This old quote from Hank Aaron in The NY Times obituary just left me speechless. I had not seen this before. pic.twitter.com/Wdoj5li3Vy

As a child, Hank Aaron hid under his bed when the KKK stormed through his neighborhood.
As an 18 year old, he left Mobile, Alabama with two sandwiches and two dollars.
He retired as baseball’s home run king and died today a hero. So inspiring.

I guess it was just those two guys who “mobbed” him on his way around the bases. But I can picture an actual mob in my mind!

zach lavine the playmaker is a thing. he’s averaging about the same number of passes per game (40.6, up from 39.4 last year), but his potential assists have gone from 8.5 to 11.1. the bulls are shooting 39.7% on 3s off his passes (38.3% otherwise). his jump dimes are kinda fun. pic.twitter.com/tpbWNkZ6zj
