"America, I wish I could just make up something to sound smart. ... This is just ridiculous." Charles Barkley reacts to Wemby's monstrous 29 PT, 15 REB statline at the half 😮

No changing pivot foot No carrying the ball No hop step gather No foul baiting Just the purest handle and shot ever

“It was ridiculous, man. The stuff he was shooting and making… People on the bench were calling him a sicko. It was astonishing. Dude doesn’t get tired… I don’t even know what to say.” Yaxel on watching Steph go off 💯

Here’s #Gonzaga head coach Mark Few on the eligibility limbo of three of his players: “The best expectation would be the NCAA just lets these guys play. It’s really unfortunate that they’re taking this stance. I’m not sure why we are sticking to targeting this one specific group. Our guys are wonderful, good students and these are the type of guys we should have in college basketball.”

Steve Nash shares the truth about the journey to greatness. "You don't have to be the chosen one." "The secret is to build the resolve and spirit to enjoy the plateaus - the times when it doesn't feel like you're improving and you question why you're doing this." Most people quit during the plateau. Learn to embrace it. "If you're patient, the plateaus will become springboards." Progress isn't linear. The flat moments aren't wasted - they're building. "Never stop striving, reaching for your goals until you get there." "But the truth is, even when you get there - even when you get here, standing on this stage - it's the striving, fighting, pushing yourself to the limit every day that you'll miss and you'll long for." "You'll never be more alive than when you give something everything you have." The destination isn't the reward - the journey is. Enjoy the process and fall in love with the climb because that's where life happens.

Steph Curry says the first test of whether someone really wants to become great is if someone has to tell them to go to the gym “I always tell kids now, nobody should have to tell you you should go to the gym, right? As a kid I was that type of kid, I was going to find a gym wherever.” “My dad played in the league, so it’s not like the access wasn’t there, but he couldn’t be the one telling me it’s this time, ‘What we doing today?’ If I’m not the one pushing that, start there.” “It always became just a joy of finding ways to get better. Every day I was just exploring, trying stuff. Never really satisfied with the level that I was shooting. Even if I had the greatest workout, I’m probably thinking about the couple of misses that I had. I was always curious about how can I get better the next session?” “Just exposing myself to different thought processes, being uncomfortable, getting in gyms with players better than me.” “If you’re not getting anything out of it, there’s that internal voice that’s like, ‘I probably coasted today.’ Or, ‘No, I did something. I got something out of this today.’..” “When I got to the league, I thought I was preparing myself for the NBA journey… Just putting myself around people who knew what they were talking about and pushing me in the right direction.”

Geno Auriemma says the hardest part of coaching isn’t winning games but instead dealing with parents who believe their child should play 35 minutes every game “My job is hard. It’s hard because, in the world that we live in today, parents are so delusional. Every one of them thinks their kid is better than Maya, better than Stewie, better than Paige, better than anybody.” “They think they should play 35 minutes every single game. These kids are under so much pressure that if they don’t live up to that, they’re not having any fun.” “What makes my job hard is trying to make sure these kids all understand that it can be a lot of fun, but everything has to be in perspective.” “Sometimes the hardest part of my job is that we’ve all kind of lost perspective of how all this works and what it means.” “Winning games and all that stuff, that’s not hard. It’s the other stuff that’s hard.”

If you watched your 1. Missed shots 2. Turnovers 3. Amount of standing watching the Ball 4. 1st 2 steps to the offensive glass, running the floor and in recovery defensively 5. How quick you get back on D after a turnover, missed shot or non call. You’d get better QUICKLY

PLAYERS: Soon your season, your coaches, and your teammates will ask what you did all summer. You won't have to even open your mouth to respond because your actions, attitude, conditioning , and results will speak for you.

Your assistant coach sees everything. The quiet kid who’s struggling. The moment the team needs a lift. The thing you missed. They don’t say a word. They just handle it. Appreciate them.

The best teams have reserves who star in their roles and starters who practice like they're trying to make the team. 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦.

10 Inconvenient Truths of Coaching 1. Not every kid wants to be great. 2. You will often be misunderstood. 3. Some parents care more about playing time than team success. 4. Your best players aren’t always your best leaders. 5. No system works without buy-in. 6. Success brings criticism, too. 7. Culture isn’t built in a week; it’s built daily. 8. You can’t coach every player the same way. 9. Wins don’t always reflect your impact. 10. The job takes more from you than it gives… until years later. Still worth every second. Still a great profession.
