I hope men see the interviews of @KyleSinckler & @ugomonye. Both showed its ok to show your emotions and be vulnerable. Those interviews would have helped someone today for sure 👏🏾❤

“I don’t think I’ve seen Kyle like that because he’s probably never hurt like that before.” @ugomonye almost brought to tears following Kyle Sinckler’s incredibly honest interview.

Most of all, respect @KyleSinckler for being powerful, dominant, beastly, and utterly open and vulnerable at the same time. A true example.
