@NateDuncanNBA First one that comes to mind is Bird’s pass to Dennis Johnson after he stole the inbounds from Isaiah

@RedactedIguana There’s a difference between trying and actually executing. And they have an elite supporting cast, not just good. Players who would be top 2 players on many other teams.
Getting talented dudes like White and Zinger and Jrue to be role players is a huge separator.

What many hoopers don’t realize is that it’s not always about what you’re doing that separates, it’s with what level of intensity, focus, passion, and joy you are doing it.
If you are locked in and intentional, you will get better.
There’s a reason these dudes made Team USA

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

These type of defensive drills are good enough for the best players in the world playing on Team USA

You will still have high school and middle school kids going through the motions like they are a waste of time

Shaq & Ernie: Lol 😂

If you do any sort of youth hoops coaching, this thread is gold.
Create an environment where players see you as an ally to help them figure out the challenges that get presented. Celebrate successes and support them through struggles. And find the joy in the process!

Coaching my daughter's 13U AAU team for 5 games over a weekend brought some thoughts. 

Here's what stood out (besides the fun):

@Coachm_m @mitch_blanko Thing is, she might not be the best player on the court next game. Paige is special too.

@stevejones20 Feel it’s such an underrated part of great defenses. They’re not perfect. It’s The 2nd and third efforts when stuff breaks down that lowers the eff. of those quality looks by getting that late contest, getting in the way. And knowing when the move is to stay put based on KYP

[Doug McCooeye @DougMcCooeye]

@NBA_University So they were -32 in the other 12 minutes? That’s crazy.

@SravanNBA It’s silly and arbitrary. Voters should just factor games/minutes played into their evaluation and decide how much weight or not to give it.

@zachdropstweets Fantastic. Sometimes the internet is awesome
