    “Sometimes before you become who you are, things have to go get worse before it gets better.” I profiled DeMar DeRozan @ringer. A story about joy, grief, resilience, mental health, and the sacred bond between fathers and sons: theringer.com/nba/2022/2/18/…

    When I was reporting my B/R story on Gigi Bryant, I was really struck by how much Kobe invested in making other girls Gigi's age better. He would know them by name, know their moves. What smoothies they liked. He came up with nicknames for them, talked to their parents often.

    "I can’t let her down. I can’t fail." My profile of Davante Adams @ringer. It’s no coincidence that the Packers’ star WR is shattering records as he finds his footing—and motivation—off the field. A story about fatherhood, masculinity, love, football: theringer.com/nfl/2021/1/14/…
