Myles Copeland plays in The Basketball League, a pro startup.
His day job: firefighter in Toledo.
After a 24-hr shift, he drove to New York for a playoff game.
When a ref collapsed, Copeland performed CPR on him for 10 minutes — saving his life.
Then, he helped his team win.

A lot of young people have to understand that when you get a certain age and have certain responsibilities as a man, all that talk is cheap.

There are no words to properly express/describe how my son saved my life. Y’all please wish Chase a Happy 7th birthday. 😢 🎁

1-Left a toxic work situation to become Editor in Chief of a Black newspaper in the Blackest city in America. 2-Made my first national TV appearance as a journalist. 3-Covered the national championship and the NBA from LA. Something I wouldn’t have ever bet would happen. 🙏🏾

There are more of us that are journalists, doctors, lawyers, engineers, educators, FATHERS and HUSBANDS than are rappers, actors, basketball and football players. And we prefer it that way.

I’m the one on the left, this was in 1978, a year after we were born in Brooklyn. We don’t speak anymore. We were once very close. I should really fix that.
This is Chrystul Kizer of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
She was 17-years old in 2018 when she shot & killed the guy who held her captive and sexually abused her for over a year.
She was found guilty of 1st degree murder. 1/2
Last year I promised myself, after years of working as a professional journalist and still taking on odd jobs at restaurants, that 2018 would be my first year where I only make money from journalism. 12 months later I have done just that. Never give up writers.

14 years ago today I lost my best friend, my inspiration, my first love, my mom. It still hurts like heck. Man I miss her. I’m praying she’s proud of the man, father I’ve become. 😢 🙏🏾❤️

at the only Black-owned bookstore in Clayton County. I’ll interview the store’s owner and talk to customers about why Nubian Books is critical to the county’s residents. 📚 💪🏾

I’m a devout Catholic, try to live my life according to the Bible, and I totally agree with her. That’s our book, our rules, but we don’t get to dictate other’s lives. I totally agree.
We’re not going to truly appreciate his good Klay Thompson is until 10-years into his career when you turn over his basketball card and see a decade straight of 22 ppg, 85 FT%, .375 3pt%
Message to ALL Black journalists:
Take a moment to greet one another in the press box or press room. There aren’t enough of us in the business to pretend we don’t see/didn’t notice each other.
To my fellow Georgia early voters, there are going to be delays, long lines, printer issues (like at my polling place this morning) and 1 million reasons to not vote. Ignore those things and stay the course.

Born at 2 pounds, 1 ounce 6 years ago today. God has been so good to my son and through him to my wife, myself and my entire family. Y’all please wish my baby boy Chase a Happy Birthday. 🎂🎁🎉 🙏🏿⭐️
I sat down with

this afternoon to talk about, among other things, the importance of this coming presidential election. “I think this is one of the most significant elections of our lifetime.”

House caught fire late last night. My wife and kids are safe, so am I. God is good. Fire started in garage. There’s some damage to the house, most in garage. We have plenty of insurance but Prayers are needed and appreciate. 🙏🏿

Every single player watching idolized Griffey in some way, shape or form. Culturally he did more for the game than anyone not named Robinson or Ruth.

The city I moved to 16 years ago this past summer is gone. I left my home, New York City, for a quieter existence, and now…not so much. Atlanta is a beautiful, exciting, blessing of a place. I’ll always love it and what it has done for me as a journalist. But it’s different now
