I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

Let’s make one thing clear - there is absolutely no room for Dylan Darling slander. Full stop.

Darling gave St. John’s the best moment in 27 years & was a vital winning piece to an unforgettable season.

Take the negativity elsewhere.

Wishing Dylan the absolute best #sjubb

[KJ @KJScouting]

St John’s Dylan Darling was one of the best glue guys in all of college basketball this season.

The 6’1 Junior PG had a strong season where he averaged 7/3/3 along with 1.5 SPG in only 21 MPG.

Darling was one of the best guard defenders in college basketball this season with his mix of instincts and motor. Darlings motor and ability to stay in front of anyone in the POA helped him be one of the most impactful defenders in the country, he’s also an impactful off ball defender with his ability to switch and read passing lanes for steals. On the offensive end Darling has high level passing vision and can find his teammates in the PNR or as a connective passer. He’s also a skilled scorer in the PNR who ranked in the 75th percentile with his mix of finishing and mid range scoring. Darling shot an impressive 60% at the rim this season while also having great pace as a PG who rarely turned the ball over. Darling also uses his ability to get steals to create a two way player on the other end. There’s not many players in college basketball with Darling’s mix of motor, defense, passing, finishing, and pace.

UNTOLD: JAIL BLAZERS premieres April 14.

In the early 2000s, the Portland Trail Blazers were stacked with talent—and surrounded by controversy.

Through firsthand stories from Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, and Bonzi Wells, this is an unfiltered look at a team caught between brilliance and notoriety—and the media storm that followed.

Dylan Darling told Rick Pitino to run the play for him that resulted in the game-winning layup

Pitino quips: "Wait a second, he hasn't scored a bucket and wants to run a play for himself?!"

[TNT Sports U.S. @TNTSportsUS]

"Yelling at me, per usual." 🤣

@ESPNAssignDesk You do not have permission to use it — as I’ve told you numerous times in DMs. Shouldn’t have laid off all those reporters if you wanted locker room content.

[HTB ♨️ @HenryTheBlasian]

These the best warm ups I’ve seen in a long time. Please say they’re in the NBA Store.

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

If you are a small guard, that has big goals, watch Dylan Darling play basketball

Plays so hard, makes the right play, plays off two feet, and has a chip on his shoulder

St Johns has a DUDE

[Back 2 Back @yelbeeez]

Dan Hurley on Demary turnovers “we tried to prepare him for Darling…he kinda times your dribble, times the cadence of your dribble”

I’m old enough to remember when some fans thought Church Bells didnt belong on the court.

He’s literally at the top of UConn’s scouting report 😂

[Torch Sports @torchSports]

Dan Hurley on Dylan Darling:

"He's a great point guard. To do whatever he does, he has made a huge difference. His ability, the paint, the middy, the lefty drive, he made things tough on our guards. He's a tough-tough guy, he's a really good point guard."

An incredible run for Devin Booker’s debut signature sneaker.
Which pair is your favorite?

[Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24]

Devin Booker on Steph Curry wearing his shoes:

"He's in sneaker free agency right now...the day after he's done with Under Armour he asked for a few pairs, obviously I sent him all the hot ones and I was happy to see him in them tonight"
