1/Tonight, for the 17th time in the last 50 years, the #StanleyCup champion returns to defend their crown. This time, the #TBLightning are going for that rare feat - a three-peat and #dynasty status.
2/Three-peats and dynasties themselves are relatively rare. Below is a tour of the dynasties from the last 50 years starting with the 1974 Oakland #Athletics completing a three-peat with a 4-1 win over the #Dodgers with this home run.
3/ In 1979, the #CanadiensMTL completed their second four-peat, winning 4-1 over the New York Rangers. #StanleyCup #Dynasty

1. Lebron

18 year, the kid from Akron was offered up to $100m from #Reebok

AND $10m signing (check handed to him), but he couldn't meet w/ others.

He refused the deal and went back to school the next day. 🎒

Eventually signing with $NKE.
He felt $NKE could offer him more.

Nike and him partnered on over 19 shoes already and he signed a lifetime deal in 2016 worth over $1b.

"Signing with Nike," LeBron said in 2018, "is the best business decision I've ever made."

🥩BEEF: #Kobe, #Wagyu, #Prime - THREAD 🔥

- Where do they come from?
- Is one better than the other?
- Do they taste different?
- What’s my choice? Image
First of all - Kobe, Wagyu & Prime are CLASSES of beef, not types of COWS...

There are too many varieties of cattle to mention here.

Examples: Angus, Jersey, Highland, Holstein, Hereford, Simmental and 1000 more.

Ok? Image
Second - Kobe, Wagyu & Prime are not CUTS of beef...

Cuts refer to things like:

Ribeye, New York, Filet Mignon, Flank, Tri-tip, Skirt, Flat Iron, Porterhouse, etc...

Ok? Image

A 10 años del #Terremoto2010 ocurrido en el Centro de #Chile, no tan solo cambió nuestra geografía, sino que fue objeto de estudio, avance #científico y #conocimiento en #sismología de terremotos.

En conmemoración del #megaterremoto, va el ➡️ #megaHILO 🇨🇱 sobre el #27F
Aunque ... ¿Qué sabíamos antes de este terremoto? ➡️ durante dos campañas de mediciones GPS entre 1996-1999, ya se conocía q entre #Concepción-#Constitución la región estaba madura para q ocurriera un gran sismo.
¡El último había ocurrido en 1835!, el famoso terremoto de #Darwin
Así, un grupo del @Dgf_uchile mostró que en esa zona habrían movimientos de 4 cm/año hacia el Este ➡️ nos acercábamos poco a poco a Argentina.
Miren las flechas apuntando hacia la derecha, son 13 estaciones GPS que se estaban moviendo en esa dirección, hasta #Santiago se movía!

1. Today I’m switching from my E-11A investigation to update you on the latest findings from the @NTSB concerning the S-76B crash that killed #KobeBryant, his daughter Gianna & 7 others. Below is the latest media briefing from the investigation team.
1b. HEADLINES:

•- No Flight Data Recorder (FDR) or Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) on the S-76B that crashed.
•- no Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS).
•- impact point was 1085ft Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL).
•- pilot lost comms w/ ATC at 2300ft AMSL (AMSL not specified).
2. NTSB BRIEF:

Key info from brief. I’ll also provide questions/analysis in response.

PILOT

as of July 2019, the pilot had:

•- 8200hrs total (so more hours at time/date of crash)
•- 1250hrs on type (S-76).

A very experienced pilot. I flew 2500hrs over a 20yr career.

#Developing: The @NTSB says they are looking for photos of the WEATHER in the area of the deadly crash involving #Kobe and 8 others. Send to Witness@ntsb.gov.

They are using drones to map the wreckage and visited the scene today. ImageImage
I asked the @NTSB is there was a Black Box recovered — there was NO black box on board. They say it is not required on this aircraft.

A black box would have recorded all flight data like altitude, position and speed, which could have helped investigators. Image
Sheriff @LACoSheriff says people keep trying to access the crash site where #Kobe and 8 others were killed. It will now be a misdemeanor for those who trespass in the area.

The sheriff’s office is patrolling the terrain by horseback. @ABC7

Non mi unirò al coro, perché per me non eri e non sarai mai il più grande di tutti.
I 5 titoli, i due ori alle olimpiadi, le 18 apparizioni all'ASG (di cui 4 MVP), le 11 nominees all'NBA First Team e tutti gli altri traguardi
scompaiono di fronte agli 11 titoli di Bill Russell, alla carriera finita quasi in tripla doppia da Magic Johnson e al predominio sul campo esercitato da quello che era il tuo mentore, MJ.

Dünden beri #KobeBryant'la ilgili bu tweetleri atıp atmamakta kararsızdım. Ancak, Washington Post muhabiri F. Sonmez'in onun tecavüzle suçlanması ve sonrasında yaşananlarla ilgili tweetleri nedeniyle gördüğü tepki ve işten uzaklaştırılması üzerine bu zinciri yazmaya karar verdim
Burada spor ve cinsiyetçilik üzerine ortaklaştığım insanların dahi #KobeBryant'ın ardından söyledikleri, onun "zeki, çevik ve ahlaklı" sporculuğu üzerine övgüleri bir kadın olarak, cinsel şiddet mağdurlarının yaşadıklarının unutuluyor olduğunu göstermesi açısından sarsıcıydı >
Ölmüş bir insanın arkasından konuşmamamız gerektiğini söyleyenleri hayatım boyunca ciddiye almadım. Örneğin Kenan Evren'in arkasından konuşmamalıyız, çünkü öldü diyen birini ciddiye almadığım gibi Kobe'nin arkasından da neden sadece övgüler düzmeliyiz anlamıyorum >

Quando il gigante arrivò a Los Angeles, subito si guardarono in cagnesco. Quello era il suo stagno, ma il gigante non era abituato a sentirsi secondo violino: era già quello che molti consideravano il centro più dominante della storia del gioco.
E non era abituato neanche a essere rimbrottato da un "piccoletto" quando in partita e negli allenamenti non dava il massimo. Quello era il suo stagno, ma, diamine!
Non ci sta, si ribella, ma quello non indietreggia di un passo, anzi, a ogni protesta, si fa avanti a spronarlo.
Il gigante capisce così che quella non sarà un'avventura come quelle vissute finora e come quelle che ancora vivrà. E capisce, soprattutto, che lui e il piccoletto sono fatti della stessa stoffa. Sono due vincenti, due leader (i maligni dicono due prime donne).
