https://www.instagram.com/p/BGPPSjDlCEA/ Muhammad Ali and I share the same birthday and that alone made me feel I had purpose. Yes, he was a great boxer, the greatest of all but as a courageous humanitarian, that is where his brilliance spoke loudest to me. He made me believe I could become HIM. I could be my own man, use my own voice, stand up for my beliefs AND be respected for what I do on my battle field which is the court. He was strong, proud and vocal... a black man who lead by words and action. Misunderstood and unappreciated for most of his life. Thanks for standing for all but especially your own. It was always my honor to be in his presence and I am a better man for it. #RIPALI 6/4 過世的拳王阿里跟 Wade同天生日 (1/17) 阿里讓 Wade相信自己也能像他一樣 達到偉大的成就 過世的這天，各界都在twitter轉推阿里以前的消息，今天我也看了一整天的阿里舊聞 1960~70年代，阿里為了人權平等(黑人平等待遇)、世界和平很敢直接發聲 像是越戰就直接不去從軍，然後被禁賽就接受禁賽 也不顧世俗眼光改信回教、改名 "穆罕默德‧阿里" 阿里最有趣的應該是這則往事 披頭四還沒在美國成名前，曾經造訪美國，分別去拜訪阿里跟 阿里對手的拳擊館 結果阿里的對手(Sonny Liston)仇恨白人 要披頭四滾出去，嘲笑他們 "我家的狗都比你們會打鼓" 阿里對披頭四就不同了 不但禮遇他們，要他們別怕，要怕的人是 Liston，他不敢進我的拳擊館 告訴披頭四 "你們會跟我一樣偉大" 就在拳擊擂台上跟阿里擺pose，讓現場記者寫新聞 也順道倡導黑人、白人應受同等待遇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ZZwYwkqfg&t=1m35s --
