@donsettlenaija @LilTunechi I ACCEPT that people differ and come to the correct conclusion at diff paces, but I don’t respect when ones POV is realized in the face of other’s pain and suffering. If something I do causes the aforementioned, I rethink. If an opinion I have combats actualities, I do the same.

@TeamDeplorablez @nypost Nope, just love my hockey playing cartoon loving kids. Missed with that one.

@SAM_jokin @nypost says the guy who's profile is a mix of a cartoon character and hockey players I'd be hard pressed to find a more generic way to self identify

@solitaryintp @whoisdshawn23 @LegionHoops Not edgy. Just honest. You live on a platform where you can remain anonymous while spouting your delusional bullshit. You wouldn’t talk this shit otherwise. Oh, and gentrification is as real as your inability to see beyond your rose colored glasses. My life’s pretty damn good…

@SAM_jokin @whoisdshawn23 @LegionHoops You're so edgy. I could argue the point but it's irrelevant to the economics. Oh one more thing: your life is completely your fault.

Stephen Curry says NBA players are underpaid: “The idea that we can't participate in equity while we're playing is a part of why I would say yes, we are underpaid. I know we're blessed to be in a position where we're playing basketball for a living, and these are the type of checks that people are earning. I think we deserve it.” (via @ComplexSports , @SpeedyMorman)

@TeamDeplorablez Bigger piece of shit than I thought. never seen a piece of shit cling to a narrative harder than you. How bout if you tried harder you’d have an opinion of your own. “Black men don’t raise their kids!” Or, stop being a pejorative piece of garbage and focus on something positive.

I've never seen a group cling on to past like the brothers Can you imagine if they were this honed in on raising their kids?

@solitaryintp @whoisdshawn23 @LegionHoops The average American wasn’t blessed with the level of nepotism he enjoyed either. Stop suckin his sweaty balls. Ass hat.

@whoisdshawn23 @LegionHoops The average American isn't in the top 0.00001% of a field that generates billions in revenue.

@TeamDeplorablez @nypost It’s been done. Over and over again. Yall created that. So shut up and take it. Hiding behind a flag you have no idea what it stands for. Asshole

@nypost Next year a white guy needs to do blackface and see if they'll get such a cheeky post

Happy 60th Birthday to the legendary Yoshihiro Togashi 🎉

Bruce Willis wasn't built like Stallone. He didn't move like Schwarzenegger. He couldn't bench press a car or deliver one-liners while flexing superhuman muscles. He bled. He limped. He crawled through broken glass barefoot and made pain look like courage. Bruce Willis wasn't supposed to be an action hero. He became the blueprint for what a hero could actually be. In 1988, 20th Century Fox cast him in Die Hard. Hollywood executives were skeptical. Willis was the funny detective from Moonlighting, not an invincible warrior. Test audiences doubted him. Industry insiders questioned the choice. This was the era of perfect heroes. Willis looked like the guy who might fix your sink. Then came Christmas Eve at Nakatomi Plaza. McClane wasn’t a hero. He was terrified. Alone. Injured. Fighting terrorists in a skyscraper. “Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs,” he mutters, pulling glass from his feet. Half comedy. Half cry for help. That vulnerability changed action films forever. The muscle-bound invincibility gave way to something raw. More human. Willis made audiences believe a normal man could survive the impossible. Not because he was superhuman, but because he refused to quit. Every wound mattered. Every fear was real. Born Walter Bruce Willis in 1955 on a German military base, he grew up in New Jersey. A severe stutter made speech a battlefield. Then he discovered acting. Onstage, he could finally speak. Before Hollywood, he worked odd jobs—bartender, security guard, private investigator. His charisma caught a casting director’s eye. Moonlighting made him famous. But Willis wanted more than safety. He saw himself in McClane—the underestimated man proving he belonged. He gambled again in Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys, The Sixth Sense—roles that demanded vulnerability over bravado. Each comeback showed that courage is quiet, patient, human. Off-screen, he was the same: tough, generous, humble. He remembered names, bought rounds, treated everyone with respect. In 2022, he retired due to aphasia. Later, it was clarified as frontotemporal dementia. Hollywood fell silent. Bruce Willis humanized heroism. Bleeding. Broken. Determined. John McClane crawled through Nakatomi Plaza barefoot. Impossible odds. But he survived. Because courage isn’t being unbreakable. It’s being broken—and walking through the fire anyway.

🚨🇯🇲 Aljamain Sterling defeats Youssef Zalal via unanimous decision in a dominant performance. (49-45 x3)

Tim Duncan turns 50 today. -5 rings. -3 Finals MVPs. -2 league MVPs. -1 team. (19 years) Sports Illustrated called him "quiet, boring MVP" after his first championship. He responded by winning 4 more. Happy birthday to the most underrated superstar in NBA history.

By Season 4 of The Sopranos, Gandolfini was earning $400,000 per episode. HBO wanted Season 5 on the fast track, and the offer was staggering: roughly $1 million per episode across 13 episodes. Agents celebrated. Lawyers drafted. But something stopped him cold. His co-stars were earning a fraction of what he made. Edie Falco, the woman who carried every scene as Carmela Soprano, wasn't close. The supporting cast earned even less. Gandolfini looked at his contract and saw something executives didn't want him to see — a gap that felt deeply unfair. So he did something that shocked Hollywood. He walked away. Production stalled in early 2003. HBO filed a lawsuit seeking around $100 million in damages. Headlines called him difficult. Columnists called him unstable. "They think I'm a wild animal," he reportedly told a friend that spring. The easy move would have been to sign, cash the check, and disappear into Tony Soprano's shadow — the character who made him a household name and quietly trapped him inside it. Instead, Gandolfini made a different choice. He eventually returned to the negotiating table and signed the deal. But what he did next became legend. Gandolfini reached into his own pocket and personally gave approximately $33,000 to each of 16 supporting cast members — roughly $500,000 of his own money — as a thank-you for standing by him during the shutdown. No press release. No cameras. No announcement. Just quiet envelopes handed out privately. Crew members remembered other moments too. Gandolfini would show up early at Silvercup Studios in Queens, sit in a folding chair, chain-smoke, and ask grips and lighting technicians about their kids by name. He remembered birthdays. He remembered losses. When a crew member's family member fell ill, he quietly helped with expenses. When writers pulled all-nighters rewriting scenes, he fought to protect their words on screen. The turning point wasn't the signing. It was the pause — the refusal that cost him his reputation, invited a massive lawsuit, and risked killing the biggest show on television. He bet everything on a principle most people would have quietly swallowed. Season 5 aired in 2004. Ratings climbed. Awards followed. Critics called it one of the greatest seasons of television ever made. But behind the numbers was a quieter truth: James Gandolfini used his leverage not just to lift himself — but to lift everyone standing beside him. He played a man who ruled through fear on screen. Off screen, he led through loyalty. When he died suddenly in 2013 at age 51, cast and crew members told the same stories over and over — not about his Emmy wins or his iconic performance, but about the envelopes, the folding chair, the questions about their kids. A legacy built not on what he earned, but on what he shared. Power doesn't always roar. Sometimes it whispers through a quiet envelope, handed over with no cameras watching.

Exmédico de los Chicago Bulls revela su experiencia de trabajar con Michael Jordan y su mentalidad competitiva Michael Lewis, ex médico del equipo de los Bulls de los años 90, reveló una historia de cuando Jordan, a pesar de estar lesionado, quería jugar. No sólo para él, sino también para los fans. “Una noche, 10 minutos antes de un partido, tenía un dolor de cuello tan intenso que no podía moverlo en ninguna dirección. Entonces le sugerí que no jugara esa noche y me miró como si estuviera loco. Dijo: 'los fanáticos han venido desde cientos y, a veces, miles de kilómetros de distancia para verme jugar y no los voy a decepcionar'”.

Dwyane Wade responds to narratives about his legacy: “It’s hoop talk… we’re going to defend our positions… I’m tired of people playing on my name… you’re talking to somebody that within 5 years had a Hall of Fame career… I’m not the one to play with.” (via @Par3Podcast )

@AnthonyChe42098 @LegionHoops Chef… your ratio is off. lol

@SAM_jokin @LegionHoops Shai also didn’t play with his second best player all season and was making history . Try again

Nikola Jokic is now the first player to ever lead the NBA in RPG and APG in a single season. Seems pretty valuable…

@JayJohnSoFresh @HarrietEve9 Nigga your on some stuff. That’s why you’re not a GM. Your name shows your NBA IQ.

@HarrietEve9 I mean, if I’m a GM and I have a choice between Bronny and Kwame Brown, give me Bronny

Former NBA baller, Kwame Brown, was the first professional basketball player to call out the Lakers, power forward, LeBron James — and his disrespect for the league, when LeBron got the Lakers to draft his non basketball playing son, Bronny… Kwame unapologetically gave that work to LeBron, the NBA, the Lakers organization, and LeBron’s and Rich Paul’s bought and paid for mainstream sports media TelePrompTer readers… LeBron James Jr., PKA Bronny, was drafted in the NBA by the Los Angeles Lakers, and paid a guaranteed $8 million dollar contract to play in the G League — even with subpar high school and college single digit stats…Nothing about Bronny’s game says he’s a NBA caliber player… Bronny played with his dad’s EGO on Saturday, April 28, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, against the Houston Rockets — and he turned the ball over after not score a single point in 4 minutes of playing time.. Facts over feelings — Bronny should not be in the NBA🤷🏽‍♀️

Met this Artist in 2014. He won an online rap contest I did, was still unknown at the time. Within a week, he flew himself to Atlanta, pulled up to my apartment, listened to beats, picked 2 of them and paid for them in cash. That Artist was Joyner Lucas and both songs came out on his project “Along Came Joyner”. That’s what a serious artist looks like. They move with intention.

Don’t forget when Dwyane Wade got down the court in just 3 seconds. They called him the “Flash” for a reason.

@ceejay_thega @Hoopss @grok If he was the G.O.A.T. then it would be, but he’s not. No hate. He’s just… not.

@Hoopss @grok This should be HIM

Hey @grok , how would this kid look when he turns 40 years old?

On this day in 1980, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope. He would go on to run 5,373 km in 143 days, raising funds and awareness for cancer research that still continues to this day. Fox's legacy reminds us that a courageous person can change the world
