Raised in Hampton, Virginia, he overcame early legal trouble to earn a second chance at Georgetown under John Thompson, emerging as one of the most electric players in college basketball and the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft.

Day 11: Allen Iverson
The NBA we are witnessing now is based off of Allen Iverson’s sacrifices. Long before individuality was celebrated, an undersized Iverson arrived in a league that demanded conformity.

Emma Raducanu retires from her match against Camila Osorio in Doha.
She had her blood pressure checked at the start of the 3rd set.
A few days ago, she reached her first final since the 2021 US Open.
She’s played a lot of tennis.
Hopefully she’s healthy for Dubai. 🇬🇧❤️🩹

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Simone Manuel made history in a pool that had never made space for someone like her. She won two gold medals and two silvers, but it was the 100-meter freestyle that shifted everything.

Who said Black people can’t swim? That tired lie dissolves the moment Simone “Swimone” Manuel enters the water. With every stroke, she dismantles a myth that has lingered far too long, one rooted not in truth, but in access denied and histories erased.

1981, James made history with the Buffalo Sabres, becoming the first Black American to play in the NHL. That moment mattered far beyond the number of games he played. It marked an opening in a league that had long resisted inclusion,even as it quietly relied on those willing to endure its hostility.

Day 7: Val James
Before the diversity shift, Val James was navigating a game that offered little welcome and even less protection. Born in Florida and raised in New York, he found hockey at the rink where his father worked, unaware that simply stepping onto the ice would one day make him a target.

I’ve often felt we don’t fully honor Black LGBTQ+ pioneers the way we should. Highlighting Sheryl Swoopes mattered to me—especially now, as the WNBA continues to grow—because her courage helped create the space so many athletes stand in today.

Long before women’s basketball received the visibility it commands today, Swoopes set the standard.At Texas Tech, she announced herself to the nation with a 47-point game in the 1993 NCAA championship game, leading her team to a national title and earning Final Four MVP honors.

AND the women who enable this power dynamic. Such as Ghislaine Maxwell.
At a related but less violent level, (often female) retail managers are more likely to hire "attractive" women.
This is what Black People mean when we say SYSTEMIC racism, except these things are SYSTEMIC sexism.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

To countless others and I, Bill is remembered not only as one of the greatest players to ever touch a basketball, but as a measure of what true leadership looks like when excellence meets integrity. Standing firm in your own beliefs even when it’s easier not to.

Bill Russell passed away on July 31, 2022, at the age of 88. If you look around the league now, you will notice that the No. 6 jersey is scarce. That’s because the NBA retired his No. 6 jersey across the entire league.

He was rarely embraced in the same way as his white teammates. Still, he never compromised his principles, understanding that leadership meant standing firm, even when it came at a personal cost.

Yet Russell’s influence extended far beyond basketball. An outspoken advocate for civil rights, he faced racism even as he delivered championship after championship (especially in a place like Boston, a city winning championships while struggling to confront its own racism).
