On this day 26 years ago I made history….Olympic champion. Fastest man in history. First man in history to be Olympic champion, World champion and world record holder all at the same time. Been serenaded by the Canadian anthem is one of my greatest memories #Atlanta96 #Olympics

Forget the power rankings and forget the lack of attention south of the border. The @Raptors down Lowry, Ibaka, McCaw and Thomas took care of business and put the @NBA on notice. We ain’t taking a step back, we’re pushing forward. #WeTheNorth #Raptors.

Let me get this straight. my guy Masai traded DeRozan and Poeltl for Kawhi and Danny Green, kept Pascal and Anunoby, Gasol at the deadline, constructed a 58 win, load managed team & didn’t even finish top 3 in EOY?. I know they vote before the playoffs, but c’mon. #NBAAwards.

9.84 seconds that changed my life forever 🥇. July 27, 1996 was the day I became the first man to be #Olympic Champion, World Champion & World Record holder. Young Canadian talent led by @KingsleySC, @De6rasse & others means that the future is bright for sprint in #Canada 💪🏿💨.

In a race, my attention was solely on me. I spent a lot of time preparing to be mentally and physically ready to perform to the best of my ability. The last thing I was focused on was who was in the front row & what they were doing. But hey, that’s just me 🤷🏿♂️. #Drake #WetheNorth.

The great Don Whitman once said, “You’ve gotta live Saturday night in Atlanta.”. 23 years ago today, I continued my gold medal haul at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, this time with my teammates. I promised my teammates coaches and staff rings WHEN we won, and we did 🇨🇦🥇.

Good on both @kevinlove and @DeMar_DeRozan for being brave enough to talk about their struggles with mental health and anxiety. You’re the real MVPs. #mentalhealth #SickNotWeak
Earlier this season, @KevinLove had a panic attack. Now he wants to talk about it.

I’m at a loss for words. Kobe created an identity that young athletes grew up trying to embody. He attacked every game, every play, every moment with everything he had. If we needed a reminder of just how precious life is, this is it. R.I.P. 🙏🏿 🐍.
Kobe Bryant was killed Sunday in a helicopter crash, as first reported by TMZ and confirmed by @wojespn. He was 41.

Casual / 4.22 / 40 yard dash without spikes for my guy @usainbolt⚡️ in Atlanta. That ties the record for fastest NFL time. There’s something about that city and records. .
Usain Bolt just rolled out of bed and casually ran a 4.22 40 yard dash for shits and giggles. Deion Sanders ran a 4.27
