VJ Edgecombe said he tried to model his game from Dwyane Wade growing up: “I just grew up watching the Miami Heat — he was on the team, he’s a really great player. Growing up I was trying to model myself after him…I love Dwyane Wade, I love what he did for Miami.” (via @Timmaaay_)

NEW: Alabama is farming out incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s & Wendy’s. The state takes 40% of wages and often denies parole to keep people as cheap labor. Getting written up can lead to solitary confinement. This is modern day slavery.

learning that the director for the Mets' broadcasts is a huge film nerd is so cool. guy will just put random shots that look like this mid-game because he's a DePalma fan. dudes rock so hard.

Robert Horry wanted to come back to the Spurs while his daughter was in the hospital. Gregg Popovich said no. “Family is the most important thing.” Pop just retired, but stories like this show why he’s always been more than a coach. 🖤
