Dude, I thought i was being PROFOUNDLY reasonable, especially to a stranger.

Thank you for making me feel sane 😂.

Thank you!

Also, google me. Because you’ll see pretty quickly everything I’ve said is true

Of course I see flaws in the system, but I also don’t recall Mark Cuban designing our healthcare system.

Should I not look for a solution for my illness because the system isn’t perfect? Should my son grow up without a physically present father?

My big motivator for seeking experimental care was to be a more active parent despite being disabled. And if in this current juncture given our country’s problems, a billionaire helped me do that, so be it.

And if you have a problem with me trying to get my life back, you are deeply troubled.

@mcuban.bsky.social Mark’s company allowed me access to multiple medications that my medical team was trying to get me on that insurance was denying. So I thanked him.

I’m not going to insult you or suggest things about you like you did me. But I will share one thing.

I ABSOLUTELY think there should be major healthcare reform AND a major wealth tax in our country. But that doesn’t change my current reality or the reality of other disabled people in a similar situation to me.

If you want to learn more about me, you’re welcome to DM me and we can chat about my beliefs, which I think would be nearly identical to yours. But I don’t exist for you to make talking points at my expense.

You are assigning my entire belief system and political ideology over a post in which i thanked someone who started a company that allowed me to get medicine that i couldn’t otherwise get.

Everything else you’ve attributed to me came from your imagination. You know nothing about me.

If I told you what I’ve had to go through to get adequate care over the last 3 years, you wouldn’t believe me. Or you would, which means I just empathize greatly with whatever you went through.

It is not just an inconvenience, it’s degrading.

No arguments here.

AAU isn’t about prestige—it’s about preparation.

Choose the people who will teach, challenge, and believe in you the most.

That’s the stuff that matters.

If you’re good enough, college coaches will find you.

But having the right mentors helps you become the player they’re looking for.

The best AAU programs give you mentorship.

Ask yourself three questions:

1️⃣ Does my coach understand where I fit at the next level?

2️⃣ Will they push me to be my best?

3️⃣ Are they networked enough to help me get seen when I’m ready?

In my research, college coaches rated the “prestige” of an AAU program just 4.25 out of 10 in importance.

They don’t care about the name on your jersey.

They care about how you play and who’s helping you grow.

This is true. But the first time you get an exponential score in that game emits the same feeling as winning the super bowl.

I can teach you Ballatro relatively quickly and you can develop content about your newfound addiction to a card-based video game.
