Most people will remember Kobe as the magnificent athlete who inspired a whole generation of basketball players. But I will always remember him as a man who was much more than an athlete.

Barbara Walters never flinched when questioning the world’s most powerful people. She held them accountable. She cared about the truth and she made us care too. Fortunately, she inspired many other journalists to be just as unrelenting. We are all better off because of her.

An NBA championship is never just won, it is earned through the pain of endless practice, inevitable losses, and unexpected injuries. Only the strongest prevail. Today a new Golden light shines over the NBA world. Congratulations, Champs. Well deserved. @warriors @StephenCurry30.

Seeing my teammate @magicjohnson enjoying the Dodgers victory brought me to tears & all the emotions of 1988 came flooding back when we were back to back champions in June & Oct of 88! ♥️ LA Does this mean that Magic is no longer a Detroit Tigers fan ? Lol !

Anthony Davis is the player that I mostly resemble but I never shot 3 pointers like he does. However all other aspects of his game are similar to mine.
@kaj33 @Bucks @fswisconsin Who would you say in today’s game most emulates your style of play?.#AskKareem.

The reason Jerry West is the logo for the NBA is because he embodied the qualities we admire in our best athletes: skills as a player, dedication as a teammate, and integrity as a person. He was my coach, and my advisor, but mostly he was my friend. Today, a part of the continent

Hey Earvin - I would have to agree as my college years were incredible but playing for The Lakers and having you as my teammate was a G.O.A.T friendship.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/Lew Alcindor is decisively the undisputed GOAT of college basketball! During his 3 years at UCLA he led the Bruins to an 88-2 record, won 3 National Championships, was 3X National College Player of the Year, AND was 3X NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player.

David Stern enabled the surge in the NBA’s worldwide popularity as much as any player on the court & sent the game around the world. He had a passion for the game, for the league, & for the players that we’ve all loved & enjoyed. He will be missed,but not forgotten @NBA

I’m going deep with my thoughts on what’s it like to be black in America.
"It's a moment of clarity. That video of Mr. Floyd's murder, people now can see what it's like to be a black American. It was a very horrible crystallization of our experience." @kaj33 shares his thoughts on racial injustice and the protests across the country with @geeter3.

I met MLK when I was a high school journalism student. His courage, conviction & compassion changed my life. He made me realize that good people don’t sit by & allow injustice to exploit marginalized people. We are only as good as we treat the most vulnerable among us. #MLKDay

great question! Without a doubt Lebron, and The Lakers would be the right team.
@kaj33 @Bucks @fswisconsin @kaj33 if you could have one player from today’s NBA be transported back in time to one of your teams - who would it be and what team would you add them to?.

Every Black celebrity knows that, whether they like it or not, they represent the entire Black community. Sadly, despite admirable accomplishments as an athlete, OJ Simpson was not able to live up to that responsibility. His life is a reminder of how quickly one’s legacy can.

Been there - done that & played at the highest levels. Today’s @NBA players never had to deal with the effects of commercial travel on their bodies. I’m all for @WNBA players getting equal rights. Congrats Breanna for raising this issue.
I would love to be part of a deal that helps subsidize charter travel for the entire WNBA. I would contribute my NIL, posts + production hrs to ensure we all travel in a way that prioritizes player health + safety, which ultimately results in a better product. Who’s with me?.

@donlemon Don - we know your heart was in the right place. I think you were referencing women being in their prime during their “reproductive years”. Women are always in their “prime” because in my opinion, they get stronger, more courageous and more beautiful as they get older.
