Congrats, Stanley Johnson on winning a @B_LEAGUE Championship in Japan!
"Coming over here, Stanley can't play. Stanley can't shoot. Now you can say Stanley is a champion."
STREAK SHOOTING
Put 2:00 on the clock. You must make two in a row to get a point. Every consecutive make after that is worth another point.
If you miss you, have to get two in a row to add to your score.
Anthony Edwards explains why he dapped up the Spurs with 8 minutes left:
“Yeah it’s 8 minutes but we not going back in the game. When you win a playoff series everybody is celebrating at the end of the game. They’ll be smiling while I’m pissed off. I was like ‘let me go ahead and congratulate these boys because I’m not going to be laughing with y’all after you whooped my ass.’ I didn’t want to go dal them n***** up at all. But then what would they have said About me? That’s why I’m me and y’all are whoever y’all are.”

Two things that can instantly make a team stand out at any level:
1. Elite shooting
2. Ability to overwhelm you with defensive pressure
If you have both it’s usually a wrap
Old heads vs new game 😂
Step back… step through… BUCKET.
‘That’s a travel!’
Nah… you just can’t guard it 👀
Stay UNGUARDABLE.
No 🧢 I hate when I get hit with a step through.. I feel dumb🤣
Dan Hurley on the two personas every head coach must master:
The Jockey 🏇, and the Corner Man. 🥊
In practice — you are the jockey. You push. You challenge. You demand more than they think they have. You stretch them past comfort so execution becomes inevitable.
On game night — you become the corner man. You steady. You simplify. You remind them who they are. Confidence replaces correction.
Preparation is where you build them.
Performance is where you believe in them.
Basketball Scriptures!
Play to your strengths.
Play off 2 Feet.
Limit Turnovers.
Make free throws & layups.
Be able to catch & shoot.
You check these boxes you’ll find PT!
Watching a PG dominate a game by passing the ball is special to watch - in a world so hyper focused on scoring, it’s amazing to watch a player dominate by PASSING.
Draymond on the Kuminga drama:
"He's dealing with it better than probably I would. The way he's dealt with this at 23 years old I tip my hat to him because he's staying engaged, he's in here working out everyday his attitude is the same everyday. He comes in with a smile...the way he's reacted and responds to this will not only carry the rest of his basketball career, but his demeanor will carry him the rest of his life well because he's been incredible. He's staying ready. He's one of the best young guys I've been around"
Chicago lost someone very important today. RIP to Kristen Pierce-Sherrod. She inherited Harold’s Chicken from her father Harold Pierce and grew the brand to levels few could imagine.
Rest well and I will make sure to get some Harold’s this weekend. 🕊️
Steve Nash advice to undersized guards 🔥
When you’re undersized, skill isn’t optional, it’s the equalizer.
You can’t rely on height or raw athleticism to level the playing field.
You have to become elite at your craft: knockdown shooting, advanced ball control, and a high basketball IQ that keeps defenders guessing.
Unpredictability is your advantage.
Change pace. Read help early. See the floor one step ahead.
And for small guards, throwing strikes matters.
Deliver passes directly into the shooter’s pocket, it raises shooting percentages, builds trust, and turns simple reads into easy assists.
If you’re a guard looking to seriously upgrade your skill set,
