Josh Hart:
"Everybody wants to be the guy that scores the most, that puts the ball in the basket and that's not everybody's path. That wasn't my path and sometimes that's a tough pill to swallow but when you embrace that when you're a star in your role and you take pride in doing the little things that breeds winning basketball. For me as embraced as I was in this city wearing this jersey that sacrifice was easy. Some days it was tough don't get me wrong but you sacrifice for moments like this"
This is leadership
• No Finger Pointing
• No Bad Body Languare
• Vocal
• Positive
There is a reason this team is where they are and Jalen Brunson has won at every level
University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson notes that UH brought in only four transfer portal players for visits this offseason and all four are now Cougars. "Very rarely do we miss on kids anymore," Sampson says talking at a UH Coaches' Caravan event at Lewis Jewelers in Webster. "We brought in four portal kids. Signed them all. We didn't bring in anybody else.
"Everybody treats the portal like it's Halloween. 'What else do we get? What else do we get?'
"The thing about the portal is I've always been loyal to the kids within the program. You start bringing in all these kids from outside, those kids inside what they should do is transfer. . .
"I've always been loyal to the kids that's been loyal to our program."
Lebron James: “Estos niños hablaron muchisimo toda la serie y en la cancha se cagaron encima. Aunque peor es Durant, jugó un solo juego, ganamos y se volvió llorando a su casa bien cogido.”
LARGA VIDA AL REY LEBRON 👑🐐
Jeff Teague says LeBron James is different, we’ve never seen anything like this:
“He is the Goat bro. Yeah I swear, he is the best ever.”

Stephen A. Smith says he finds it a tad bit odd that we sit here today and the Lakers got two injured stars on their team and neither of them are LeBron James:
“Let me tell you something people should be embarrassed about. I’m sick and tired of watching this man at age 41 now in his 23rd year. How the hell he healthy and Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves ain’t healthy? I mean, when does the shame kick in? And I’m just using them as an example to all these NBA players out here. If the man is known as spending a million and a half dollars on his body to keep healthy, right? Why the hell ain’t you doing it? You making enough money if you’re the average NBA player. League average salary is over 10 million a year. Quite a few of y’all are getting paid 40, 50 million a year. How come you can’t take care of your body the way LeBron James takes care of his body? I mean, damn. Where’s your pride? Where’s your dignity? I’m just wondering about that. That’s how I feel about it.”

The Lakers reportedly want LeBron James to return to the team next season, per @mcten
“If James wants to play a 24th season, he would be welcomed back in L.A., sources told ESPN. Pelinka declared before the start of this season that he would love it if James retired a Laker, and, sources told ESPN, that sentiment was meant to reflect a 2026 retirement or a 2027 retirement, if James intends to extend his career.”

Kendrick Perkins if the NBA is ready for life after LeBron James:
“Is the NBA ready for life after LeBron? Hell no. Hell no. They’re not…. We come on television every damn day and if LeBron James played the night before, we gonna talk about LeBron James the next day”

If you can’t play through contact, you can’t play at the next level.
College coaches don’t recruit excuses.
They recruit force, balance, and finish.
Get bumped?
Re-establish your line.
Attack the rim.
That’s the separator.

Stop waiting on a D1 offer that may never come. Do not sleep on NAIA, D3, or D2 programs. There are great coaches and opportunities at each level. If you wait too long for something that may not happen, you might miss an opportunity on a school that wanted you. Don’t be ignorant.
