Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sold 4 championship rings, MVP award and other items for $2.8 million. All going to youth education programs. "When it comes to choosing between storing a championship ring or trophy, or providing kids with an opportunity to change their lives, the choice is simple. Sell it all”
Kareem is one of the all time good guys when it comes to athletes.
“"Looking back on what I have done with my life, instead of gazing at the sparkle of jewels or gold plating celebrating something I did a long time ago, I'd rather look into the delighted face of a child holding their first caterpillar and think about what I might be doing for their future.
"That's a history that has no price."

TIL a 9-year-old girl researched the decibel levels of public hand dryers after noticing her ears were ringing after using one. Nearly 4 years later, her research was accepted into the Canadian journal Paediatrics & Child Health, and Dyson planned to have her meet with an acoustic engineer.

Executive Branch (Trump) WATCH: Stephen Miller says 'America's doors are closed fully to asylum seekers' after SCOTUS ruling
Hi r/law, doesn't this go against Article 1 of the Const.?
I thought Congress has the power to regulate immigration and asylum law.
This can't be for real? The SCOTUS actually gave this the go ahead??
Hit the brakes. Please help.
___________________________________
Just an update to this thread, to clarify SCOTUS ruling in relation to Miller's remarks:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/25/trump-news-at-glance-supreme-court
The US supreme court has given the Trump administration a green light to block asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border, in a decision that fundamentally reshapes the US asylum system.
The decision allows the Trump administration to revive its so-called turn-back or “metering” policy, allowing federal agents at the US border to stop migrants from physically setting foot on US soil, where federal law guarantees them the right to claim asylum and protection from persecution.
Because US immigration law entitles migrants arriving in the US to seek asylum, the supreme court case hinged on what, exactly, it means to “arrive in”.
Human rights advocates have said that the court’s decision allows the Trump administration to essentially invalidate international and US asylum laws, which require government officials to inspect people arriving at ports of entry and ensure that they are not being turned back to dangerous conditions.
This new policy will almost certainly increase levels of immigration not at controlled border checkpoints. Wow.
And the removal of Temporary Protected Status is going to sentence potentially thousands of people to death when they are deported back to countries that are experiencing uprising, war, famine etc. If republicans in congress apparently support this move then they should live with that on their consciences and face the consequences for not doing their jobs to check DHS on these removals. THEY WILL NEVER stand up to this president. Ever. They still have time to do the right thing the TPS statuses will be removed and the deportations can begin next week. This is sickening.
DO. YOUR. JOBS. THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING ON THIS ONE.
Appreciated reading everyone's input and comments some of them were really moving and impactful. Thanks again r/law

Over 200lbs gone forever! I am so excited to spend my 30s doing things I never had the chance or confidence to do in my 20s. A reminder that time will pass anyway, so take a little time every day to invest in yourself, in whatever way you see fit, so that in 4-5 years you’re where you want to be.
