“I’m cursed with this competitive gene. Anything that I do is from a competitive lens. In some ways, that keeps me young. It keeps me aggressively thinking positively. My appetite to prove myself as a kid created this competitive thing within me that has transcended and taken over everything that I do” - Michael Jordan

“One of the greatest freedoms you’ll ever give yourself is the courage to be disliked. Most people spend their lives trapped in the prison of other people’s opinions. Truth is: no matter what you do, someone will disapprove. You could play small to keep others comfortable and still be criticised. You could start living a life true to yourself and still be misunderstood. The question is not “Will they like me?” but “Am I living in a way that I can like myself?” Because the moment you stop outsourcing your worth to others, is the moment you discover a rare kind of peace: the kind that comes from knowing you’re finally living your life, not the version others wanted for you. Being disliked is a risk but being untrue to yourself guarantees regret.”

After last night’s win vs BBB, I’ve now eclipsed over 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists wearing a Dunk Dynasty jersey.

When I started this team back in 2021 I had a vision: I wanted a team that could stay together season after season, take it seriously and treat it like a semi-pro team and brotherhood that good basketball players and good people wanted to be a part of. I think we’ve done just that, and it’s been such a symbol of consistency across our lives. It gives us something to train for, take care of our bodies for, and an opportunity to set an example for the next wave of hoopers.

To some, it’s just a rec league team. To us, it’s a family. And I wouldn’t have wanted to hit these personal milestones wearing any other jersey.

Here’s to the next 1,000/500/500.

Stop Holding Ice Forever ❄️ Movement Matters 👟
Old advice like R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) may help symptoms but doesn’t actually speed healing and total rest or excessive ice may even slow recovery. The body’s inflammatory response after a sprain or strain starts the healing process by increasing blood flow and bringing healing cells to the injury site. Instead of immobilizing, gentle movement promotes circulation, prevents atrophy, and supports recovery as soon as pain allows.
🔥 Use ice sparingly for comfort, but don’t avoid movement once swelling and pain decrease.

“You’ll spend years explaining yourself to people who were never meant to understand you. Your ambition looks like obsession to people who settle. Your boundaries look like cruelty to people who exploit. The people who are supposed to get it, just do. Stop translating yourself.”
