WARNING : I'm just an addict ... addicted to music. There are people who are born to make music, o8 thers are born to hearing. Whenever was part of this second group. Maybe it's. a habit, I gotta use, even if it 's rock, jazz or the quiet storm. Great pictures of the things I love - music, painting, books, photography, architecture, design, women, and more. I love music more than lasagna. Better to burn out than fade away. The older you get, the better life gets. But time also seems to be accelerating, the clock running too fast. So, looking at those early days, everything is very slow, stretched, and great significance. The most recent time, I spent busy with simple things.People think rock and roll is only about teenage rebellion, but why can not exist old rebel too?

Gosto de pessoas originais, com humor,com ideias próprias... e com classe. Não gosto de carinho quando estou nervoso.Gosto do campo. Não gosto de seguir a onda.Gosto de coisas pouco claras, mas bem esclarecidas. Gosto de dominar. Não gosto de brincar com os sentimentos dos outros.Gosto de toques e de trocas de olhar, de demonstrações de carinho e de cenas sensuais. Não gosto de ficar bêbado até dizer a verdade. Gosto da grandeza das coisas simples, e gosto de coisas complicadas mas não gosto de complicações... O comum não me atrai, gosto normalmente de coisas que passam despercebidas... Gosto de gostar e de não gostar de tudo isto e muito mais...

England Do you like to drink tea? I only drink iced tea and only the artificial kind, so I don’t think that even counts as tea. My tongue never did adapt well to traditional ones. Do you like to put sugar in your tea? I like my iced tea super sweet if that counts. Have you ever explored an ancient castle? No but it would be interesting to enter one! If you're a Christian, are you Catholic or Protestant? I was baptized and still legally Catholic. Philippines is predominantly Catholic, with 80% of the population; I don’t how the % of Protestants, but it’s definitely a much smaller bit of the pie since the rest of the religions are divided into different Christian denominations, then Islam. Do you live in a big house? It’s definitely bigger than my childhood home, so that’s more than enough.

Are there a lot of seagulls where you live? I don’t think seagulls fly over to this side of the world? Correct me if I’m wrong though. Do you have a garden? Only a very small one. Name something you own with the British flag on it. Probs an old UK-themed notebook lying around, but I’m not sure if I still even have those or if they already got thrown out. What's your favorite part of London? I dunno. London always seemed like such a hectic city for me and I’ve never really had an idea about its identity. If you've been to England, what was your favorite city you've visited? If applicable, what is/was your favorite store in London? I’m not sure I know any London-based stores. Have you ever been lost in London? Nope. Would you say your personality is British? Do you think you'd fit in there? I’d say my personality is the furthest thing from that since I’ve never been submerged in their local culture. I don’t know if I would fit in; a lot of them seem pretty short-tempered lmao. Do you have English ancestors, or are you from England? I’m positively -60% English. Ireland What is one of your favorite celtic songs? I don’t know anything about Irish history/culture other than Becky Lynch, Sheamus, and Niall Horan. I’m laying that out this early. Do you have red hair? Absolutely not. Are you Irish? No Irish blood in my system at all.

Name 5 redheads that you know. Becky Lynch x2.5, Sheamus x2.5 lmao. Who in your family is/was a redhead? Nobody. If you've been to Ireland, what was your favorite city you visited? I haven’t been to Ireland but I would rather take a trip there than to London definitely. Did you have any bad experiences in Ireland? Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? No but Western social media shoves it in my face every year. I have no idea what it’s about other than they turn the Chicago River green. Do you like Irish food? I don’t know much about their food actually :o I don’t think there are places that serve it. What's one thing you like about ancient cathedrals? The fact that millions of lives with different experiences, all in different contexts have come and gone within them. Do you like rolling hills of green? ...I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you just talking about hills? Because yes, hills are fine with me lmao. Do you like bagpipes? No. All this question gave me was the image of Ross Geller playing them on a Friends episode because he wanted to surprise Chandler and Monica on their wedding. If you're Irish, what part of Ireland is your family from? Do you like English accents or Irish accents better? I like both but I find English ones a wee bit more satisfying to listen to. China What is your Chinese zodiac sign? Tiger. ^Do you like it? Do you feel it fits your personality? I don’t give a shit about it. Do you like your American zodiac sign or Chinese zodiac sign better? I don’t give a shit about either, either. Do you like Chinese food? LOOOOOOOVE good ol’ family-style Chinese food. None of that fake Chinese takeout. List three of your favorite Chinese foods. Minced pork with eggplant, century eggs, spring rolls. Are you familiar with the topic of footbinding? I do. We were taught about it from very early on. What are your favorite books about the Chinese? I don’t really read books about the Chinese. I’ve read readings on Chinese history in high school and college–which I all enjoyed–but I’m not passionate about them enough to pick a favorite. Do you know anyone Chinese? I know a lot of them. Philippines has a very large Chinese Filipino/Filipino Chinese community thanks to their mass migrations way way back–they’ve since heavily integrated their native culture to the country, so we have a lot of Chinese restaurants and Filipinos typically love Chinese food, and we also (by law) celebrate Chinese New Year. There are also a lot of private schools established for kids of Chinese descent. Who is your favorite Chinese youtuber? I don’t have any. Have you ever cooked Chinese food at home? Not me because I don’t cook. My grandma and my dad have. Are you familiar with the Great Chinese Famine? Only a bit. Do you wish your school would teach you about other countries' history? It already does! UP’s very fortunate to have a very well-endowed history department: there are courses for West, East, Southeast, and South Asian, Latin American, United States, European, Spanish, and African history. We ain’t the top school in the country for nothing. Would you ever want to go to China? I already have. The old people there are SO rude and their sense of hygiene and manners is so different from what we have :( I’d still want to go back just for shits and giggles but their people are generally meh. Do you have any Chinese in your family? We do but they aren’t related to us anymore. The relatives who are Chinese are those who married into our family, but my family per se isn’t Chinese. Japan Do you like sushi? I’m fucking craaaaaaaazy about sushi. And sashimi. ^If so, what are your favorite kinds? Any kind as long as the main part is tuna, unagi (eel), or uni (sea urchin). What is your favorite manga series? I don’t read manga. Do you love Japanese street fashion? I appreciate it, but it’s too...hip for me hahaha. I’d stick to my preppy wardrobe. What color hair would you have as an anime character? Light pink maybe. Are you aware of the struggles of Japanese Americans during World War 2? Admittedly, not so sure about the situation of Japanese-Americans; but in general, the Japanese were unnecessarily big fucking bullies throughout WWII. They don’t even have the balls to say sorry completely until today. As a Filipino (PH was one of the countries it essentially raped head to toe), this continues to make me angry today. What is your favorite Japanese name? I don’t have. Do you like bonsai trees? They’re cool but I’m not like gaga over them. What's one thing you think Americans should adopt from the Japanese? Intelligence? Have you ever listened to Jpop? No. Do you like Hello Kitty? No. But my sister loves everything Sanrio. What is something you want to know about the Japanese? Why they can’t seem to apologize for their war crimes and criminals and and sex slavery and using of comfort women and cases of rape, torture, and abuse in my country. Do you know anyone who's Japanese? Yeah, I had a classmate from last sem whose last name was Mizushima and looked Japanese. Would you ever want to go to Japan? I already have. The people were very nice. Australia Do you have blonde hair? No trace of blonde anywhere on me.

Do you live near a beach? I live in an archipelago, so technically yes. The nearest beaches are still 3 hours away though. Do you surf? Nah. We’ve been to so many beach resorts that offer basic surfing lessons, but ultimately it’s only my dad, mom, and sister who try it out. I have bad balance so I was always too scared to try. Who is your favorite Australian youtuber? I like Jamie Zhu, but only the videos of him pranking his dad. I haven’t seen any of his other material. Do you watch The Norris Nuts? Never even heard of it. Who is your favorite Australian fictional character? I don’t know a lot of Australian characters other than Hi-5!!! Lmao. What is your favorite song by Hillsong? Fuck no. Have you ever tried to surf? See a few questions above. Do you skateboard? Nope. I can’t balance well other than on the ice skating rink. Have you ever been on an island? I live on an island. Do you live on an island? Yes. A country with 7,641 islands. Do you like Australian accents or British accents better? British ones. Have you ever heard the term, "Crikey, mate!" No...I’ve only ever heard of it stereotyped in the media, too. Is there any Australian here who can confirm if people say this everyday lol Have you ever met anyone from Australia? I probably have but my memory is rusty at the moment. Africa Do you know anyone from Africa? Yeah, I have a mutual friend who’s Nigerian.

Are you familiar with the War on Sudan? A little. I got most of my knowledge of it from my international relations class. Do you own an Invisible Children shirt? I don’t. Have you been to Africa? No, but I want to pay a visit so bad. What's your favorite wild animal? Elephants. Do you prefer dancing or drumming? Neither, but if I absolutely had to pick: drumming. Do you have good rhythm? Not at all. Would you ever want to go to Africa? Yes. What is a great African song? I don’t know any. Have you ever tried African dancing? Nope. Do you own any African jewelry? I don’t. Ever danced to "Waka Waka"? I never did like that song. No. What's the furthest you've ever walked in one day? Probably that time we were in Bali and felt like we walked for 7 days. It was soooooooo humid that day so I was really cranky after. Do you live in a mud hut? No. Mexico List 3 of your favorite Mexican foods. I’m not big on Mexican food that much so I’m sorry if my picks are a little basic haha. I like chimichangas, burritos, and nachos. List 3 Mexican names you like. Ines, Luis, Antonio. List 3 people you know who are Mexican. I only know wrestlers...Eddie Guerrero, Chavo Guerrero, Gory Guerrero? Aka members of the best Mexican wrestling family there ever is, was, and ever will be. Have you ever been to Mexico? I haven’t. Would you ever want to go to Mexico? I would love to go to every possible spot in the world at least once, so it’s a yes for me. Do you think you could handle being around people all the time? ...How is this related to Mexico lmao? Anyway no I don’t think I can. I’m a huge introvert so I’m bound to get tired some time. Do you like spicy food? I love it but only when the spicy factor is integral to the food, like in curries or in spicy dips. I can always tell if spiciness is artificial. How do you do with crowds? I’m alright with crowds as long as people are not screaming all at the same time and if it’s not super compressed. Is it hot where you live? Very hot at the moment. There are places in the country with actual heat indices of 65ºC. HOW IS THAT REAL LIFE????? Do you like bright colors? I hate them so much. Can you speak Spanish? No but I can understand the contexts of some sentences and have what I’d say is an extensive Spanish vocabulary. Makes sense if you consider the fact that the Philippine was under Spain for 333 years. The effects, especially language- and religion-wise, are still very very strong today. Have you ever been to a fiesta? Yup. I was once part of a parade. Ever smacked a pinata? Nah we never used those for my birthdays. What's your favorite thing to order at Taco Bell? I don’t get Taco Ball because the branches that do exist are sooooo faaaaar away from where I live and from where I study. The Middle East Are you Muslim? Nope. Do you know any Muslims? I don’t know anyone personally but it’s not unusual to see Muslims around here. Do you know anyone who wears hijab? Again, not personally. What are some of your favorite books about Muslims? Ever been to a desert? I wish the Philippines could count as a desert lmao but no I haven’t. Would you want to ride a camel? Is that ethical? I gotta make sure it’s a green-lit thing first. Did you watch the show Legends of the Hidden Temple? I was obsessed with it when I was younger. It was on every 5:30 AM, so it was the program I watched everyday while preparing for school. Korea Have you read To All the Boys I've Loved Before? Please don’t mention that stupid book/movie. ^Have you seen the movie? Did you know that North Korea is closed? I mean, it’s not literally closed; you can still book trips there but they’re still definitely super strict about what you can and can’t get away with. Would you ever want to visit South Korea? I already have. In terms of people’s niceness, they’re in the middle of Chinese (the shits) and Japanese (absolute angels). Most of the Koreans I dealt with were nice save for this one woman who shooed me away when I was taking a photo of something from her little bazaar. Have you ever had Korean food? YESSSSS I love Korean food so much, it’s so underrated. People gotta go deeper than sushi and Chinese fried rice cos there’s another East Asian with food that slaps as fuuuuuuuck. South America Have you read The Spirit of the Rainforest? I have not. Name one fact you know about Venezuela. I know nothing about Venezuela other than they also seem to be favorites in Miss Universe pageants every year along with PH. Do you know anyone who lives in Peru? I do not. That’s very far from where I’m at. Have you ever tried Peruvian food or drink? Nope. I definitely would if there were places that served such here. Have you ever been to South America? No. Do you know anyone from Brazil? I don’t think so. Would you ever want to visit South America? Yes. Name someone you know who owns llamas. Nobody. Do you like llamas? I like all animals except for cockroaches and other weird insects, so yes. Have you ever sewn on a loom? I haven’t had the chance to. Do you own a skirt from Guetamala? This is...specific. No. Do you ever wonder why we don't hear much about South America? Probs because people and media play a hand in painting it in such a bad light, e.g. poverty, drugs, crime and otherwise glorify its big brother North America as a place of freedom and diversity and liberty when it’s just as big of a shithole as anywhere else. But I’m glad social media exposes issues in countries that often go unignored, South American ones included. Thailand Do you like elephants? I LOVE elephants, they’re my favorite creatures. Would you ever be brave enough to try walking on stilts? I’d be so scared but wouldn’t be opposed to trying. Do you know about sex trafficking in Thailand? I’ve heard enough to be actively aware of it, but I don’t know specifics. Do you like Thai food? Obsessed.

Do you know anyone who's Thai? I don’t think so. United States If you live in the US, which state do you live in? Which states have you visited? Which states have you lived in? Have you ever been to Washington D.C? No. What is your favorite American food? I don’t know...I’m genuinely not sure what counts as American food because the ones I know were influenced one way or another from other cuisines. Maybe burgers? I love me a juicy burger with brioche buns, caramelized onions, and a mayo-based sauce. Do you listen to popular music? Hahahaha, guilty pleasure. Do you dream of having two kids and maybe a dog? Yesssss. ...and living in a two-story house with a white picket fence? House yes; not so much on the fence. Fences aren’t the norm here; people have big-ass gates instead. ...and having a good job and saving for retirement? Why is this just an American thing? Isn’t this like a people thing? ....where you can retire to Florida and live on the beach? Florida was never my ideal home. Did you go to college? If so, what was your major? I’m in college atm. Journalism. Were you abused by your parents? Emotionally/mentally/verbally. Do you know any nice people? ???????? I do, but I’m starting to dislike how general life questions were all clumped into the American category as if the whole world lives an American-centric life. Anyway IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS ROBYN MOVE ON How often do you bbq? What's your favorite ride at Cedar Point? Other What's the best family vacation you've been on? Palawan was amazing. It was a local vacation but it was so much good fun. What countries have you visited? My own; Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia. What countries do you want to visit? Morocco, South Africa, Egypt, Canada, Peru, Malta, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia. Have you ever been to NYC? No. Do you live in a big city, small town, or other? Big city, but I live in the quiet, more suburban part of it so it feels small.

Do you live in the city or country? City. What is your favorite country besides your own? I never claimed that the Philippines was my favorite country hahahaha um I don’t have one. What country do you live in? The Philippines. What is your ancestry? Filipino, Malay, Austronesian, possibility of Spanish. Are you happy with the American government? Right now? It sucks. I only recognize and like AOC. What currency do you use? Philippine peso. Do you think you have an accent? Everyone has an accent. I don’t know why this is a question. Have you ever been told you have an accent? Sure.

Lebron James

Você pode não saber nada sobre basquete, talvez nunca nem viu nenhum jogador, mas é bem provável que mesmo sem saber o rosto dele, já ouviu falar de Lebron James. Entre os muitos nomes da historia que podem ser chamados de “Lendas”, sem dúvida LeBron Raymone James está entre eles. Mas para chegar até esse patamar, LeBron teve que trilhar uma estrada tortuosa.

LeBron, a caminhada do sucesso

LeBron nasceu em uma das regiões mais pobres dos Estados Unidos, em Akron, Ohio. Gloria James, sua mãe, tinha apenas 16 anos quando deu a luz a LeBron, e consequentemente teve que cria-lo sozinha, após seu marido demonstrar desprezo pela família e abandona-los. A vida não foi nada fácil para a mãe e o garoto, que se mudavam constantemente, sendo guiados por promessas de empregos que surgiam no extremo sul da cidade de Cleveland.

Mesmo sendo muito difícil naquela situação e trabalhando em vários empregos, glória teve sucesso em manter o jovem LeBron longe da criminalidade. Em uma tentativa de distrair o garoto das coisas erradas que o rondavam, Glória lhe presenteou com uma bola de Basquete.

James ficava horas jogando nas quadras do bairro e começava a chamar atenção na vizinhança. As características de James era ser forte e ágil, diferente de todos os garotos ele parecia ter um dom natural para o esporte. Nesta mesma época ele foi estudar na St. Mary High School. James era tímido e sentia deslocado, por causa de sua condição pobre, e por isso não tinha as roupas maneiras de sua época. Nas quadras ele podia fugir desses dramas de sua vida difícil. Em um curto espaço de tempo, Lebron se tornou o astro na escola e também no estado, sendo premiado com o Ohio Mr. Basketball por três anos consecutivos.

Não demorou muito para a mídia americana ficar apaixonada pelo talento de James. Logo ele foi apontado como a futura primeira escolha do Draft, onde os times da NBA tem a oportunidade de recrutar jovens talentos. Sendo o jogador numero um do país, ele logo foi recrutado pelo time de sua cidade, o Cleveland Cavaliers, que na época tinha a pior campanha da NBA.

Rumo ao Topo

É natural que a primeira escolha chame a atenção de grandes marcas esportivas, no caso de LeBron não foi diferente. A Nike, podemos dizer que é a empresa numero um do mundo esportivo, ofereceu um contrato de cerca de 90 milhões de dólares, obviamente James aceitou.

As especulações sobre o talento de James logo se tornaram certeza quando o campeonato começou. Seus números surpreendentes foram de uma média de 20 pontos, 5.9 assistências e 5.5 rebotes por jogo, se tornando consequentemente o Calouro do ano, além de estar entre um dos três jogadores mais jovens a terem média de 20 pontos por jogo no ano de estreia.

A evolução de LeBro foi simplesmente absurda. Na temporada seguinte LeBron acumulou genialidade, como quando marcou 56 pontos num jogo contra o Toronto Raptors, se tornando também o MVP no jogo das estrelas, mesmo o Clevelando não passando para os playoffs.

Na temporada de 2007, James carregou o time nas costas, levou o Cleveland a final da NBA contra o San Antonio Spurns, vencendo a série em apenas 4 jogos. James não era mais uma promessa, era realidade. Na temporada 2008-2009 LeBron teve um grande salto em sua carreira. O Cleveland decidiu reforçar o elenco para dar suporte para o astro. LeBron ganhou o título de Jogador Mais Valioso (MVP). Com o time embalado, chegaram mais uma vez aos playoffs, infelizmente eliminados pelo Orlando Magic.

O mesmo se repetiu na temporada seguinte com James como MVP e o Cleveland chegando aos playoffs, mas sem sucesso. Em 2010, James se tornou agente livre, ou seja, podia agora escolher e trocar de time sem problemas. Cogitado pelos grandes times da época como New York Knicks e o Chicago Bulls, “A Escolha” de James se tornou uma série de TV, até que o astro se identificou e assinou com o Miami Heats, jogando ao lado de Dwyane Wade e Cris Bosh.

A primeira temporada de James no Heats foi boa e má ao mesmo tempo. O time chegou a final da NBA mas perdeu para o Dallas Mavericks, e James teve a sua pior média da carreira. No ano seguinte James manteve o foco e arrancou uma das suas melhores atuações, levando o time mais uma vez a final da NBA, e finalmente se tornando campeão. O ano seguinte se repetiu com mais um título para o Heats.

James sentia que tinha uma dívida com a sua casa. Por isso ele voltou para o Cleveland na temporada 2014-2015. LeBron prometeu que seria campeão por sua casa. Embora o titulo não veio no primeiro ano, Lebron é o tipo de jogador que não desiste até alcançar o seu objetivo. No ano seguinte James cumpriu sua promessa. O Cleveland Cavaliers em mais uma final contra o Golden State, o melhor time da temporada, chegou a perder a série por 3 a 1. Mas LeBron é insistente e se sagrou campeão no sétimo jogo da série. MVP, campeão, promessa cumprida.

Hoje LeBron ainda busca entrar para historia, assinando um contrato milionário com o badalado Los Angeles Lakers. O Jovem pobre de Cleveland mostrou que ele pode saltar mais alto que qualquer um da historia do esporte.

LeBron Sneaker

Com o contrato de 90 milhões assinados no inicio de sua carreira profissional no basquete, LeBron e Nike criaram uma extensa linha de tênis com a marca do jogador. O contrato garantia ao astro um modelo de tênis diferente a cada temporada. Hoje o portfólio do jogador é o mais vendido da historias dos tênis ligados a NBA, arrecadando mais de 400 milhões por ano.

Separamos cinco modelos dessa linha mais famosa do mundo que identifica com louvor a historia desse astro da NBA.

Geração Air Zoom

A ideia era transformar o jovem LeBron James, com apenas 18 anos de idade, na próxima estrela do basquete. Com isso a Nike juntou os maiores design de sneakers da época, Tinker Hatfield, Eric Avar e Aaron Cooper. Eles apresentaram uma proposta ousada para o adolescente, que na época já levava o apelido de “King James”. Para eles esse seria o tênis mais confortável que ele usaria em sua vida, e ponto!

Com o controverso Chrome Hummer H2 proporcionando inspiração para os detalhes, o tênis tinha um design clássico e um cano que era inconfundível dentro da quadra. O modelo também estreou a tecnologia “Sphere Line”, além de contar com amortecimento Max Air e Zoom Air. Feito exclusivamente para o principal jogador de sua geração, o “AZG” foi o primeiro tênis LeBron a ter uma versão retrô lançada.

LeBron 8

Este é o tênis que melhor representa a personalidade de LeBron James. O primeiro usado por ele em seu período de quatro anos em Miami. Em uma viagem promocional, Petrie se encontrou com James, em uma pré-temporada na China. Eles conversaram sobre uma linha icônica inspirada em uma letra de Jay-Z que dizia “Olha só o meu estilo / eu ando igual um jogador”, que refletiria também a maneira como LeBron se destacava no meio da multidão.

Ele queria que o próximo tênis LeBron se destacasse nas lojas. As cores azul claro e rosa da versão “South Beach”, cumpriu a missão de destaque. O Sneaker chegou a custar mil dólares, levando a linha de tênis LeBron a outro patamar. Com tecnologia Air Max, o design mostrava um leão gigantesco na língua, representando uma das primeiras tatuagens de James e sua busca pelo anel de campeão.

LeBron 15

Esse modelo foi um grande desafio para a equipe de criadores. A linha precisava de um novo animo, visto que alguns modelos anteriores não fizeram muito sucesso. LeBron foi o único a chegar a número 15, era uma grande marca e a equipe queria comemorar em grande estilo, unindo tecnologia, estilo e a marca do jogo de LeBron. James chegou a usar 51 versões do modelo 15 na temporada passada, gerando atenção todas as noites para sua campanha #LeBronWatch.

As cores homenageavam alguns dos maiores sucessos das versões anteriores, e inspiradas nas musicas favoritas de James. O tênis renovou o interesse pela linha e ajudou o jogador a atuar em 82 partidas, inclusive em sua oitava final consecutiva na NBA.

LeBron 7

Um tênis com muito estilo, feito para um cara que era o ‘chefão’ da quadra e da mídia, por isso a tecnologia era mais um elemento importante para o estilo. O tênis chegou cheio das mais variadas novas tecnologias.

As tecnologias Air Max e Flywire pareciam deixar o calçado mais leve e melhor no amortecimento, ao mesmo tempo em que LeBron estava entrando no auge de uma carreira que já não era mais restrita ao esporte. O tênis foi lançado durante a estreia do documentário dirigido por LeBron. “More Than a Game”, no qual LeBron contava sua ascensão profissional desde os tempos de Akron.

As palavras-chave de LeBron, compaixão, coragem, tradição, comunidade, família e lealdade, podem ser lidas em um holograma na parte inferior do sapato.

LeBron 2

A Geração Zoom foi projetada enquanto LeBron ainda estava no ensino médio, por isso não havia tempo para um processo de design completo e nem para reuniões de feedback. Mas mesmo assim o LeBron 2 mostrou o seu valor na quadra. A meta de LeBron em sua segunda temporada era “se sentir à prova de balas”, por isso o projeto de estreia da serie de Link , mostrou uma serie de painéis de suporte de couro nas partes onde era necessária uma maior proteção e uma malha mais flexível entre esses painéis.

O cano removível criou uma aparência icônica na quadra, enquanto os painéis gravados a laser sob o fecho deram origem a seu logotipo de leão. O modelo foi lançado com apenas 5 cores no mercado, o que mostra como as coisas mudaram na indústria de calçados. O LeBron 2 ficou conhecido por muitas edições exclusivas.

Esse é o legado de um dos (se não o maior) jogador da historia da NBA.

A Batalha de Los Angeles (em inglês: Battle of Los Angeles) é o nome dado por fontes contemporâneas aos rumores de um ataque inimigo e posterior bombardeio de artilharia antiaérea ocorrido na noite de 24 para 25 de fevereiro de 1942 na cidade de Los Angeles, Califórnia, em que forças militares dos Estados Unidos supostamente abriram fogo contra um objeto voador não identificado (Ovini). O incidente ocorreu menos de três meses depois que os Estados Unidos entraram na Segunda Guerra Mundial, como resultado do ataque a Pearl Harbor da Marinha Imperial Japonesa, e um dia após o bombardeio de Ellwood em 23 de fevereiro.

Inicialmente, o alvo do bombardeio aéreo foi considerado ser uma força de ataque do Japão, mas falando em uma conferência de imprensa pouco depois, o secretário da Marinha Frank Knox chamou o incidente de um “alarme falso“. Jornais da época publicaram uma série de relatórios e especulações a respeito de um encobrimento. Alguns ufólogos modernos tem sugerido que os alvos eram uma nave espacial, às 2:25 a.m. de 25 de fevereiro de 1942, as sirenes antiaéreas foram ativadas pelos militares em Los Angeles. A Califórnia foi sendo sistematicamente apagada e as pessoas pularam de suas camas em pânico. Milhares de soldados dirigiram-se imediatamente aos seus respectivos postos.

Algo havia sido avistado nos céus se aproximando da cidade e a possibilidade de um ataque inimigo em seu próprio território parecia uma possibilidade bastante real para uma nação agora em guerra. Sem saber o que se aproximava à cidade, a 37ª Brigada de Artilharia Costeira começou a disparar suas armas antiaéreas contra o objetivo. O alarme antiaéreo foi desativado às 7:21 a.m.

É estranho o fato de que aviões do Comando Aéreo foram preparados para a missão de interceptação e combate aéreo durante a dramática experiência, e no entanto a ordem de ataque nunca foi dada. Parece óbvio que o “inimigo” que passeava pelo firmamento noturno de Los Angeles não era uma aeronave japonesa nem um avião comercial dos EUA.

Milhares de testemunhas do incidente descreveram à nave inimiga como um objeto grande que permaneceu imóvel sobre a cidade enquanto o exército norte-americano disparava com tudo o que tinha. Pouco depois este misterioso objeto (ou objetos?), sem arranhão algum, começou a se deslocar lentamente para Santa Monica e Long Beach para desaparecer da vista da população.

Três pessoas haviam morrido por causa dos fragmentos de munições produzidos pela artilharia antiaérea e que outros três faleceram de ataque cardíaco por causa do pânico provocado. Além da perda de civis, outro dano colateral foi a numerosa destruição de casas e estabelecimentos comerciais.

Poucas horas depois do fim do suposto “ataque aéreo”, o secretário da Marinha Frank Knox realizou uma conferência de imprensa, dizendo que todo o incidente foi um falso alarme devido à ansiedade e “nervos de guerra”.

Ao documentar o incidente em 1949, a United States Coast Artillery Association identificou um balão meteorológico enviado às 1:00 da manhã que “supostamente deu inicio aos disparos” e concluiu-se que “uma vez que os disparos começaram, a imaginação criou todos os tipos de alvos no céu e todos se juntaram “. Em 1983, o Departamento de História da Força Aérea dos EUA atribuiu o evento a um caso de “nervos de guerra” desencadeado por um balão meteorológico se solto e ficou “vagando” por Los Angeles.

Após o termino da guerra, o governo japonês declarou que não tinha voado nenhum avião sobre Los Angeles durante a guerra.

Testemunhas Relatam em detalhes o misterioso acontecimento

Um veterano da Segunda Guerra Mundial, conhecido como H.C., há poucos anos declarou:

“Sou um veterano da II Guerra Mundial. Gostaria de notificar-lhes que fui uma das muitas testemunhas do evento acontecido naquele fevereiro de 1942. Eu tinha 14 anos na época, e vivia na zona de Adams e Crenshaw de Los Angeles. Minha família observou o episódio inteiro através da janela panorâmica de minha casa, cuja vista dava justamente para o oeste. As sirenes antiaéreas nos acordaram às 2 a.m.

Houve um momento de silêncio depois disso, e ato seguido, começaram a se ouvir as explosões do fogo antiaéreo. O céu do noroeste estava iluminado com explosões e as luzes dos refletores. A ação movia-se para o sul seguindo a linha costeira. Lembro claramente como as luzes dos refletores convergiam na parte inferior de objetos estranhos que davam a impressão de voar em formação.

Pareciam estar alheios e de serem completamente imunes aos mísseis que explodiam ao redor. Desde garoto me interessei pela aviação, e ainda sigo interessado, mas devo admitir que era difícil discernir o que eram aqueles objetos devido ao assombro, a excitação e a especulação do momento. Surpreendeu-me muito ao descobrir dias depois, que apesar de tanta potência de fogo não foi encontrada evidência alguma de ter algo ter sido derrubado.

“Vivia em Virgínia Road, meia quadra ao sul de West Adams Boulevard e um quarto de milha ao sul do que agora é a estrada interestadual 10 de Santa Monica, cerca de 5.5 milhas ao sudeste do atual Centro Cívico de Los Angeles; e aproximadamente 10.5 milhas a leste da costa de Santa Monica. Como já disse, o avistamento foi levado a cabo em direção oeste através de uma enorme janela panorâmica que nos proporcionava uma vista sem obstruções.

Depois fomos para as janelas da cozinha e da varanda, que davam ao sul, para seguir observando a ação que se deslocou para aquele local. Logo, o acontecimento seguiu a linha costeira.

Puderam ter estado a dois, três ou até seis milhas de distância. Não me lembro desse detalhe com precisão já que passou muito tempo. Mas o que sim lembro bem são as luzes dos refletores convergindo na parte de abaixo daqueles objetos avermelhados voando em formação.”

No entanto, outras testemunhas, como Scott Littleton, afirmam ter visto apenas um objeto:

“Fui testemunha ocular dos eventos ocorridos naquela madrugada inesquecível de Fevereiro de 1942. Naquele tempo eu tinha só 8 anos, e meus pais viviam na 2500 Strand em Hermosa Beach, na praia. Por tal motivo, tínhamos assentos de primeira fila para o avistamento.

Quando meu pai saiu para cumprir seu dever como guardião na vigilância antiaérea, minha mãe e eu vimos um objeto brilhante que foi apontado tanto por refletores desde Palos Verdes como de Malibu/Pacifico/Palisades e rodeado pelas explosões do ineficiente armamento do exército, enquanto o mesmo se deslocava lentamente sobre a costa do noroeste para o sudeste. Dirigiu-se à terra sobre Redondo Beach, umas duas milhas ao sul do nosso ponto de vista, e eventualmente desapareceu para o este das colinas de Palos Verdes, que hoje se conhece como Rancho Palos Verdes.

O incidente em sua totalidade durou, ao menos desde nossa perspetiva, cerca de meia hora, embora não tenhamos tomado nota do tempo. Do mesmo modo que outras crianças da comunidade, passei a manhã seguinte recolhendo peças de estilhaços na praia; de fato, a gente se pergunta como é possível que tão pouca gente fosse ferida por aquela coisa. Não lembro de ter visto alguma formação discernível, só uma pequena bola de luz brilhante em forma de “losango” ( o termo “disco voador” ainda não havia sido adotado. NDT.). Só vimos um objeto, não vários como reportaram mais tarde algumas testemunhas.

Naquela época, estávamos convencidos de que se tratava de um avião japonês de reconhecimento e que Los Angeles era um sério candidato a receber um ataque via aérea. Cabe destacar que isso passou menos de três meses após o ataque a Pearl Harbor. Mas nada daquilo foi o que aconteceu. Depois da guerra todos esperávamos que ‘eles’, os militares, dissessem-nos o que foi que realmente vimos ali acima… Mas até agora, também não o fizeram…”

Conclusão dos Fatos

A Batalha de Los Angeles ocorreu em um tempo em que sequer existiam as expressões disco voador ou objeto voador não identificado, em 25 de fevereiro de 1942 em Los Angeles, nos EUA. Um objeto se moveu lentamente pela cidade e foi alvejado durante mais de uma hora por mais de 1400 misseis antiaéreos, sem que nenhum deles causasse o menor dano nele.

O que era aquele objeto? Seria mesmo um balão como afirma o exército americano até hoje? Se for, o exército pecou por incompetência ao não poder derrubam um balão que permaneceu estacionado durante uma hora sobre o céu de Los Angeles

A Batalha De Los Angeles A Batalha de Los Angeles (em inglês: Battle of Los Angeles) é o nome dado por fontes contemporâneas aos rumores de um ataque inimigo e posterior bombardeio de artilharia antiaérea ocorrido na noite de 24 para 25 de fevereiro de 1942 na cidade de Los Angeles, Califórnia, em que forças militares dos Estados Unidos supostamente abriram fogo contra um objeto voador não identificado (Ovini).

Advertisers signal glimmers of optimism

Here we are at the beginning of May. Many businesses still can’t restock inventory, but the initial jolts to supply chains and fulfillment systems have somewhat subsided. The mortality rate attributed to COVID-19 declined in the U.S. last week, “but remains significantly elevated.” In late March, roughly half of small businesses said they could survive just two months, and the gradual reopenings by states are now “a source of uncertainty rather than confidence,” for many of them. Overall, business confidence in the U.S. plummeted 17 points in April.

The jobless rates are staggering, but U.S. consumer sentiment ticked up slightly for the second week in a row at the end of April. Yet, those consumers are nearly evenly split on how they envision economic recovery. There are the 47% who see the U.S. economy rebounding as restrictions are lifted. While among the 49% of consumers who don’t expect a quick economic recovery, sentiment is near the lowest recorded in the last 18 years.

Mix in consumer stimulus checks and the Paycheck Protection Program, and it’s even harder to find the signal through the noise. As with so much of this crisis, the business impact of COVID-19 is situational. It has gravely impacted some while other businesses have never experienced current levels of demand. That said, from an advertising standpoint, there appears to have been a sentiment shift over the past week — or even few days — with many advertisers starting to spend again.

Leading indicators. For example, with the travel industry among the hardest hit, it’s notable that several online travel agencies (OTAs) have resumed paid search advertising, as Conrad O’Connell of BuildUpBookings, a digital marketing agency agency focused on travel and accommodations, noticed this week.

Trivago and Booking Holdings’ Priceline and Booking.com are running paid search campaigns. Trip Advisor, AppleVacations, Omni Hotels, Norweigan Cruise Lines and Sandals Resorts are among the other travel businesses currently running ads on Google and Bing.

“For long term planning, cruises, vacations, conference centers, etc, we’re seeing some of them come back,” Brad Geddes of ad testing platform AdAlysis said by email yesterday. He noted the OTAs and larger companies seem to have made more of a return than the boutique businesses. For short term travel such as flights and hotels, Geddes said it appears several have resumed advertising, “but we don’t have enough data to understand how they are bidding yet and if these are limited campaigns/budgets or some companies trying to advertise through the virus in preparation for a return to normality later this year.”

What’s motivating these businesses to turn the marketing agency spigot back on is unclear. There is little indication of shifts in search behaviors trending in their favor, though searches for “vacation” began trending up slightly in the last week, according to Google Trends. But ,they may be seeing more granular improvements and signs of interest. (Booking Holdings and Expedia Group will each report their first-quarter 2020 financial results on May 7.)

Google Trends data for the search queries “cruise” and “vacation” between March 5, 2019 and May 5, 2020.

WordStream, a PPC campaign platform used predominantly by SMBs, reported Monday that search campaign conversion performance improved across verticals on both Google and Bing in April from March. “Specifically, starting the second week of April, paid search conversions rebounded to about 89% of their pre-COVID levels.”

And, as we reported last week, the quarterly financial reports from Google, Facebook, Snap and Amazon all indicated the worst might be behind us.

Curious if others are seeing indicators of optimism, I put a Twitter poll up yesterday asking whether businesses were starting to resume their PPC campaigns. The poll was open for just a few hours, but among the 72 votes, 50% said they or their clients are starting to increase spend and another 25% said they would likely do so soon. One-quarter said they were not planning to spend yet.

I spoke with and heard from many marketers about what they’re seeing yesterday. Several poll respondents said they have clients in each of the three buckets. “Very account-specfiic right now,” said Kirk Williams, owner of digital advertising agency ZATO, who added they are “doing our best to manage client expectations in that regard.” Yet, there is a relative sense of optimism. Here’s what I heard.

Regroup and transform. Many businesses that decided to pause or pull back on advertising, did so not out of panic, but to regroup and make a plan, said Jason Hartley EVP, head of search and shopping at 360i, by phone yesterday. “Because we know that sales are going to come online — obviously not 100%, but you know that’s going to happen.”

We talked about the quick shifts to digital transformation. “What it has done is made us see what was possible all along,” said Hartley.

A sense of the new (undefined) normal. “The panic and sense of everything doom is gone. It’s now time to go back to the original/new goals and improve performance,” said Andrea Cruz.

Ron Adams, owner of digital marketing agency agency Engage Media, seems to have captured the post-system shock of many: “Yes, we are starting to bring spend back. Most clients are beginning to accept where [we] are now as a new normal (even after govt restrictions are lifted).”

Others are starting to say things like, “let’s imagine a world where this is more the norm for the next several months, if not a year. And what can we do to maximize our position in that situation. Those are the [companies] that are going to be best prepared. … It’s hard to predict the future, but given that, I think the smart thing to do is to have a few different plans for different scenarios.”

Proactive rather than reactive. A client of digital marketing agency agency Page Zero Media experienced fulfillment challenges and paused ads for seven weeks. The agency’s president, Andrew Goodman, told me the company is now starting to resume roughly 50% of their advertising, knowing that its typical slow season starts in June. “The thinking likely was: can we afford to coast until late July? Instead, let’s push to capacity through May, because it will be slow for 6-7 weeks after that, and we have to be proactive now rather than purely reactive,” said Goodman.

Like Black Friday. “Every day since like the 15th [of April] has been like an unplanned Black Friday for my eComm clients,” said digital advertising consultant Josh Yates. “We have no idea how long it’s going to last.” For now, most of Yates’ clients have opened up their budgets are managing to ROAS targets.

Many companies that continue to struggle to meet skyrocketing demand continue to harness ad spend. “The most common problem is that they can only pack and ship so much,” Martin Roettgerding, head of SEM at Bloofusion Germany, said of his clients. “Some have strong enough brands and other channels so that they’re at capacity without PPC ads.” Roettgerding said companies are now seeing their investments in SEO Company and branding paying off.

Long-term behavior impact. Goodman expects “pure play online retailers will be permanently in a renewed mode of secular growth … a higher revenue plane, so to speak,” pointing to an e-commerce grill parts business and an online services company as examples of clients that are “expecting a permanent upward shift in demand.”

While many say they are seeing CPMs rising on Facebook, Goodman expects the paid search ad auction to continue to be discounted for some time to come. “I would say for the next year, ad spend won’t keep up with advertiser revenue. There will be more ‘free’ traffic. ROI will, therefore, be higher,” he said.

Agencies, CMOs are hopeful. In terms of his own business, Goodman said, “Agencies will see recovery but not rapid growth. We may be one of the lucky ones. Quite diversified and some big clients spending more than ever.”

It seems many other agency heads feel the same way.

“Agency leaders are surprisingly optimistic right now,” said agency consultant Karl Sakas at Sakas & Company. “Some have finally received their Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, while others are seeing a strengthening sales pipeline. Many of their clients have cut back, but a few agencies are landing upsells, too.”

Sakas noted that his April 2020 global industry survey with SharpSpring found many agency leaders expected 2020 to be a record year until COVID-19 hit. Yet, in April, “among the 484 respondents, 57% of agency leaders reported feeling optimistic about business in 2020, while only 22% were pessimistic.”

“Agencies aren’t in recovery yet, as both small and large firms consider or implement layoffs and salary reductions. But I’m seeing optimism from chief marketing agency officers, too, as CMOs make plans to prepare for a strong recovery,” said Sakas. “Everyone might be practicing wishful thinking, but perception becomes reality.”

Kendrick Lamar, NBA e Lealdade.

O final da temporada passada da NBA foi marcado por muitas coisas, entre elas o novo álbum do Kendrick Lamar, intitulado "DAMN.". Não preciso falar que esse álbum é altamente recomendável para todo e qualquer ser humano que goste de música boa. Nesse álbum, por mais que muitos pensassem que isso não seria possível, Kendrick Lamar se superou e destacou mais ainda o seu nome na lista de maiores rappers de todos os tempos.

Duas músicas em especial fizeram partes de comerciais dos playoffs, servindo de fundo para jogadas incríveis, e com mensagens que, de alguma forma, se encaixam com o contexto de basquete. A primeira delas foi "HUMBLE.", que tem uma batida nada menos do que sensacional, e tem um refrão simples e objetivo "sit down, be humble" (algo como "senta aí, seja humilde), em que o rapper fala sobre humildade, sobre o quanto ele tenta ser humilde e o quanto ele exige isso dos outros. Curiosamente, Kendrick Lamar dá a entender que ele sabe que ele é um dos maiores de todos os tempos, mas mesmo assim busca ter a humildade para melhorar. No basquete, humildade sempre foi um conceito importante e essencial para qualquer jogador, o que inclui respeito ao adversário, à torcida, aos seus companheiros de equipe, enfim. Mas a segunda música "DNA.", de alguma forma, servirá como plano de fundo para o post de hoje. Também serviu como trilha sonora de clipes dos playoffs feitos pela NBA, ela começa assim: "I got, I got, I got, I got Loyalty, I got royalty inside my DNA"

Quando ele fala em royalty, na maioria das vezes aparecia o LeBron James na imagem, até porque sem dúvidas ele É o rei. Mas esse aspecto dele não será importante agora, ele será citado, mas em outro aspecto. "Loyalty" será a palavra-chave desse texto. A questão da lealdade entra em pauta novamente a cada offseason. A discussão mais recente sobre isso foi sobre o caso do Kevin Durant, que ao se tornar free agent se juntou ao time que tinha eliminado ele dos playoffs anteriores (em que o time dele deixou ir embora uma vantagem de 3-1 com ele pipocando nos momentos decisivos), e que contava com mais 3 all-stars. Mas na verdade, essa discussão começou pra valer quando LeBron James decidiu "levar os seus talentos para South Beach", ou seja, deixou o Cleveland Cavaliers, time que o draftou, para se juntar a Dwyane Wade no Miami Heat, time que depois fecharia também com Chris Bosh. A decisão dele fazer um programa em horário nobre para fazer o seu anúncio não ajudou em nada. O resultado em Ohio consistiu em camisas queimadas, muitas camisas queimadas. Muitas mesmo. LeBron foi de herói a vilão em questão de segundos.

Mas, porém, contudo, todavia, entretanto, será que essa pedida por lealdade incondicional é justa para com os atletas? Quando é mancada e quando não é? E o lado do jogador? Vamos chegar nesses pontos aos poucos. Vamos pegar o caso LeBron James: ele carregou o Cleveland sozinho nas costas desde que foi draftado. Chegou a uma final de NBA basicamente sozinho. Ao seu redor, viu os Celtics montarem um time com Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo e Ray Allen, o ORLANDO MAGIC ter um time com um elenco competente liderado pelo Dwight Howard, e ele sozinho tendo que se matar e morrer na praia todo ano, sem uma perspectiva de melhora, tendo que aguentar a mídia caindo em cima dele por não ser capaz de fazer o que ninguém nunca havia feito antes: vencer o título sozinho. Nem Jordan, nem Magic, Nem Bird, nem Hakeem, nem Kobe, nem qualquer grande nome que tenha sido campeão da NBA fez isso sozinho. No começo da carreira, Michael Jordan contava com um time muito ruim, carregava até os playoffs, mas sempre caía, sendo para os Celtics, sendo para os Pistons, times esses muito mais fortes e com bons jogadores além do franchise player. Só com a chegada de Pippen e a adição de mais peças para deixar o time competitivo que Jordan foi campeão, e hoje ele é por unanimidade o melhor jogador de basquete de todos os tempos.

Então quando ele decide ir para um time que tem um projeto, que pode ser campeão, que pode derrotar aqueles que o castigaram durante toda a sua carreira, você não pode ir? A diretoria de Cleveland fez com o LeBron praticamente o que o Indianapolis Colts fez com o Peyton Manning: "ah, ele vai dar um jeito". E no final de tudo, Peyton é um quarterback que tem 2 Super Bowls, quando ele poderia ter ganhado 5, 6 ou 7. LeBron não queria isso. De certa forma, a diretoria mereceu esse duro golpe de perder um talento como James, e a cidade poderia ter sido menos dura com ele e mais dura com o time em si, pois ele fez tudo que podia.

Agora vamos pra Kevin Durant, um caso totalmente diferente: ele era exatamente o FP que LeBron queria ser, com um elenco consistente, recebendo boas peças, brigando no topo sem ter que se matar. Eu preciso lembrar aqui que Kevin Durant teve no seu time, ao mesmo tempo, Russell Westbrook, James Harden e Serge Ibaka (no seu auge)? No ano da eliminação para Golden State, o OKC engoliu o San Antonio Spurs, e tava engolindo os Warriors até Durant começar a pipocar nos finais dos jogos, entregando uma liderança que era pra lá de confortável. O OKC era, ao lado do GSW, o bicho-papão do Oeste, no mesmo estilo do Boston Celtics, mas Durant não foi capaz de capitalizar isso liderando um time MUITO bom. O OKC não tinha um time que batia nele ano sim, ano também, na verdade ele estava do outro lado da moeda. Mas ao se tornar free-agent, ele achou melhor se juntar ao time que havia derrotado ele, numa série que ele ajudou a entregar. Novamente, muitas camisas queimadas, muitas mesmo.

Muito se falou sobre o LeBron ter aberto a porteira para que esse tipo de coisa acontecesse. Mas temos que concordar que o LeBron se juntou ao Miami para derrotar o Celtics, ele não se juntou aos Celtics. Durant perdeu para os Warriors, se juntou aos Warriors. São casos totalmente diferentes, totalmente. Enquanto os Cavs não tinham uma diretoria, o OKC possuía (e ainda possui) uma das melhores da liga. Enquanto os Cavs não tinham elenco, OKC tinha. O movimento de Durant é muito mais questionável do que o do LeBron, e as reações foram mais proporcionais ao que o FP do time fez. No entanto, há de se agradecer o que Durant fez pela equipe. Quando ele chegou, o time (até então chamado Seattle Supersonics) era um completo nada, e ele ajudou a reerguer a franquia, decidiu muitos jogos, chegou à uma final, e tudo mais. Ao contrário de LeBron, ele não fez tudo o que podia, mas ainda assim fez muita coisa. Agora ambos possuem seu anel de campeão, LeBron possui 3, dois pelo Miami e um conquistado na sua volta para Cleveland, e Durant tem um, pelos Warriors, e ele provavelmente não voltará para Oklahoma. Essas situações me colocam em uma situação de reflexão. Como torcedor do OKC, eu não entendo o motivo do Durant ter feito o que ele fez, mas ele claramente está mais feliz em Oakland. Por que será que é tão difícil aceitar que o jogador não tem obrigação de ficar sempre com o time que o draftou? Por que é tão difícil aceitar as suas decisões pessoais? No final do dia, nós esquecemos que eles também são humanos. Fazer um movimento desse, se juntar a outros all-stars deu a ele o título que ele queria. Quantas vezes não vimos isso em outros esportes? Num mundo ideal, ainda teríamos a cultura do cara ter o seu time e querer derrotar o outro. Mas temos que pensar em outra coisa: a quantidade de talento hoje em dia é extremamente menor do que no passado, isso é totalmente inviável. Enfim, os jogadores têm o direito de irem para onde bem entenderem. Durant e James, por exemplo, nunca faltaram com profissionalismo para com as equipes que eles deixaram. Aliás, OS TIMES NÃO SÃO LEAIS COM OS SEUS JOGADORES QUANDO A SITUAÇÃO É CONTRÁRIA. Nesse mesmo blog, você viu que o Isaiah Thomas foi trocado pelo Boston Celtics, e ele é um cara que foi pra quadra jogar dias depois da morte da sua irmã! Isaiah fez tudo pelos C's, deu o seu melhor em cada partida em Boston, e decidem trocar ele por um cara da mesma posição? Cadê a lealdade do time? Cadê o torcedor irritado agora?

A imagem dele chorando no treinamento (após morte da irmã) antes de jogo dos playoffs percorreu o mundo, e mesmo assim ele foi trocado. Os fãs, que acham inaceitável a saída do atleta por conta dele, quando o time faz uma troca por alguém, em tese, melhor, ficam felizes com o negócio, fingindo que nada aconteceu. Pergunta para qualquer torcedor do Celtics se ele quer o Thomas de volta agora? Não, né? Hipocrisia toma conta. Quando convém tem o "ah, mas nba é negócio", e quando não convém "cadê o amor pelo clube? esses jogadores só querem dinheiro, não querem fazer história".

O próprio Peyton Manning, que carregou times EXTREMAMENTE BISONHOS do Colts para a pós-temporada, quando começou a sofrer com lesões, foi dispensado do Indianapolis Colts, após catorze anos de serviços prestados. Sim, ele foi dispensado. Depois, ele foi para Denver, retomou a forma, liderou o melhor ataque da história da NFL, foi MVP mais uma vez e ganhou mais um Super Bowl.

Uma situação que foi bem conduzida, por exemplo, foi a saída do Gordon Hayward para os Celtics. Virou free agent, levou seus talentos para Boston, escreveu uma carta linda de despedida para Utah, e seguiu em frente com a sua carreira. Ninguém questionou sua lealdade, Utah segue forte, e a vida segue. Sem ninguém tentando jogar coisas para cima do outro.

Se o time pode lidar com os atletas como se fossem gado, porque os atletas não podem fazer as suas próprias escolhas quando é possível? Por que a lealdade é unilateral? Você se doa por inteiro para uma equipe, e ela pode te trocar sem nem te consultar? Isso é cruel, não um jogador escolher outro lugar para jogar. Para exigir lealdade, você tem que ser leal, e as equipes da NBA estão longe de ter alguma moral para fazer essa demanda.
