Shaq caught wind of this 7-foot-3 kid in Kemah, Texas who powered through the police academy only to fall one point short on the state exam. His whole dream of becoming an officer looked like it was slipping away right there.
Then Shaq jumped in and covered the guy’s living expenses for the next five months so he wouldn’t have to juggle a second job and could zero in on passing that test. Because of that extra push, Jordan Wilmore got back in, nailed it, and just got sworn in as a Kemah police officer.

@KVanValkenburg@D_Benham But in the college system, education aside, there is such a strong fan base locally that former athletes can have professional careers in the communities in which they played. I think NIL will change that to a degree as athletes are spending fewer years in the same place
Platner drops out. Now Maine is going to let 600 Democrat party insiders pick the new candidate, replacing the guy that 156,000 people voted for. Just like the party kicked Biden to the curb and replaced him with Kamala. Tell me again which party is a threat to democracy.
This was the hottest take of them all from @SECcousinShane

This comes up every four years and I have some actual insight to this very phenomenon. In 2016, I profiled Josh Norman for ESPN the Mag. He was — at the time — inarguably one of the best corners in the NFL. He got invited by Zlatan to come watch a PSG game, so I tagged along as he went to Paris. We got to watch training a few days before the game, and at the end of training (practice for you Americans) the PSG guys invited Josh to jump in and play a bit.
Josh was an elite NFL corner and a huge soccer fan. He’d played some soccer as a kid too so he wasn’t just a novice.
It was comical how much the PSG guys had to slow things down to make it fun for him. It was like the scene in Friday Night Lights (the TV show) where the Panthers goof around and pretend to tackle little kids. That’s how elementary they had to make it. The tried to feed Josh to “score” a goal and it was almost condescending how much they had to pretend it was real soccer.
Afterwards, someone handed us an American football. In one of the most surreal experiences of my life, I spent 15 mins throwing passes to PSG players. It was equally comical. Honestly I’ve seen something as ridiculous as David Luiz trying to catch an American Football. It didn’t just bounce off his hands, it *exploded* off his hands.
At some point, the skills do not translate. You would need to live it from a young age. Americans love to tell themselves they could be good at soccer if they only cared.
Maybe they’d be better if they started young enough, but I’m not convinced it would be 6-3 WRs and there is no chance it would be LeBron or Kobe or anyone 6-8; there is a reason the best soccer players world wide are mostly under 6 feet.
Either way, plugging “athletes” in and arrogantly assuming they’d thrive at soccer would never ever work.
Division 2 cornerbacks are more athletic than anyone involved in the World Cup. If Russell Westbrook had 6 months of practice he’d be the greatest Soccer player to ever live.
