Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:
"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."
- The Undertaker (Chokeslam)
- Booker T (Harlem Sidekick)
- Kurt Angle (Angleslam)
- Chris Jericho (Moonsault)
- RVD (Five star Frog Splash)
- Kane (Chokeslam)
- Big Show (K.O punch)
- Kurt Angle (Angle Slam)
- The Rock (Rock Bottom)
- Steve Austin (Stunner)
The GREATEST ending sequence ever. 🔥😭
🎙️ Jason Kidd on Charles Lee: "When you talk about great teams, they all listen to their coach. So, I think the Hornets are listening to Coach Lee right now. And again, he's under the radar... I think he should be Coach of the Year for what he's done so far with this young team."
