On the last chapter Mirin Fader’s Olajuwon Biography Dream and it’s an incredible read if you are a Rockets fan or just a fan of the NBA in general.

My favorite thing I've read this year, Mirin is the 🐐

Giannis has the most incredible story. This book by @mirinfader.bsky.social made me obsessed with the guy mirinfader.com/book/

Congrats, @courtmcox.bsky.social! Everyone go support this incredible book and wonderful author 💜: www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=p0...

Always great. Love that the post-LeBron Cavs are very much back.

Kenny Atkinson has long been my fav coach in the NBA. He seems incredible at team building and creating the right energy for NBA players to maximize their ceilings. Brooklyn dropping him and Jarrett Allen were major moments when I quit caring about the Nets’ potential to mean anything in BK.

“It’s like a brotherhood, like a grown-man AAU team type of vibe." I profiled Darius Garland and the Cavs' journey into the postseason for The Ringer. A story about leadership, resilience, transformation, and TEAM: www.theringer.com/2025/04/23/n...

As Hakeem Olajuwon is interviewed on ESPN, please buy & read the book “Dream” by @mirinfader.bsky.social about his inspirational life and career
