Remember the Name Azzi Fudd When Azzi Fudd catches the ball, she has this look. It starts with her eyebrows. They sink a little lower, point inward to the middle. Her eyes and her lips tighten.

Murray has had a tough journey to get where he is today. It's amazing he's made it this far

🥺🥺🙏🏼

🚨 New @mirinfader.bsky.social feature, this is not a drill 🚨

‘Who is Dejounte, really?’ How a ‘breakdown’ led a former NBA All-Star to face himself Dejounte Murray's Achilles injury was just one more thing to overcome. But it spurred a journey far deeper than a comeback to the court.

Murray is probable to return Tuesday for the Pelicans’ game against the Golden State Warriors.

He spoke with @mirinfader.bsky.social about a journey far deeper than a comeback to the court ⤵️

Graphic displays a quote from Mirin Fader: "If you want to understand the full human experience—the grit, the joy, the sadness, the frustration and excitement within all of us—there is no better place to look than sports writing. In a world that sometimes tells us that this writing isn’t as important as other writing, we know better. Sports is a microcosm of society, a kaleidoscope of who we are. I’m grateful to be able to share the incredible work of my peers, so the world can understand itself better."

HALFTIME READING! Great stuff from Mirin here on Jalen and his journey.

I remember when he was in his second year and was dunking like young LeBron. I thought the NBA had guys all throughout the league that talented. Turns out i was wrong.
