Saw someone say, “The internet was once a library and they turned it into a store,” and if you’re young I don’t think you can imagine how different the web used to be.

CJ McCollum reveals he had to sneak into his high school gym to practice and was repeatedly kicked out, creating a strained relationship with the school until they eventually retired his jersey.
"It's a shame. I had to sneak into my own gym in high school. They would kick me out and stuff like that. I was like, I'm just trying to get better. I'm not breaking anything. I'm really just trying to work on my game."
"And I told them one day, when I'm in the NBA, you guys are going to want me to come back and do stuff for this school and I'm not going to do it."
"I've done some camps there, but since then I've kind of like I've kind of like stepped away for a little bit because it was disrespectful, but they've since retired my brother and I's jerseys and we've kind of like mended the relationship."
"But I shouldn't have had to do that as a kid. And it had a lot to do with my skin color, had a lot to do with a lot of things, but it just wasn't right."

Michael Jordan's two seasons in Washington get remembered as the asterisk. The numbers say something more interesting.
He came back at 38 to a team that went 19-63 the year before. With him in uniform in 2001-02, the Wizards went 30-30. Without him, 7-15.
That December he scored 6 against Indiana, his first single-digit game since the Bulls days, and the obituaries started. Two nights later he dropped 51 on Charlotte. The next game, 45 on New Jersey.
In 2002-03, at 39, he played all 82 games. He averaged 20.0 points and made the All-Star team. Four days after turning 40, he scored 43 on the Nets.
Over the two seasons: 21.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists. Both years the Wizards finished 37-45 and missed the playoffs.
The Wizards years didn't add to his legacy. They showed what it was made of. Take away the hops, the first step and the supporting cast, and what's left is the part that never needed any of them.
Nobody wants to go out on a 37-45 team. He chose to compete anyway. That's the whole story.

The more you work on yourself, the harder it becomes to deal with people who aren't working on themselves.
