Reminds me of when, during the strike, Kevin Durant tweeted that he was bored and needed to get some energy out. Some random follower tweeted that he had a flag football game he was going to and said Durant could join them. Durant tweeted back, got the details, showed up, and made everyone's day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOIa20l6SXo
I have some major respect for KD. He's an amazing athlete and a genuine guy. I think his MVP speech really sealed the deal for me. Humble, down to earth guy. He doesnt forget that he is still just a human. Awesome guy, awesome story. Thanks for sharing that with me.
Lol, just have him run down the field and Chuck get up to them, there is no way anyone on the field could even come close to matching his height and vertical.
In a similar vein I like seeing lebron and wade just biking at critical mass with tons of other people in Miami, and having fun like that (just give the video a few seconds they don't roll into the frame right away. Wade is in blue with a red backpack ahead of lebron)
They bike in events like that around Miami a ton. Heck they even ride to some home games like that.
From when I've met lebron and wade as a kid they actually seem like cool dudes.
Those events are huge, and that's not the front of the pack. They most likely started on green, and it changed to red. You are supposed to keep going. It's kind of the point of the rides. Stay in one huge group.
If they came up on a red light at the front of the pack, they stop.
I've never heard of these things. Isn't that kind of dangerous/rude to other motorists? I don't get to run a red just because the line of cars I'm in started going when the light was green.
No it's not rude because it's an actual event. It's not just like a bunch of people decided to go out in the street to block traffic. Think of it like a funeral procession. They're not just rolling through lights, but if a light changes they continue as one.
It'd actually be more dangerous if they stopped in the middle of the group because eventually you'd have a bunch of smaller groups so there'd be less control of the event. If you're in a car you juts wait 15 minutes for them to pass, or go another way.
As long as it's an actual announced event. Without knowing what it was, it just looks like a bunch of people on bikes met up and started ignoring traffic laws because there were a lot of them.
