Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.
This may be the most incredible Caitlin Clark video I’ve ever seen. A lost scrimmage video vs the men’s practice team at Iowa in which Caitlin goes berserker mode and scores 22 points in 2 minutes. She is the one.
Jamal Shead's Houston Cougars had a
125-19 record over 4 years. That's 87%.
Between tournaments and regular season play, he played in a grand total of 138 games and lost just 18. That's 120-18..again 87%.
He's currently the third string point guard on a team that's 7-20. That's 26%. In games he's actually played they're 7-18. Either way you slice it, Jamal Shead has lost more games in the pros already than he's lost in the past 4 years combined with Houston.
That's a tough pill to swallow for a guy who values winning this much.
So after leading the Raptors 905 to a win over the Maine Celtics 115-114, Shead sat on the bench as his team gave a lackluster effort against the Chicago Bulls...
He checked into the game at the start of the fourth quarter with his team down 11 after sitting for three quarters.
He put up 10 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, made 4/4 of his field goals and led the charge with a ridiculous 31.7 Box Plus Minus in 12 minutes of play, capping off his career best night with a buzzer beating 3 to close the gap to just 1.
Jamal is a winner. And while he may not be shooting well or winning many games right now, it's only a matter of time before all of his winning habits translate to the NBA level.
The Toronto Raptors have a very special rookie and very special person in Shead. And as @BlakeMurphyODC
wrote as the headline of his feature article on Shead, all the guy does is win.
