Just when I thought I couldn't love Kingston Flemings more, he writes a full memoir note "for NBA GMs".
Can't recall ever seeing this before, ESPECIALLY so well thought out & beautifully written. His drive & intelligence are 2nd to none.
Kid is going to be special⭐️
SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.
William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”
“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”
CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!
In elementary school they asked how much TV we watched
I had 4 hours per day
-1 hour SportsCenter in morning
-3 hour baseball game at night
They sent an email to my parents saying I had a problem
Today there isn’t a 3rd grader on earth under 4 hours screen time
