Day 17: Bubba Wallace
The first time many people who didn’t even follow NASCAR heard the name Bubba Wallace was in 2020, when news broke that a noose had been found in his garage stall at Talladega.

Day 16: Dawn Staley
A trailblazer in two arenas, breaking glass ceilings as both an elite player and one of the most influential coaches in women’s basketball history. Long before she became a championship-winning coach, Staley was a floor general who defined the game at every level she touched.

Day 15: Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens was already a prodigy by the time he qualified for the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but his performance turned him into an icon. Competing under the shadow of Hitler and Nazi ideology, he won 4 gold medals shattering records and humiliating white supremacy on its own stage.

Day 14: Claressa Shields
Claressa Shields has said that boxing is the only thing that ever loved her back. Her life is marked by instability, absence, and harm, the ring was the only place where her efforts directly translated into survival. Boxing didn’t lie to her, but more so didn’t abandon her.

Day 13: Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali was a boxer, activist, and cultural icon whose influence extended far beyond the ring. Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky, he discovered boxing at age 12 after his bike was stolen and he wanted to fight the thief.

Day 12: Allyson Felix
Prior to becaming the most decorated woman in U.S. track and field history, she was a lanky kid in Los Angelos, nicknamed “Chicken Legs,” stepping onto a track simply to prove she was stronger than she looked.

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.

Rafa Nadal says Alcaraz is not a prospect, he’s a legend:
“He’s not a prospect. He has 7 Slams so he’s not just a promise for the future. He’s already a legend. If you look at the historic greats in Slams there aren’t many who have 7. Calling him a prospect makes no sense”

Daniil Medvedev complaining about the balls during his match with Ugo Humbert in Rotterdam:
"The balls are made for people who love to please... people who love to please with a little bit of saliva. Just a bit."
