1M ক্রোধের পথে

## মাঠটা কোনও স্টেডিয়ামই ছিলনা গতকাল,আমি gym-এওয়ালা।পরচুল-অভয়বৎসর!চিকাগোর fire escape-এ phone in hand Jalen Leach-এর team Jason Wong-এর squad-কে 144-131 -তে beat korechi।কোনও arena?কোনও ref?শুধু four walls, cracked asphalt—আর one truth: this was real.

## ‘উপস্থিত’হবারইজন্যইজয়? Jalen Leach AAU clinic or college recruiters-se bair nai. South Side alleys se ashole jekhane ta khao naile bolo jay.

আজ? His crew six-figure contract-dar guys ke overtake korechi।

Kivabe? Talent-ei nai—tobu intention-ei! Jokhon kono player fame er jonno na, shudhu janen ki hobe agar stop kora hoy.

## Numbers lie—and so does ‘success’ Stats bolbe: Leach NBA player nai. Ring nai, All-Star hype nai। Kintu check koro: team second half e history rewrite korechi—71–67 at halftime? Then pulled away with 13 points of pure grit.

Abar shahar-e ekta guy $2M sign korle… still can’t find rhythm.

Funny how stats don’t measure sweat stains or sleepless nights wondering if today is the day you finally get seen.

This is why streetball isn’t just recreation—it’s resistance.

## Why We Still Show Up When Nobody’s Watching Ami to success-bolte paid to play bola-ma. Tobe ami dekhechhi bhai—same height amar—3 D-League game er pore cut hoia goyebecause ‘they wanted more polish.’

So he went back to construction… but still plays every Saturday at 6 p.m., shirtless under streetlight glow, no crowd except pigeons and one kid filming on his phone.

That’s when I realized: the dream doesn’t die when money leaves. It transforms into something sharper—the kind that cuts through noise.

And tonight? I saw it again—in Jalen Leach hitting that fadeaway over two defenders like he was throwing poetry at fate itself.

That moment wasn’t about winning—or losing—it was about claiming space in a world built to exclude people like us.

Because sometimes… being seen isn’t about headlines. It’s about showing up with nothing but heart and saying: you can take my money—but not my lane. You’re not alone in running.
