I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

another championship. I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.   Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home! 🙏🏾🫡👑

out. This is my last decision. I’m not going for money. I’m not going for family. What am I really playing for at this point? I still want to sacrifice. I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning

this game. I still truly love this game, and I have more to give. The last few weeks have really been special. I’ve never been able to have no clue what to do and take real time to just think. I’ve had an incredible few months with all the people I love trying to figure it all

I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn't ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and deicide if I still love

Ibrahim and Omar Ali grew up in the West Bank waking up at 4am to watch NBA games, sometimes playing just 5 games a season because of checkpoints and road closures. They grew up on Kyrie, whose posts made them feel like they had an ally in the NBA. Omar's dream is to hand him his Palestine national team jersey one day. Now Ibrahim is the only West Bank born Palestinian American on a men's college roster, and Omar is drawing D1 interest. Beautiful story from @MirinFader 🙏 nytimes.com/athletic/74302…

I sat down recently w/ former Hopkins forward Ahmed Nur. He'll play his senior year at a prep school in Phoenix. His recruitment has blown up since he won MVP at the NBPA camp in June. #Gophers want him. Snippet of our chat, + link to all 20+ min. below: tinyurl.com/4kmfmnuj

Beyond Grateful and Blessed!! 🙏🏾👑

Watch the crowds during the Farewell Tawaf Hajj 1433 AH (2012 CE). Over 3.1 million pilgrims – the largest Hajj season in modern history. Those who entered at Dhuhr didn’t finish until Fajr the next day.

BAM ADEBAYO: "To have 83 the first game she's here is very special... the behind-the-scenes, the workouts, the conversations, they're very motivating, and obviously you see what she does... you get inspired by that. I'm thankful to have her in my life." A'JA WILSON: "I see the countless hours, the early morning workouts, the questioning the self, I see all that... this has been an incredible journey for Bam... I know he says I'm his inspiration, but I don't think he has a clue how much he inspires me."

SUPER BOWL CHAMPS ! 🏆🏆

6 SACKS 3 TURNOVERS 1 PICK-SIX DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS 😤

America, 2026

The stage is set. Lighting in green and blue @Seahawks colors to celebrate their NFC Championship win.

@bullyb170 Relax Akh! Seahawks all the way! We just beat the MVP, what makes you think we will struggle with a young QB.

What is happening in the Twin Cities and the Great North Star State is heartbreaking to witness. These events have cost lives and shaken families — and we must call for accountability, transparency, and protections for all people. This moment demands that we reflect honestly on what our values truly are. My thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with the families of Renée Good and Alex Pretti. I stand with the people of Minnesota.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
