Dikembe Mutombo was an incredible basketball player – one of the best shot blockers and defensive players of all time. But he also inspired a generation of young people across Africa, and his work as the NBA’s first global ambassador changed the way athletes think about their impact off the court. Michelle and I are thinking of Dikembe’s family and everyone who knew and loved him.

Messi --> Cremaschi --> MESSI

OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD.

[Kevin Finnerty @timeimmemorial_]

Messi joining the MLS is like Furio moving to New Jersey

Oh yeah, and Happy Pesach to our Jewish Wrass Fam from this gargantuan grappler "The Big Gun" (WWR #949) He might give you a pass this week, but you can bet after Seder is cleared, he'll put your ass through the table! #CHAGSAMEACH!

If you don’t know Seba, take a look at a couple notes @itsnicethat did on him.

He also did work for @NewYorker, @nytimes & @victoryjournal, a magazine I’ve always wanted to publish my photos in.

Pelé's bicycle kick against the Miami Toros in 1976. In the outfield at Yankee Stadium, he scored one of the most beautiful goals in the history of American soccer. RIP, O Rei.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

In August 1967, it was hard to imagine that Americans might get interested in soccer. Then Pelé played at Yankee Stadium.

"He showed Americans why soccer was the beautiful game." https://t.co/nGsfSLOOhO

#tbt to Winter Fest 1994, when I was a (good looking) kid playing for the Montreal Expos! Wow! Time flies when you’re having fun!

After winning a national championship with the Buckeyes, Maurice Clarett's life took a turn, in part from self-destruction.

Now, Clarett has rebuilt his life, his mindset and his relationship with Ohio State ❤️
