Victor Wembanyama dribbled a basketball up a dangerous mountain route in 4.5 hours (takes a normal person 7-8 hours to walk up it) while training with the monks, per @ramonashelburne “One day he told Wembanyama to dribble a basketball up another dangerous mountain route to Sanhuangzhai, a monastery deep in the Song Mountains. The hike traversed cliffside plank paths, suspension bridges and ancient forests, and was five times as long as the one to Bodhidharma Cave. The trail forces you to climb roughly 2,500 feet in elevation across uneven ridges and stone.” (espn.com/nba/story/_/id…)

Wemby is INSANE

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.



One of my favorite recent examples comes from the @Brewers. When so many teams are doing player trends and highlight reels, the Brewers are making movies. Their "Arthouse Baseball" strategy takes old Hollywood references and applies them to the sport of baseball.
