She ain't even playin but still bitchin to refs 🙄 #WNBA #caitlinclark

All these non-basketball, so-called fans of the game that ain't gonna watch cuz clark ain't playin can go kick rocks! Her being out doesn't stop me from watchin - I watch it all regardless! This's basketball, not a Broadway show - you either a fan of women's basketball or not

The journey - the destination is already set, you know what it is and how it's gonna be, but getting there is more unpredictable so it requires a lotta instinct and smarts - that's when your personality can show itself and shine Thanks Nai ✌️

a. My purpose is to be an example for young people of a true Black man that has overcome some things but still driven to make it b. I feel purposeful when people come to me and ask for advice or just to sound off on what they're planning - makes me feel like I can make difference right here

The way I handle adversity, the strength I'm able to show when I need it most

The pain of my mother's abandonment

I hold too many grudges, and there's a lotta hate in my heart - it doesn't show but it's there, I can feel it

My dad, my sisters and my godson

I'm overcome all the time when my godson reaches another milestone in life - I think back to when I did these things and I'm so happy for him

"...it didn't require a bank statement to date a woman, all you needed was a job, your own car, your own place and nice smile."

My inner strength My love for my family My 2010 Los Angeles Laker Championship Ring

Simply going to the corner store - we used to not be able to do that Using your phone anywhere, anytime - using that house phone was a different way of life Access to all the knowledge you could ever want - as I get older, I see how much information we were closed off to in school

Donald Goines and Walter Mosely - Donald Goines showed me what a story is and Walter Mosely showed me how to write it

The ability to sustain the bullshit white people feel they can still throw at us

My life is showing that we are better than what was thought of us 50-60 years ago by taking advantage of all the advancements that have come along

Upfrontness and integrity - not just to tell the truth but honesty in everything you do

A non-descript storefront in between a Sally's Beauty Supply and UPS Store in a regular-ass strip mall - you never know how good it is until you go inside

a. Dedication is your commitment to something - doesn't matter what it is, dedication is putting your heart and soul into it b. I work 2 full time jobs and I'm never late to either of'em my dedication to being at work is applied and displayed daily

TV or Movies, sports, any form of entertainment that I can lose myself in to settle everything down

Finishing what I start - big project or simple daily tasks, I love that feeling of completion

Travelling - the places we see on social media are awesome but getting there ain't no picnic - when I went to Mazatlán a few yeas back I spent almost as much time on the car ride from the airport to my hotel as I did on the plane ride to Mexico itself - once I was in it was beautiful tho

I'm known for being the only one of us that still plays ice hockey
