Jalen Hurts just hit up Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter for advice on staying a champ
After being crowned Super Bowl MVP, Jalen Hurts didn't hit cruise control. Nope, he immediately went hunting for greatness advice. And who did he turn to? Just two of the greatest champions in sports history: Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter.
Because why settle for one ring when you can build a dynasty?
Jalen Hurts reveals he spoke with Michael Jordan and Jeter about what it takes to repeat as champion
During a press interaction on June 11, Hurts revealed that after winning the Super Bowl, he had private conversations with Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter about how to stay on top and build something lasting.
Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts 'Straight to Work' + Spoke to Michael Jordan & Derek Jeter About Repeat
'I reached out to both MJ and Jeter,'
Hurts said.
'We texted. I wanted to understand what really separates good from elite — how to repeat, how to sustain success.'
He said they shared mindset tips and the mental grind it takes to keep winning when you're already at the top, something both legends mastered in their careers.
The internet is loving Hurts' mindset: "This is
Mamba Mentality
in action"
The reaction online? All respect. No trolling, no jokes just fans hyping up Hurts for seeking knowledge instead of just celebrating.
People are even calling it a "Mamba Mentality move" going out of your way to study greatness and master the mental game.
Jordan and Jeter know exactly what it takes to repeat and Hurts is listening
Let's put this in perspective. Jordan three-peated. Twice. Jeter? Five World Series titles and the undisputed captain of the Yankees. These guys didn't just win, they led, adapted, evolved, and dominated for
years

By reaching out to them, Hurts is basically trying to download their blueprint and apply it to the Eagles' future.
And the timing couldn't be better. After their Super Bowl run, the Eagles will be under the microscope. Can Hurts repeat? Can Philly become a dynasty?
This isn't just a flex, it's a mindset shift. Hurts wants rings, plural. He's asking questions, surrounding himself with greatness, and trying to make sure that this year's win isn't a one-hit wonder.
And when you've got Jordan and Jeter dropping knowledge in your texts? You're not playing checkers, you're building an empire.

"Yeah, I just think he was so calm coming out. You know, he probably could not walk out in tougher conditions with Jasprit running down the hill with the lights on, so, you know, to, I think at one point he was run-a-ball 50 or around that, so. It was great batting with him. I always have a good time out there in the middle with him, and it was goosebumps when he got to 100, you know, you could see what it meant to him. He is such a big part of this dressing room, and it was just great to see him be there 100 not out," Duckett said about Pope's innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal credits Shubman Gill after maiden Test ton in England: 'I love it' Pope has accumulated 2,124 runs in 29 matches at number three position, averaging 45.19 with eight centuries and seven fifties. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo His highest score stands at 205, maintaining a strike rate above 75. Duckett acknowledged Bumrah, who claimed all three English wickets, as the "best bowler in the world" regardless of conditions. "He is good in India on the flattest pitches ever, and you know when he is coming in down the hill with the lights on and it is swinging both ways, it is tough, and I feel like we minimise the damage early on. You know, it could have been a lot worse today, so I think we are pretty happy in the position we're in," Duckett added. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Speaking about Bumrah's bowling style, Duckett elaborated: "First of all, how unique his run-up is. You are obviously waiting and waiting for him to get there, um, and I think just his ability to bowl three or four different balls with no cue. You do not know he is bowling a bouncer or a slower ball or an outswinger or an inswinger until it comes out of his hand, really. He has got such a fast wrist. So that is why you have got to watch the ball so hard with him. " Duckett also praised England pacer Josh Tongue, calling him the "X-Factor" who efficiently dismisses lower-order batsmen. "You know, there's nothing more frustrating than 9, 10, 11 (batters) chipping in with runs and putting on a partnership," he stated. England's day two performance included a solid half-century from Duckett, who scored 62 runs off 94 balls with nine boundaries. His partnership with Pope provided stability after Zak Crawley's early dismissal. India's first innings featured centuries from Jaiswal (101), captain Gill (147), and Pant (134). However, England's Ben Stokes (4/66) and Josh Tongue (4/86) triggered a collapse from 430/4. At stumps, Pope remained unbeaten on 100 with Harry Brook yet to score, while Bumrah proved to be the standout bowler for India with three wickets.

IND vs ENG: Sourav Ganguly warns Shubman Gill - 'India won't get ...'

Ganguly noted India's strong position at 359 for three on day one, suggesting potential for a larger total. "Nobody expects Headingley to be so dry. But what will happen is, if they get 600, it starts getting a bit up and down. India must win this. They won't get this opportunity again," Ganguly told PTI. The team selection saw both leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav and left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh excluded from the playing XI. Poll Will India secure a victory in the first Test against England? Yes, definitely No, England will win It will be a draw "Kuldeep will play slowly. It's a long series. I would have played Arsh. Because of a different angle (for being left-armer). But it's okay. They're good," Ganguly said, adding that Ravindra Jadeja will have to bowl well since he usually struggles away from home. England's bowling attack features Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, and captain Ben Stokes, differing from their previous lineup that included James Anderson and Stuart Broad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo "They bowl too short actually. Halfway through yesterday, they were bowling only short to Shubman Gill. But it's okay. They'll learn. It's just the first Test," said Ganguly. When asked about predicting a 3-1 series win for India, Ganguly responded, "It's too early to say." On Day Two, Jasprit Bumrah claimed the crucial wicket of Joe Root for 28 runs, while Ollie Pope remained unbeaten with a century.

Pope scored 100 runs off 131 balls, including 13 boundaries, and was joined at the crease by Harry Brook, who was yet to score.

Carboni stars in Inter Milan's stoppage-time win over Urawa Reds in Club World Cup
Valentin Carboni scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Inter Milan rallied to beat Urawa Red Diamonds 2-1 on Saturday, eliminating the Japanese side from the FIFA Club World Cup . Urawa took an early lead in the 11th minute through Ryoma Watanabe, who finished a low cross from Takuro Kaneko in front of a lively crowd at Lumen Field in Seattle. Inter came close to equalising in the first half when Lautaro Martinez struck the crossbar with a header, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan later squandered a clear chance in the second half. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 부모님 재활, 꼭 병원까지 가셔야 할까요? 전문가 방문 재활, 지금 신청 가능합니다! 제일리핏케어 지금 문의 Undo — FIFACWC (@FIFACWC) Eventually, Martinez - who also scored in Inter's 1-1 draw with Monterrey - leveled the score in the 78th minute with a clever overhead finish from a Nicolo Barella corner.

"We need to play with pride, stay humble, and know how to suffer," said Martinez post-match, acknowledging the gritty challenge posed by Urawa. The result puts Cristian Chivu 's side in strong contention to reach the last 16, while Urawa Reds, the 2023 Asian Champions League winners, crash out after suffering a second straight defeat. "It's a very bad feeling. We're out now, so our only goal is to fight for one win in our final game," said Urawa coach Maciej Skorza .
