Gregg Popovich shares his final message and it has nothing to do with wins and losses.
"The wins and losses are all crap. The highs and lows are all crap. It's illusory. It doesn't really exist."
"What exists is seeing these guys and their kids. Those relationships with your assistant coaches - everybody else you're with - your colleagues, your friends."
"'Cause that's what you take with you as you move along."
The best leaders and coaches invest in people.
"All those wins or losses - they fade away. They fade away."
"But those relationships stick with you forever. And that's where the self-esteem and the self-satisfaction comes."
A must-listen message for all coaches, players, parents, and teach out there.
Great leadership isn't one style. It's knowing your people well enough to give them what they need. Invest in the relationships.
Care about people, hold them to their potential, and lead in your style.

Timeline cleanse:
There is a freshman on my team. I jokingly asked him before the game how many steals would he get. He responded & said as many as the lord allows. I wasn’t expecting that lol.
Come to find out he reads scripture and prays on his own before every game.
"This is the biggest lesson of my life, as a team there is no better experience than what we just lived."
Wemby is determined to use these NBA Finals as fuel to motivate him and the Spurs 💯
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"
Mike Brown dropped a definition about winning in life.
“If you get knocked down in life and you’re able to get back up and keep fighting - that’s a fricking win.”
You need to hear this.
Success isn’t always winning.
Sometimes it’s refusing to stay down
From Nova to Nueva York 🤝
Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, & Josh Hart are the 1st teammate trio to win both an NCAA title (2016 Villanova) & an NBA title (2026 Knicks),
.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.
Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.
A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.
Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.
28 years and Hegseth cancels it. This isn’t anti-DEI. It’s hate designed to push them out of service. — Air Force cites DEI ban in cancellation of wreath-laying honoring women vets https://t.co/Lu6vBCVJ8R
Sec. Hegseth’s actions continue to be despicable – and they certainly aren’t representative of the Army I served in.
We’ve repeatedly seen how this White House has disparaged and mistreated both active-duty service members and the veterans who raised their hand to serve this country. I’m glad that people are continuing to stand up and speak out.

Sydney Carter is proof that you don't have to dim your light to be taken seriously.
A former WNBA player, national champion, and now a coach with the Texas Women's Basketball program, she has shown that excellence and authenticity can coexist.
While some focused on what she wore, she stayed focused on what she was building impact, leadership, and opportunities for young women.
Her message is simple: be confident, be excellent, and be yourself.
And that's exactly what she does every day.
The Texas Women's Basketball icon reminds us that success doesn't require shrinking who you are. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is show up fully as yourself.
The world needs more women who are unapologetically themselves.
“To have him here to watch me on the biggest stage is the best thing ever.” 🥹
