Pablo Escobar and his son Juan Pablo in front of the White House in Washington.
A lot of inmates talk about doing hard time. But a man as feared, powerful, and rich as Pablo Escobar did no such thing as hard time. He had chosen and built the prison, named The Cathedral, himself and had even managed to get his own personnel assigned as guards. Inside, the prison looked more like a luxury mansion than jail that housed some of the most vicious criminals Colombia had ever produced (photo below). Every ‘cell’ had a television, VCR, stereo, and refrigerator. The central part of the prison had been changed into a game room, containing a billiard, roulette tables, and fitness equipment. Visitors were always welcome as Escobar and others greeted family and friends, as well as famous athletes and high class hookers.This outrageous life of the rich and criminal within prison became too much for the Colombian government when they discovered Escobar was continuing ordering murders from inside prison walls.

Muhammad Ali and Elvis:
"Elvis was my close personal friend. He came to my Deer Lake training camp about two years before he died. He told us he didn't want nobody to bother us. He wanted peace and quiet and I gave him a cabin in my camp and nobody even knew it. When the cameras started watching me train, he was up on the hill sleeping in the cabin. Elvis had a robe made for me. I don't admire nobody, but Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you'd want to know." - Muhammad Ali

1925 New York Rens:
On February 13, 1923 the first African-American professional basketball team -The New York Renaissance- was organized. They began as the Spartan Braves of Brooklyn, renamed themselves the Spartan Five, before settling on the name Renaissance; an ode to Harlem's Renaissance Ballroom. The Rens were created by the "Father of Black Basketball" Robert J. Douglas. During the 1932-33 regular season, the Rens compiled a record of 120-8 (six of those losses came at the hands of the Celtics, who the Rens did beat eight times). During that season, the Rens won 88 consecutive games, a mark that has never been matched by a professional basketball team. In 1939, the Rens were 112-7 and won the first World Professional Basketball Championship in Chicago - the first all African-American team to win a world title in any sport, when they beat the Oshkosh All-Stars, an all-white team, 34-25. From their inception 'til their last game on March 21, 1949, they had a won-loss record of 2,588-529.
