“The challenge of the era, it seems to me, is to learn to live into the uncertainty of it all, to become more suspicious of facile optimism or certain doom.”

I’m a Russ guy. Love that dude. Glad the Nuggets got him. Important to remember that this is a version of Russ that is well past his prime. Have to manage expectations. Not sure it works out. But if it does even reasonably well, the Nugs could be tough.

For a kid who grew up in my era and loved basketball, this song creates a physiologic response. Good to be back… x.com/nbcsports/stat…

Russ winning a title with Jokic is going be incredible.

I was in the building for this moment when Russ broke Oscar Robertson’s triple-double record and hit the game-winner. I was there with my mom who grew up in Cincinnati watching Oscar play. What a moment. Never thought he’d be a Nugget. Life is wild.

The world is learning about “non-Jokic” minutes…

1. Race is socially constructed, such that people’s construction of racial categories implicates questions of authenticity, prototypicality, and belonging. Recall, “Is Obama really Black?” It’s a real way people talk abt race. 2. Trump is a fool for trying this attack out. Wild!

I never thought I’d live to see the day where a Nuggets’ player would be so good that he would push this many buttons of fans and players alike. What a time to be alive.

I get this. Damn, do I get this.

But watch the video below, where he says these words and more aloud.....

One doesn’t have to say one went to a mostly white university. All one has to say is one went to a university. Hope that helps.

This clip of young Russ will always make me laugh. Dude has never adhered to proper scripts and prescriptions of behavior. It remains one of his best qualities.

Really excited to be a part of this event, “Leaning into Liberatory Practice: Bringing Love & Relationality Back Into Therapy.” It’s all virtual, and you can see all 5 days for the early bird rate of just $67. So many cool ideas to enliven your practice. reflectingonjustice.com/summit?affilia…
