LeBron is 35 years old.
playing back to backs...
still leading the league in assists while giving us 30 point triple doubles...
team is no. 1 in the West...
at this point if you still don’t respect his game, idk if we can ever be friends. Lol

But lowkey the real question here is: with this being more than the WNBA max salary, would women be allowed to hoop in the GLeague? because I think some of us could hang. Asking for a friend. 💯✊🏿 😂
The NBA plans to offer a "professional path" to the G-League with select $125K salaries to players as an alternative to the one-and-done college route, ESPN's

I’ve got news: pressing pause on playing ball this season was tough, but sometimes taking a step back can lead to an unexpected step forward.

Over the last year, we’ve witnessed: US Women’s Soccer & Hockey fight for fair pay, the WNBA stand for racial equality, and US Women’s Gymnastics deliver justice against sexual abuse.
Once again, female athletes are fighting for themselves because that is the only way. SO PROUD.

I’ll never forget after a workout a few years ago, my trainer asked me to stay and meet this high schooler who he believed was next up at Stanford… she ended our workout with a dunk.
It was Kiki Iriafen. Tonight she had 41 points and 16 rebs.

MUST WATCH: This is a perfect example of coaching!!! It’s not just the Xs and Os… it’s building the confidence of your players!
This was her FIRST career 3!!
You can see Dawn Staley making the final play (with no timeouts). She told Cardoso to move up to the foul line and pass to Paopao in the corner. But, right before the inbound, she gives Cardoso the green light to shoot it

Andrew Luck is one of the best people I’ve known, dating back to our high school days in Houston.
I also witnessed all the magic he brought to Stanford.
But as a comeback kid myself, I completely understand the toll that injuries can take on your mind, body& especially spirit.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is more than a success story.
He is living proof that there are many pathways to success... It doesn’t always have to be flashy or perfect.
Stay true to you, put in the work and anything is possible. ✊🏿
