RIP Muhammad Ali
When I was a child I idolised two men. The first was Steve Austin, the other was Muhammad Ali.

As a huge fan of his and as a boxer of the Islamic faith, I am deeply saddened by the news of his passing. Muhammad Ali had inspired me to start hitting the heavy bag and start fighting towards a professional level, it is extremely hard to hold back the tears. He had no fear of death, and he fought Parkinson's to the 12th round of a 30 year fight. But his fans that love him should remember what he believed in and where he knew he, and all of us would all end up one day. A quote from the greatest of all time himself:
"We have one life, it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last." -Muhammad Ali
رحم الله على روح محمد علي
See you soon, Champ.

He did. Think SC knew that.
I'm not even sure why he's six million dollars.

Uhh... no. I tried to see who else was named Steve Austin, but nothing came up. The Six Million Dollar Man has just been The Six Million Dollar Man to me.
I'm not even sure why he's six million dollars.

Muhammad Ali’s daughter shares story of her father’s final moments
http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more...wEo?li=BBnb7Kz
Muhammad Ali’s daughter Hana shared a remarkable story of her father’s final moments in a Twitter post published on Saturday.
Ali died at age 74 late Friday night, surrounded by his family in Arizona. He is widely considered one of the greatest boxers ever and one of the most influential athletes of all time.
Hana Ali, one of Ali’s nine children, shared an anecdote from the scene at her father’s bedside as he died.
“We all tried to stay strong and whispered in his ear, ‘You can go now. We will be okay. We love love. Thank you. You can go back to God now.’ All of us were around him hugging and kissing him and holding his hands, chanting the Islamic prayer. All of his organs failed but his HEART wouldn’t stop beating. For 30 minutes...his heart just keep beating. No one had ever seen anything like it. A true testament to the strength of his Spirit and Will!”

I was eight or nine years old. My grandmother was sick and in the hospital, sharing a room with an elderly woman who had a seemingly inexhaustible string of visitors. It was Muhammad Ali's aunt.
I saw him just once. My parents and I had stepped through the hospital doors on our way to the car. He was heading in. I looked up at him; it was like trying to take in a skyscraper from the ground. I stood in his shadow. He looked down at me and smiled the same brash, cocky smile that every opponent, every fan, every promoter, every single person who ever passed his way saw. But when it came to me, I can honestly say it was warm, gentlemanly, 100% authentic. A winning smile in every sense of the word.
For the rest of the day, I floated on air.

Too bad you didnt get a picture.
We share a hometown (Louisville, KY). A lot of people here have seen or met him in person over the years. One of my Facebook friends mentioned that when he worked as an usher on Millionaire's Row one year during the Kentucky Derby, Ali came to him and shook his hand before heading in. That's just the kind of man he was.
There's a Muhammad Ali museum here in Louisville, too. I have a friend who works there. I've never been, and sadly I've heard mixed opinions about the quality of the experience. But I know Ali and his family have been heavily involved in the museum's educational and philanthropic efforts. Last I heard, they were developing a whole floor of the museum dedicated to Ali's values and principals alone. I know that's the kind of guff people often say about important figures, but Muhammad Ali really did have a deeply held view on how to live one's life with strength, integrity, and love.
