There’s no way you could’ve told the kid from out west who grew up dreaming of seeing his name in magazines that he would be doing so. Those thoughts always revolved around basketball publication and the journey has been filled with ups, downs, and, more importantly, great memories and having the trust from athletes, editors, and executives to tell their stories. To have a baseball cover story in a local mag that sits in the two airports of my hometown - where millions pass through - is insane.

I made myself a promise I’ll get better at highlighting these milestones more to look back and remind myself that the kid from out west is doing exactly what he dreamed about. taken in Chicago, Illinois by @c4dunk

Joy isn’t performative—it’s intentional.” 🏀✨

For @flauntmagazine’s Joy Is Contagious issue, I sat down with @carmeloanthony to talk about redefining legacy beyond the game, finding peace, and why every new venture—from wine to wellness—is about building brick by brick.

Melo opened up about resilience, criticism, and how “Stay Melo” has become his compass in life after basketball.

What does legacy mean to you? 👇

Closed out July on a high on a high note.

Thank you @mls and @appletv for the hospitality and invitation to the MLS All-Star Game. It’s always a pleasure to learn from others in sports media and content creation.

Thank you to the team at @jacktaylorpr for the opportunity to speak with @hyperice CEO Jim Huether ahead of the launch of the @nike Air Zoom Hyperslide. The future of recovery will be insane. taken in Charlotte, North Carolina by @c4dunk

Even with the ever changing landscape of media, I never take for granted the stories that are shared with me, and the opportunities I get to experience and learn from. Great week in Austin learning about the world of @motogp . There’s nothing like it. Thank you to the engineers, riders, and staff that were excited to share their passion and insights into the sport. Special thanks to @absbabs419 for a brilliant intro into a sport unlike no other.

Thank you to the WM team for their hospitality last week. I learned so much about the zero-waste initiatives in the lead-up to the @wmphoenixopen, but seeing the behind-the-scenes operations—and hearing firsthand the commitment employees have to sustainability, community, and their mission—was incredibly inspiring.

The golf wasn’t bad either. ⛳️

At the end of August, @nike invited me to run in the Chicago Marathon. My initial reaction was a firm “HELL NO!” But after a few hours of thinking it over, I decided to take the leap—and I’m so glad I did. Running 26.2 miles teaches you a lot about yourself and the people around you who are pushing through the same challenge. Along every turn of the course, spectators were there offering hydration, drinks, music, high fives, and encouragement—each one appreciated and needed. Thank you to everyone who sent encouragement virtually. I appreciated it all. Saying that I’ve completed a full marathon is something I never thought I’d be able to claim, but now I can proudly say I’ve done it. And yes, in case you’re wondering, my ankles and every joint below my waist are definitely stiff and sore, but the journey to that finish line was absolutely worth it. taken in Chicago, Illinois by @c4dunk

Such a great time in Hawaii. Big thanks to the @adidasgolf team for extending the invite. While I need to get in the lab and get my swing down pat, the views, sunshine, and great people more than made up for my golfing haha. taken in Kapalua, Hawaii by @c4dunk

With being part of the flat feet gang, and the older I’ve gotten, I’ve learned the importance of orthotics, insoles and having support for your feet. While making the rounds this past weekend at the Indycar season opener in St. Pete, FL., I put the @moveinsoles All Day to the test and they rival the support of my orthotics without any of the stiffness.

I highly recommend these for those who work long hours on their feet or even for casual wear as the factory-issued insoles are mostly flimsy and offer no true support or comfort. Head over to #move and use code CHRISCASON15OFF for 15 percent off your purchase. Thank me later. taken in Saint Petersburg, Florida by @c4dunk

The coverage of professional sports and athletes has taken me places I never considered or once thought were beyond my reach. The best part has been the knowledge I’ve gained, parts of the world I’ve gotten to see, the connections I’ve made, and getting to see the work that goes into the craft of some of the world’s most elite individuals and seeing the impact they have on their fan bases.

Thank you to @indycar and @ilanared for the hospitality this past weekend. If you’ve never been to a race, get to one! It’s a unique experience for sure. I never thought a kid from the West Side of Chicago would ever be inside of a race car, let alone getting to experience just a small amount of what the drivers feel when they’re competing. taken in Saint Petersburg, Florida by @c4dunk
