, Matthew, was already lifeless and blue. Walter performed CPR and brought him back.
Today, Lieutenant Walter Sweeney was being promoted when 12-year-old Matthew and his family arrived to celebrate. They had come to thank the man who saved his life—and to offer a heartfelt gift.
A true act of service and humanity.
