I visited @Hoophall, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, on 2/1/2020, not long before they closed for renovations and only a month or so prior to COVID lockdown. There also was a fan memorial area at the front desk for Kobe Bryant.

Research shows that if coaches are overly critical and have a "negative appraisal" post-game, testosterone levels will drop and it will negatively impacts the next game performance.

Tonight's surprise star performance at the @SouthBayLakers game was from Joirdan Nicholas, with 19 points (including a couple wild dunks!) and 11 rebounds. So happy to see him shine on the court today!

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

On the @SouthBayLakers, many of us have become accustomed to @BronnyJamesJr's ever-improving performances on the court. Tonight he's averaging over 1 pt/min with over 35 min played.
It's only those who don't follow his actual playing time who tend to be critical.

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

Future @ArizonaMBB star Bryce James is at the @SouthBayLakers game as well, to watch older brother @BronnyJamesJr

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

Injured @PelicansNBA player @treymurphy is in the house tonight at the @SouthBayLakers game! Wish he weren't sidelined.

@RGVVipers Your trainer Jimmy Vidas is a class act!
The friend I brought to the @SouthBayLakers fell and hurt herself before the game. In addition to the on-site EMTs who tended to her, Jimmy came up to see if he could assist.

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

Before tonight, the @SouthBayLakers largest win margin was 25 points five weeks ago in Salt Lake City. Tonight, they were ahead by 29 at one point vs @MotorCityCruise, with a final score win of 121-103.

@dekker It's the *people* who are in a bad way!

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

At @SouthBayLakers open practice today, I got to meet & speak w @BronnyJamesJr. We all know of his privilege. But he's also a sweet young man aware of the pressure that his name & career choice provide, & is navigating that as best he can. And his game has improved in South Bay!

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

Welcome to the @SouthBayLakers, Stanley Johnson!

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

So happy to see @iam_AlexFudge on the floor tonight for the @SouthBayLakers after a long time out for injury!

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

@terance_mann I noticed reduced time for you with the @LAClippers this season over last, and even fewer min per game thus far this season.
So I hope you get the opportunity to demonstrate all your value and versatility with your new team!
I'll be following & rooting for you with @ATLHawks.

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

The @SouthBayLakers, after losing a heartbreaker in OT last night (after leading by 20 at one point), are ignominiously going down to defeat tonight vs the @okcblue. They're down by 39 with 5:21 remaining.

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

@MotorCityCruise Any fans in the Los Angeles area? Come cheer for your team on Monday, March 10 vs the @SouthBayLakers! You'll be helping to raise money for Children's Hospital L.A. with each ticket purchase. Go to https://t.co/KfmJImTJSg for info and tickets.

Bronny James has had a solid night tonight,with 23 points in 28 min. @SouthBayLakers are currently leading @ripcityremix with under 6 min left in the game.

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

Bronny is playing tonight without Dad's presence & its hoopla. I can't guarantee that Bronny will be playing on Mon. 3/10, but you can get tickets to see the @SouthBayLakers on that date at a special price while also supporting @ChildrensLA Hospital!

After being waived last week by the big team, @quincyolivari is burning up the floor tonight with the @SouthBayLakers !

[Hoop Dames (Ronel Kelmen) @HoopDames]

While the @Lakers were losing on TV in the background, I was at a reception before the @SouthBayLakers game which featured the Lakers' 2020 NBA Championship trophy. South Bay has a chance to win vs @blue_coats with 3 min to go.
