What is love? Love is playing every game as if it's your last! - Michael Jordan

I was raised by parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their race or background, so I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be getting worse as of late. I know this country is better than that, and I can no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers – who put their lives on the line every day to protect us all – are respected and supported.

Winning has a price. And leadership has a price. So I pulled people along when they didn't want to be pulled. I challenged people when they didn't want to be challenged. And I earned that right because [other] teammates came after me. They didn't endure all the things that I endured.

"Devemos ter sempre em mente que há um "preço a ser pago", um longo caminho a ser percorrido. O comprometimento com o pro- cesso, com nossas equipes e nossas metas nos faz seguir em frente, continuar lutando e nos dedicando, mesmo diante de grandes dificuldades, na busca permanente de nos- sos objetivos."
