He wanted to play against me so bad and he come over and said Larry please come in the game.. The 1992 Barcelona Olympics wasn't just a tournament; it was a global coronation for the "Dream Team." Opposing players didn't care about the scoreboard—they just wanted a piece of history. As Larry Bird recalls, guys knew they were going down by 60 points, but they were still lining up for photos and jerseys. Even the legendary Oscar Schmidt of Brazil begged a sidelined Bird to check into the game just so he could be scored on by the Legend himself. This is the story of how 12 icons turned the Olympics into a world tour.

This is something that 95% of crypto twitter could benefit from hearing: > CZ didn't make his first million until he was 39 > He didn't launch Binance until he was 40 > You can work/learn/fail for a decade and still win Crypto is the one of the only places left where it's possible to make it overnight. But that doesn't mean you should hyper-focus on it. Play the long game, you have time.

This guy claims Larry Silverstein is both the dumbest and luckiest businessman. - 6 weeks before 9/11 he gets the lease for the Twin Towers. They only require $1.5 billion in insurance but he takes out over $3.5 billion of insurance. - He never misses work and just happened to miss that day. You all think this is a coincidence or do you think he knew something?

Klay Thompson ranks his top 5 greatest 3-point shooters of all time “Steph Curry: Obviously, you got to say Steph. 4,200 makes at a 42% clip is ridiculous, especially with all the volume” “Ray Allen: He was the all-time leader for so long until Steph took over. But just Ray's ability to shoot off the move with the ball in his hands. And that shot he had in the 2013 NBA Finals, that was one of the greatest shots in league history” “Reggie Miller: I love watching Reggie's highlight tape, especially his game winning highlight tape. Reggie was fearless, and he was, I'd say, the first real player to really use the three point line as his main weapon” “Larry Bird: It's hard not to say Larry because although he didn't shoot the volume of threes, he was so efficient in his shooting. He's a 50-40-90 guy. I think he won three 3-Point Contests and even did one with his warm up jacket on” “Dirk Nowitzki: His 2011 run, look at his shooting numbers. They're insane. He shot 45% from three for the whole playoffs. I'm going to go with those five. I'm not going to put myself in there”

Elon Musk when starting his first company, he didn't even rent a apartment • He slept on a couch in a small rented office and showered at the YMCA • With only one computer available, the website ran during the day, and he spent his nights coding • He worked every single waking hour, seven days a week Everyone wants the reward, but few are willing to define what working "super hard" actually looks like A simple math: If your competition works 50 hours a week and you work 100, you will accomplish twice as much in a single year

Gradey Dick on Jamal Shead: “He’s amazing. He wants everyone to succeed.” “He has our backs, he has my back, and I have his. When you have a point guard like that, it’s super motivational, and see the work that he puts in every single day.” “People don’t talk about enough about his selflessness. He wants everyone to win.” “I had just missed a shot, and he was one of the first guys that came up to me and said ‘just stay right there.’” “He’s amazing.”

🚨 stop scrolling.. do you understand what just happened at the White House today.. the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft didn't show up to the White House championship visit.. Fernando Mendoza.. Heisman winner.. the most important rookie in the 2026 draft class.. chose Raiders practice over a photo op.. and Trump stood on the South Lawn and said "he is actually a big fan of what we are doing".. based on a phone call.. from a 22-year-old who was trying to be polite about a scheduling conflict.. and here's the part nobody's connecting.. Mendoza didn't say he was a fan.. he said he couldn't make it.. those are two completely different sentences.. and one of them just got turned into a political endorsement without the guy's consent.. you do this at your job and it's a misquote.. you do it from the South Lawn and it becomes a headline.. the man didn't show up.. and he still got drafted into a political statement he never made. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

"He wanted his life back. He didn't want to have to work on holidays. He didn't want to be away from more family gatherings. He didn't want to have to...take a shower with your phone up against the shower door so you can see a text that's coming in, or take your phone with you to the urinal and hold it in one hand while you take care of your business in the other. That's the life that we live." - Adam Schefter on Woj's retirement

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on Ethan Nwaneri: "On the pitch, he didn't because a lot happened in Marseille. But when you just stand in front of him, you sense the maturity and he looks like a different man. The experience on paper, it wasn't ideal but I think he went through something that is going to help him a lot in his career."

WORK ETHIC vs. WANT ETHIC: "Next time you're watching a game and one player makes a play over another player, listen for the announcer to say, "Oh! He just wanted it more!" Then ask yourself this: Was the level of 'want' really the difference why one player made the play and the other didn't?! Or did one of those players plan better, jump higher, use better technique, see more clearly, and build better skill? Did he want it more in the moment or did he prepare a little better and when that moment arrived he performed a little better? You think that the other player didn't want it? Didn't want to make the play? Was the difference between those two athletes their level of want?! No way. It wasn't want. It was work! Getting in shape requires consistent workouts, not frequent want-outs. You earn in alignment with the quality of your work, not the quality of your want. You can build a life on a work ethic but you can't build anything on a want ethic. Working hard is studying, prepping, reps, reflection, feedback, and responsibility for the results that you produce. It's late nights and early mornings. It's uncommon effort and it's choosing to push harder when you could relax. Wanting hard? Well, that's what everyone else does. Everything is training for something. Do the work.”

Sophie Cunningham was locked in at practice, all business, all intensity—until Blake Shelton casually walked in like he owned the gym. For a second, she just stared. Not because she didn’t know who he was… but because nobody expects a country superstar to show up courtside while you’re mid-drill. Then came that grin. You could see the exact moment her competitive edge collided with full-on disbelief. One second she’s focused on reps, the next she’s laughing like the whole practice just turned into the most random crossover episode ever. And Blake? Completely unfazed. He stepped in like this was the most normal thing in the world—just another day dropping into a pro athlete’s workout. Sophie’s reaction said it all: half starstruck, half amused, and 100% unforgettable. Because when country music meets elite basketball energy, you get a moment nobody in that gym was expecting 🤠🏀✨ Some guest appearances change the vibe instantly… this one rewrote the whole practice. Who would’ve had the bigger reaction—you or Sophie?

Players always talk about moving on to the next shot. I asked Chet Holmgren how hard it is to do that in the moment and how he did it tonight: “I just feel like never be afraid of failure. If you miss a shot, you miss a shot. But you’re not gonna never shoot a shot again in your career. You’re gonna have to shoot a shot again at some point, so why not now?”

junkyu’s tmi! he finally finished working on a song that he worked on for over a year & a half yesterday! he didn’t get to finish working on it for over a year & a half, but he did it eventually! instead of feeling burnout, he just thought that he strayed far away naturally from working on a song. it’s not like it’s hate or love, but he naturally have something else to focus on other than composing for over a year & a half. he also mentions that the most fascinating thing is that, as time passes, while making a lot of memories with teumes overseas, there’s a lot of new ideas coming in & he gets to organise his thoughts, instead of always just staying at his house/or being in the space that he’s currently in for a year & a half. recently, he was in his studio for the last 3 weeks since there was a situation where he had no choice but to go back there. he said that he gained a lot of things from that situation & is really thankful for the reality. so when he arrived back in Korea, he wrote everything right away as soon as he got in his studio. when he finally completed one song after a very long time, he thought, “right, this kind of excitement”, “I fell in too deeply when it’s related to composing.”

NEW: A witness who was at the McDonald's where Luigi Mangione was caught, says he and a friend joked at Mangione that he looked like the New York sh**ter. McDonald’s customer, Larry, said he and a friend were joking so loud that Mangione could hear them. "One of my friends, and I thought he was kidding when the sh**ter... who they made the arrest on came in, he made a comment: 'Well, that looks like the shooter from New York.'" "But the group of us thought it was more of a joke and we were kidding about it. But then as it turned out, it was him." Larry says he didn't think much of it and left the restaurant to go to church. It wasn't until later that he realized he was joking about the actual sh**ter.

𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝟒𝟎 𝐈𝐧 𝐀𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬 👀 Some of you kids disrespect Larry Legend. Here's a history lesson for how great he was: Did you know Bird almost quit basketball? 🤔 After his freshman year in Indiana Larry was overwhelmed by the massive campus and had financial struggles so he dropped out. He went home, doing odd jobs around town for income. Coach Bill Hodges (Indiana State) went to Bird and convinced him to give his basketball dream a chance again. He found Bird working on a garbage truck and challenged him, “Want to hang off a garbage truck forever?” Days later, Bird arrived at an ISU scrimmage in jeans, a T-shirt, and work boots. Hodges offered him sneakers and shorts, but Bird said, “No, I play better in this,” then scored 40 points. His brother later confirmed Bird does actually play BETTER in that outfit 🥾 Bird signed with Indiana State, as a senior led them to an undefeated season, and reached their first national title game, losing to Magic Johnson’s Michigan State 🏆 Imagine no Bird and Magic rivalry, that rivalry saved a dying NBA. If Hodges never convinced Larry to come back to the sport we might have no NBA today 😮 Or imagine if Larry could’ve worn jeans in the NBA, maybe he has a few extra titles😏 (hoopsciety IG)
