@RuairiPrunty @diabeticrocksta @Travis_in_Flint Umm first it’s “you’re” second I have a father so I can’t be a bastard and then it’s news outlets/media that we gain information on this stuff sooo YOU’RE (because remember it’s YOU ARE) pretty much wrong. Internet can make you mad…I understand

@lancehowton20 @diabeticrocksta @Travis_in_Flint Okay nerd, your the reason, you and your kind go around spouting possibilities of what could be, stoking fear into those are none the wiser, why don’t you play devils advocate where it matters? I know why, your a lazy bastard who’s unhappy, good luck 👍👍👍👍

@diabeticrocksta @Travis_in_Flint Do you know every aspect of their life? Do you know everything they were involved with….it’s just theory crafting and playing devils advocate

@RuairiPrunty @bpoppenheimer No this is the truth adidas story is rubbish
English

In 1985, Nike held a 24-hour shoe design contest.
Nike was struggling. Their stock dropped 50%. They had to lay off people. Adidas, Converse, & Reebok were all selling more shoes.
So in a panicked attempt to find creative talent, Nike held a shoe design contest.
The winner was
A corporate architect named Tinker Hatfield.
"Two days after the competition," he said, "I wasn't even asked—I was told that I was now a footwear designer for Nike."
As he got to work on his first official shoe design, he thought about a building he had studied in architecture school: The Centre Pompidou in Paris.
The Centre Pompidou is an inside-out building, meaning that the structural, mechanical, and circulation systems are all exposed.
“That building,” Tinker said, “was describing what it was to the people of Paris. And I thought, ‘Well why not do that with a shoe? Let’s cut a hole in the side and show what’s in the shoe.’”
So Tinker designed an inside-out shoe:
The Air Max 1.
The Air Max 1 was a massive success, and it steered Nike's design direction from then on.
"To this day," Tinker says, "Phil Knight says I saved Nike."
Takeaway 1:
Had he not studied that building in Paris, Tinker says, he couldn’t have created the Air Max.
Creativity, he says, is a function of the “library in your head."
“When you sit down to create something...what you create is a culmination of everything you’ve seen and done previous to that point.”
Takeaway 2:
Tinker Hatfield went to architecture school and then he was a corporate architect for 4.5 years. Then, literally overnight, he became one of the best shoe designers in the world.
This makes me think of a counter-intuitive discovery made by psychologist Charles Spearman in 1904.
Before Spearman, the natural assumption was that the more you specialize in one thing, the worse you’ll be at other things.
Instead, Spearman discovered "the positive manifold" phenomenon.
He found that different abilities tend to be positively correlated. That the expertise gained through specialization is transferrable. That the cognitive and creative abilities cultivated as an architect could positively correlate with being a shoe designer.

@mohitmadaan @veefriends I love that my good friend @RTT_RMCH90 has so much believe in @garyvee and that he never shuts up about it all

@curtiswoodhous8 Nowhere near top 10, but is 12-15? 😂 he’s not that far away really then is he? I agree Tysons resume of opponents aren’t as good as others but your ranking has to be weighted across different things, based on opponents alone Lewis ain’t above Frazier or foreman
English

He’s absolutely nowhere near my top 10. I have him at about 12-15ish
1 Ali
2 Louis
3 Lewis
4 Holmes
5 Foreman
6 Frazier
7 Holyfield
8 Marciano
9 J Johnson
10 Vladimir
Just my opinion and the list is always changing but Tyson never makes my top 10

@curtiswoodhous8 Tyson in his hay day has to be in the mix!!
