Lauren Hill’s name has been immortalized at the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, an honor to recognize her brave and inspirational fight against terminal brain cancer while a player at Division III Mount St. Joseph College.

Hill passed away on April 10th due to complications from diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG, which is a brain cancer that normally is found in young children. She was 19 years old. Her story went national when her school appealed to the NCAA to allow them to play a game weeks early to ensure that Hill would have a chance to play in a college basketball game.

The brick, which is pictured below, was purchased by a former Indiana HS all-star named Shannon Freeman-Frogge, as described in this story from the Indianapolis Star. Freeman-Frogge now lives in Utah and never met Hill, but she and her children wrote weekly letters to Hill to let her know just how inspiring she truly was

There are over 6,000 bricks at the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, according to the Star’s story, that are shaped as a basketball with the outline of the state.
 
I thought about posting this. It's well-deserved and speaks well of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.

Meanwhile, Captain Courageous still hasn't chopped the dang thing off. If and when that happens, you can be sure it will go to the highest bidder on eBay or some other auction site.

That's a real cheap shot.
 
I don't think it's a cheap shot at all. I'm not against transgender people, but think the Jenner circus is doing them no favors. Jenner is technically not even transgender.

Rationalize as much as you want, to me it is a clear cheap shot. But I doubt you care.
 
Or maybe just frustration that the media focuses on the wrong things instead of the real stories. Sensationalism and drama are apparently more newsworthy.

I agree that the media often focuses on the ridiculous things. But a statement like "Captain Courageous still hasn't chopped the dang thing off" is pretty cheap.
