Former NBA player Shane Battier shares how his most impactful moments didn’t come from scoring points but rather from small, underrated actions that helped his team win — and why prioritizing “we” over “me” can create a lasting legacy, both on and off the court.

      In a system that ask you to hate, look down on, oppress “the bad guys”, we are not letting others shine. Its like showing up to a waste plant looking to find shiny stuff. Our governing system is legislated to make waste.
      Don’t believe me?
      -Largest Prison population on the planet. We beat counties with 3-4x our population. Per Capita we far exceed any other country.
      -Are jails and prisons are NOT a “correctional facility”. Yes, is the worlds BEST networking system. One is put in the same place with all forms of others undesired behavior…and you get to KNOW them for months/years. WE LITERALLY manufacture crime in our system.

      I can go on, but if you are receptive and considerate you already know. Everyone else just makes excuses.
      Making other shine, if done wrong in a system of oppression/lies/excuses, feels like someone is blowing smoke up your rear end.
      No Im not being negative, to shine you also need to know the streets are intentionally made into mud.

      The NBA has the best players so it makes sense. and every basketball player around the world wants to make it in the NBA. Plus there are a lot of international players in the NBA.

The Experiment That Tried to Weigh the Human Soul
