He didn't do well in Boston. The terrain quite close ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordanogavin 5th Gear August 11 Share August 11 US won the men basketball gold. With Chef Curry sealed it again in the last 2 minutes with 4 consecutive 3 pointers putting the French out of the games. Other countries like Serbia, France, German etc are catching up with the margin getting closer. In the 90s when NBA players start to play in Olympic games with the like of Michael Jordan the margin is ~30-50 points lead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRa-8b-dfG8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

French play extremely well and consistent and score multiple aces in serving. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stary Supercharged August 11 Share August 11 (edited) On 8/10/2024 at 2:31 PM, Jellandross said: Other than money the social life is also abnormal. Our company invited Michael Phelps to one of our annual conference for a talk. He said that he basically lead a lonely life before retirement even with families and friends around him. He had a regime of "no off days" 365 a year and were not there even during Thanksgiving and Christmas which are super important to Americans. He "only began a normal life" after he retired. Life is just a series of trade-offs. For those who aspires fame, power, top money, etc they already know that the trade-off is their personal freedom among many other things. It is the same even for the ordinary man. For work and income, they trade-off their health and relationship. The right question everyone should ask then is are they happy? If they are, then all those trade-offs are worthy. If not, then they should just quit what they are doing and do something else.
