the Duke star out of the game in the first minute.

https://sports.yahoo.com/theyre-going-show-die-zion-williamsons-shoe-mishap-hurt-nike-044022904.html

Duke went on to lose at home the high profile game against a bitter rival. Williamson has a knee that may or may not cost him additional games.

By the way the university gets the money from the Nike endorsements.

because the player was injured. He will get paid to tell his story (or Nike will offer him enough to not tell it). If I was him I would shut down the NCAA career and start the shoe contract bidding process. Why play for nothing? No one would blame him at this point.

Not surprised PUMA pulled the tweet, but I am not surprised, there is no honor among companies in competition.

Inwould donate today to a campaign to erect a statue on the mall to our great president, who happened also to be the first African American president. He deserves a monument for being a great president and person, but also for the years of utter crap he was forced to endure at the hands of Mitch McConnell and his rabid, racist cohorts in Congress.

behind the Duke bench.

Same thing happened when he left that game with 1:10 remaining and
UNC up by 15 points. Another 3-4 minutes to get out.

wherever he goes.

A man who said what he was thinking in a manner that made people think about what he had just said without denigration. a CLASS ACT all the way.

Donald Trump will not get such receptions in public once he is out of office because he will more than likely be in prison. I can dream.

And the Trumpster fumes. LOL.

Regardless of how hard The Donald works to tear away President Obama's legacy, he can't destroy the admiration the man earned over 8 long years.

It pisses the Trumpster off, every day, every hour, every second. 'Where's my Nobel Prize?' he mutters.

Hope someone sends grumpy trumpy this video.

Hahahaha.
