Russell Westbrook getting Michael B Jordan to narrate his retirement video is such a flex. Also a flex: being a first-ballot Hall of Famer who did it 100% his way, for 18(!) years. Russ's approach didn't sit well with everyone - but it was always genuine. After all, Why Not?
No Campbell and No Mercer was certainly a choice.
Campbell went 41-17 overall and 26-4 in CAA play. The Camels won 13 straight road games and 7 of their last 10 overall.
Campbell had wins over Cal Poly, ECU, Coastal, Troy, NC State.
Middle America families stuck in the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time that is travel baseball.
Baseball needs Legion Ball played at high school fields in t-shirts and gray pants more than ever right now.
Shoutout to all the dads/moms that rebound for their kids
Was in the gym yesterday and saw a dad rebounding for his son - not “teaching” him, not criticizing him, not yelling at him - just letting him shoot around & be creative in the gym.
NEED more of that!
Much congrats to a gritty UConn team that wouldn’t give up. For all those people out there trying to criticize Jon Scheyer, he is one helluva coach and one of the class acts in our game. He played the toughest schedule and ended as the #1 overall seed. Championships will be in his future. UConn players and coaches, you have my utmost respect🫡
He broke his foot three weeks ago and everyone thought he was done for the year.
He anchored Duke’s comeback in the Sweet 16 tonight.
Caleb Foster is a Duke legend. Unforgettable performance
Man, I just want Pau to go on a podcast and FLAME all these former Kobe teammates.
He’s one of the main guys who can call them all out. Pau was considered a “soft Euro” when he played for the Grizzlies, and everyone said he wasn’t a winner. He came to the Lakers and they went to the Finals his first year. He got bullied by KG and Perkins in the ’08 Finals. The “soft” narrative continued.
That summer, Kobe pushed Pau like he’d never been pushed before: early-morning training, late-night weight-room sessions, endless film sessions. Kobe verbally abused him daily in practice, calling him weak. How did Pau respond? He toughened up and stepped up. One of the greatest Laker playoff runs in ’09, then in ’10. He faced the Celtics again and not only held his own- he was DOMINANT.
Kob was training DAWGS. Some stepped up and became champions. Others, 15 years later, went on a podcast and complained about Kobe’s leadership style✌️
This was Miami coach, Jai Lucas, the first week he got The Miami job
Less than a year later, he has The Hurricanes HOOPING in the NCAA Tournament
Truly one of the best young coaches in the nation

Tennessee State HC Nolan Smith on the pursuit of wanting to get back to March Madness
“I’m excited to see how we get another group that’s just like these guys. This is where my staff and I want to be. These guys set the bar really high. Like Coach K told me, go get some players. At the end of the day the players make the coach.”
a lot of younger kids watch Jay Will doing college basketball analyst work now and they have no idea he’s arguably the best PG to ever play college basketball
Just go back and watch Jay Williams tape when he was at Duke! 🪣🧊🔥
