Vitamin D3 supplementation: largely accepted nowadays. Creatine: starting to break through. Next: Magnesium (Threonate or Bisglycinate). Why? Well for starters, Mg can protect against hearing loss, solid data on reducing migraines & it can improve sleep. 30-60min before bed.
Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.
Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.
At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.
Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.
My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

.@naval on the three ideas that will shape the next ten years:
1) How bad modern medicine is: People put a lot more faith in modern medicine than is warranted.
We don’t have many good explanatory theories in biology.
And because we’re not allowed to take risks that might kill people, we just don’t experiment enough. A lot of treatments are just outright banned by large regulatory bodies so we just don’t have the innovation.
We’re still in the Stone Age when it comes to biology.
2) We continue to underestimate how important drones are going to be in warfare: The future of all warfare is drones. There will be nothing else on the battlefield. The end state of drones is autonomous bullets—not even guided—they’re self directed.
There’s going to be no aircraft carriers, no tanks, no infantry men, there are just going to be autonomous bullets.
My autonomous bullets versus your autonomous bullets—whichever ones win, the other side just surrenders.
3) GLP-1s are the most breakthrough drugs since antibiotics: They’re sort of miracle drugs. There are downsides but the downsides and side effects are so minor compared to the upsides beyond just weight loss—they also seem to be addiction breakers, lower many kinds of cancer, they almost metabolically reverse aging up to a certain point. And they could bend the curve on healthcare costs.
The big question people are going to be asking over the next 5 years is, “Why are Americans paying thousands of dollars a month for this when people overseas are getting them for free?”
