Over three days, fans will be able to meet and get autographs from top athletes such as Peyton and Eli Manning, Kevin Durant and Derek Jeter, attend dozens of panels and buy tons of merch to cheer on their favorite teams. “I walked into Comic Con … and thought this thing is insane… there’s quarter of a million people dressed in costumes,” Michael Rubin, CEO of Fanatics, the $31 billion sports merchandise and collectible behemoth behind the event, told The Post. -via New York Post / August 15, 2024

Dwyane Wade: ‘We’ve been respecting the rest of the world since 2004, since we won the bronze medal in ’04, and every year it gets better and better. The game grows around the world. It’s exposed, anyone has an opportunity. You can’t hide anything anymore, you get to see it all. Serbia, France, Canada, Germany, they will be back in four years. There’s 68 NBA players in this field alone and will probably be more in another four years, so the world is all good at the game of basketball. It is the US game, we continue to keep dominating the game when it comes to gold medals, but it’s not going to be easy. This is not 1992, everybody needs to get that out of their minds.’ -via reddit / August 12, 2024
