This man is a draft savant. Nailed Raynaud and Coward most recently and countless others over the years. Called Acuff a while ago. Needs to be in a front office or something.

@AJ_Dybantsa shouts out Kevin Durant, Jamal Crawford, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Paolo Banchero for their guidance throughout his basketball journey 👏
Paolo Banchero is launching a new Jordan Heir 2 PE inspired by his grandmother Sheila’s one-of-a-kind style on May 1st.
Extended answer from Paolo on his beloved grandma and his annual themed Jordan sneaker tribute:
“This is the ‘Oh Sheila’ and a shout to my grandma, my mom’s mom, and her fashion sense. I feel like I get a lot of it from her. My parents never really dressed super loud or fancy. But my grandma? Man! That’s why the shoe is so loud. You have leopard print, pink, purple, red, and green — cause that’s what her closet looked like.
She had a walk-in closet in her house. I used to go over and spend the night almost every weekend growing up. She had a nice walk-in closet with a jacuzzi. She was killing it! [laughs] I didn’t have that at home, so I’d always be wowed and check out her closet.
I’d see all these leopard prints, zebra, red leather, and all these crazy clothes. I remember being so enamored by it as a kid. To this day, she wears crazy colors. Whenever my grandma sees me wear an outfit that’s a little louder, she’s always so proud and will say, ‘You look sharp! You look good!’”

Joe Mazzulla on dealing with praise:
“Praise is just as dangerous as criticism. You
just have to remind yourself that neither one lasts too long. And, really, at the end of the day, they're going to forget about you eventually. This is all just a short-term thing that’s going to last a few years, and then 10-15, years from now, nobody is going to talk about you. So it really doesn’t matter.”
At the plant and all the employees are gone. Doing the books for a few family LLC's, sipping on some High West, and watching my boys got to ABSOLUTE WORK! Great Birthday week.
