Breaking: The Raiders are trading five-time Pro-Bowl DE Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks, per @AdamSchefter.
The trade cannot be processed until next week, but it is in place. And Crosby is expected to be a Raven with two firsts back to Vegas.
Whatโs most impressive about Bron & his accomplishments imo is he didnโt inherit discipline or structure, and still became who he became.
If you look at most all time great athletes, nearly all of them had strong male influence and father figures. From Jordan, Magic, Serena, Tiger, Brady, Manning, Mahomes, Mayweather, Bolt, Phelps, Messi, Ronaldo, Gretzky, Federer, Kobe, Shaq, Curry, Duncan, Pele, Ali, all of them had present fathers or male figures that gave them structure, guidance, coaching & discipline.
Bron is the only modern all time great who didnโt inherit any of that, yet still generated his own, and sustained it for 20+ years. Most athletes with fatherlessness, poverty & fame collapse. He didnโt. People donโt realize how crazy that is.
He isnโt just a basketball outlier, heโs a sociological and psychological outlier.
