Same vibes. Been kinda laughing at the “Chet vs Wemby” narrative media clearly pushing for engagement…was at a sports bar watching and it’s totally working. People were talking about. Insane comparison
“Wemby played 48 minutes, had 41 points, 24 rebounds and 3 blocks, changed 20 other shots and made a must-make 30 footer from the Curry spot, and by the end of the game the OKC fans looked like they’d just been strip-searched — anyway he’s our player of the game.”
Brad Stevens shares his non-negotiables for life.
"I wanna enjoy who I'm working with. I wanna enjoy where I'm working. I wanna have a goal, but I also wanna enjoy the journey of getting to that goal."
"For me, it starts with being a great teammate. That is something I look for in people. Those relationships are probably the most important thing."
It starts with the people and the character of those people.
Then he explained what it means to show up every day:
"You put your signature on your work every day. You give it everything you have."
"You do it for the good of the whole. You do it to get better at your own job. You do it to improve the whole and see where the chips may fall."
It means giving your best effort and bringing a mindset of excellence to yourself and your team.
"I've been lucky enough to be on really good teams. Teams that have had chances to play for things that are really, really special."
Then he shared what stays with you:
"Very rarely when you look back on those teams - whether at Butler or here - do you think about the individual games or even the moments of the games."
"You think about the people and the individual times with the people."
"That's the special part about being a part of a sports team. That's why you walk through the building every day."
The relationships always stay.
Stevens' wisdom is simple: it comes down to character.
• Be a great teammate.
• Strive for excellence.
• Enjoy the people and the process.
Character isn't what you say - it's what you do consistently.

@bballbreakdown@KiddsTheseDays 😂 Nick would be that guy saying “alright everyone, just confirming we’re playing high school rules, ok?” While everyone is like what the f is with this guy
@buccocapital That, and that most people don’t manage money in a spreadsheet-rational way. So solving the day to day issue of housing with an asset someday worth some cash works better than investing theoretical savings on property taxes into ETFs, et al.
@AndrewDBailey Yeah, the timebound remote replay would be the biggest thing. The absolute worst thing that happens in games is when everyone is standing around waiting for a call. I’d accept lower call accuracy in exchange for better game flow.
