My amazing little brother has been growing over 400 red mangrove shoots he collected after Hurricane Irma. Today, 7 months later, he planted over half of the seedlings in a coastal area that had been badly affected by the storm, and I really couldn’t be prouder.

"Better watch out for these two inky boys are coming for you" but really, i loved the butcher gang's designs when I saw them in chapter 3 and i instantly wanted to draw them but unfortunately i couldn't add the striker as there was no space left, and basically that's it So hope you guys like it.

[Thorn] Back then, the knock on Michael was that he couldn't shoot the ball. That first season, he just drove the ball to the basket and he didn't need a shot. But Michael was so smart, he learned from taking some mighty licks. So he said, 'I gotta get a jump shot,' and he got one.

Article

"When I drafted him, I said, 'OK, we're gonna get a good player here,'" said Rod Thorn, the Nets president who was Chicago's GM when the Bulls had the No. 3 pick in 1984. "I thought, he'll come in and play and help us. But to think that he would be what he turned out to be? No way. No way."

"Back then, the knock on Michael was that he couldn't shoot the ball," Thorn recalled. "For a long time, that first season, he just drove the ball to the basket and he didn't need a shot. But Michael was so smart, he learned from taking some mighty licks. So he said, 'I gotta get a jump shot,' and he got one. But when we looked at him for the draft, he was 195 pounds and 6-6, so he was kind of thin. So the biggest thing about him was, can he make a shot? We wondered what kind of shooter he'd be."

Thorn could only go off of the tapes of Jordan he'd watched in Dean Smith's office in Chapel Hill several months before the draft.

"Back then, you didn't work guys out," he said. "We never worked Michael out. But I was very good friends with Dean, and every year, I'd go down to North Carolina for two or three days and he would let me watch tapes of all the ACC players. That's how I scouted the entire league. Dean thought Michael would be a really good pro - a better pro player than a college player."

"When training camp started, I was not there for our first practice," Thorn said. "After they finished, I got a call from Bill Blair who was an assistant coach, and he said, 'Rod, you didn't screw this draft up. This guy is pretty good.' Well, you know how coaches are. They just don't say that kind of stuff about a rookie. So I felt pretty good. Then the next day, I got a call from Kevin Loughery, our head coach, and he said, 'This guy is pretty good.' So I said, 'Wait a minute, he must be pretty dad-gone good if Kevin is calling me, too.'"

"Pretty dad-gone good" turned into much, much more, not so long after Thorn left Chicago in 1985. As Jordan grew into an iconic figure, known the world over, he took the league to unparalleled heights as the Bulls won six titles in eight seasons.

[Frank] Matisse Thybulle: “Someone on the Pistons said, ‘Hey, bro, they told me you couldn’t shoot.’ And I’m like, ‘That’s what everyone’s been saying. I don’t know where they got this idea from that I can’t shoot.’ But I hope that I’ve proved a little bit now that I’m a decent shooter. mobile.twitter.com/jackfr…

Had HS 10 year reunion last night. Dude that always kinda flirted with me was there. Made me grind on him on the dance floor hahah. Wanted to say it in person but I couldn’t find him before I left. Nothing will probably ever come of it but why not shoot your shot? 🤷🏾‍♂️😂😩

Thybulle was a 36% shooter from 3PT range for his college career, which is just about average/slightly above average. Plus, his summer league 3-point shooting, from NBA range, has been better than that.

Finally bought the Underhive box set. Began with kitbashing some test models for a Escher gang. Really need to finish reading the rules to make sure that I am building them “right” but I couldn’t resist starting. Please let me know what you think and how I can make the gang play. More pics below.

In the episode "The Gang gets Trapped" it appears that the gang purchased an Indiana Jones costume before breaking into the house but couldn't decide who should wear it. They instead split it up; Charlie got the jacket, Mac the hat, and Frank the whip.

[Schrager] Michael Vick spoke to Ramon Foster yesterday. Says the offensive linemen were told by Bell that he’d be here his week. When he no-showed, they called and texted and couldn’t get a straight response from him back. They’re concerned about Cleveland and James Conner now. @NFLonFOX twitter.com/pschrags/stat…
