“My first 6 years I was always Jealous of Scottie Pippen”- Kenny Smith @TheJetOnTNT played one year at @UNC_Basketball with Michael Jordan, but he didn’t know he could be the 🐐. He knew he had the competitive streak of a gladiator though. It showed up one day in open run at UNC. MJ was born to be the king of the court, & had no problem telling you. That’s part of why he was jealous of MJ’s most important teammate. @ThePivot on @youtube & streaming. #ThePivot #MichaelJordan #KennySmith #UNCbasketball #TheGoat youtu.be/esQfMkjWJ38

“We understand that for our freedoms, for us to have the ability to walk in the ways that we do and to have the opportunities that we have, someone is putting their life on the line for us daily.” @Realrclark25 Thank you for your service. To Army Sgt. Randy Adams, and all the men, women and their families who sacrifice in some way, every day for our freedom, we see you, we hear you and we appreciate you. #grateful #mondaymotivation #pivot #memorialday @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

Don’t let the bullies win. More & more, young people see themselves as unloved & unworthy. They aren’t the cool kids, the biggest, or most talented, yet. Some days it’s hard to even wake up. May not seem like it, but I get it. My bullies name was Eric. I remember him well , but I lean what I learned from him. So, keep moving forward. Give yourself a chance to grow, learn, & mature. You’ll see that things can be different if you give them a chance to. @thepivot mental health awareness month! #MentalHealthAwareness #Bullies #GoveYourselfAChance

A moment of silence for Kyle Busch before the start of the Coca-Cola 600.

The Eastern Conference finals is all about closers, & the Knicks have one right now! The Cavs have James Harden. Donavan Mitchell needs the ball in the clutch time if the Cavs have any chance to win. Jalen Brunson & the Knicks attacked Harden on both sides of the floor. Their plan & his play led to a huge comeback win for the Knicks. Something had to change! The NBA feels right when the Knicks are good. We may be seeing a lot more of them. #JalenBrunson #NYknicks #NBAPlayoffs #JamesHarden youtu.be/JNETKpkokvw

You will be missed brother.

Victor Wembanyama is the latest step in basketball evolution. The world’s best player is also the league’s newest villain. Wemby takes things personally, & isn’t that what we loved about our favorite 🐐’s of the past? He believes he is the MVP, & set out to prove that point emphatically in Game 1 of the Conference Finals. What will he do for an encore? @ThePivot clips on @youtube #ThePivot #VictorWembanyama #Alien #NBAplayoffs youtu.be/OWOJ8PPTMN8

“That was the start of the Luke Kuechly Thomas Davis era…” Thomas Davis Sr Everyone told him he couldn’t do it. And that coming back from ACL after ACL tear would be impossible, but Thomas Davis used the doubters to motivate him and that first hit was 🔥🔥🔥 it was also the start one hell of a Linebacker tandem! youtu.be/3XmRtCT8coo Full episode out now streaming on all audio platforms and @youtube #nfl #podcast #hits @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“It’s only one time in my career that I regret not listening to a tip that Luke {Kuechly} gave me”- Thomas Davis Thomas Davis was a 3 time pro bowler & All Pro, but many would consider him the “other guy that played alongside Hall of Famer @LKuechly. He’s alright with that, because no one worked saw the game like Luke Kuechly. If you don’t believe @ThomasDavisSDTM, just ask Jamies Winston. Luke is a football savant! TD always listened to him on the field, except for that one time when… @ThePivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #ThomasDavis #LukeKuechly #CarolinaPanthers youtu.be/3XmRtCT8coo

“She’s going through something… she’s hurting, and I’m speaking about my kids”- Thomas Davis Thomas Davis is dealing with the public fallout of a divorce, & the difficulty of breaking a promise to himself & to his children. He can feel the distance with the people he’d, “give {his} life up for”. It’s a father’s responsibility to hold the door open for our children, not the other way around. I told @ThomasDavisSDTM, how you treat your children & their mother is connected to both of their perceptions of you. We don’t get to separate the two. @Thepivot Pivotal conversations #ThePivot #ThomasDavis #FatherHood #Divorce youtu.be/3XmRtCT8coo

“I spent a lot of time and pain trying to hide things from everyone.” Thomas Davis Sr. For years, fans saw the Pro Bowls, the leadership, the toughness and the comeback story after 3 ACL tears… but they didn’t see the pain behind it all. Thomas Davis opens up like never before about the highs and lows of his NFL journey — from becoming the heart of the @Panthers defense to battling addiction to painkillers, navigating divorce, strained relationships with his children, and trying to rediscover who he is after football. He reflects on playing alongside Luke Kuechly, the Super Bowl moment he still regrets, and the emotional toll the game took on his body, mind, and family. This isn’t just a football conversation… It's about pain, healing, accountability, resilience, and what happens when the applause stops. One of the most powerful conversations we’ve had, streaming on all audio platforms and @youtube now. youtu.be/3XmRtCT8coo #NFL #CarolinaPanthers #MentalHealth #Podcast @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

Powerful conversation with one of our NFL brothers today. youtu.be/3XmRtCT8coo

“Tell someone before you give up” I remember laying on the floor, crying & saying “I’m done. I’m just tired”. My Dr. walked in, looked at me, & said, “I’m not waiting another second. I’m taking you to surgery now!”. He knew I’d taken all I could take. Sometimes hide our pain so well that no one knows we’ve had enough. The hurt becomes so overwhelming we just give up. Promise yourself, that before you give up you’ll tell someone. It could save your life. @ThePivot Mental Health Awareness #MentalHealthAwareness #ThePivot #PivotalPoints #DontGiveUp

“Winning cures everything. Whatever it takes, I’m cool with the sacrifices that come with it.” @spidadmitchell #mondaymotivation Donovan Mitchell has had all the individual accolades he could possibly want but for him it’s been about team and making the conference finals ✅ now aiming for that championship. Acknowledging a lot of great players haven’t won a title, but he isn’t settling to be in that group- He is well aware the sacrifices and hard work it takes to get the 🏆 and is all in on it 🏀 One step closer, it’s now @cavs vs @nyknicks who you got winning the East?⬇️ #nba #basketball #cleveland #ny @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“I was so wrapped up in… win a gold medal & life is good” - @allysonfelix Allyson Felix lived her life like Ricky Bobby, “If you’re not first you’re last”. All of her worth was tied up in winning gold medals. So much so there was embarrassment tied to silver medals. For so long wins & losses controlled who she was. Her happiness was tied to her results, & that’s a tough way to live. @Thepivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #AllysonFelix #Olympics youtu.be/p7Ctc6rtrCU
