I’m a SENIOR student-athlete who plays basketball at Columbia. If we have a season, I pledge to hold myself/team accountable to all covid safety protocols. I challenge athletes to share this message and a photo if you feel the same. #letusplay @NYGovCuomo @RobertZayasNY

Charles Barkley just said, “KD has gone from the splash brothers to the dribble brothers!” Chuck never disappoints! 😂

PLAYERS:
Basketball is NOT an equal opportunity sport. Better shooters will almost always get more shots. Better ball handlers will have the ball more often. Better decision makers will be in at the end of the game along with better FT shooters. If you want to be better, earn it.

College basketball is hard. It looks easy when you are a high school senior. Everyone is telling you how good you are and you are seduced by ratings which means nothing once you step on campus. My advice. Run your own race Be patient work hard and allow yourself to be coached

How many of today’s kids actually play pickup instead of just working with a trainer? By no means is this a knock on trainers, but playing against better competition actually helped get you better when I was coming up #justmyopinion

“My advice to Black girls everywhere: whenever you find yourself in a room where a lot of people don’t look like you — be it a classroom, or a boardroom, or a courtroom — remember that you have an entire community in that room with you, all of us cheering you on.” - Kamala Harris

Five years ago today, this awesome group of women took down the mighty Kansas Jayhawks. Thanks to @TJJacksonKC for the flashback! Prepare. Fight. Adjust. #WIN

I came as a shadow,
I stand now as a light;
The depth of my darkness
Transfigures your night.

If you are one of the fortunate few players at any level to be able to compete in practice or games right now, and you’re not playing as hard as you possibly can every second you are on the court, you either lack understanding or you lack gratitude. Neither are desirable.

RECRUITS: I know you are watching these games. But I wish you could watch practice! A lot of blood, sweat and tears being put into that final game result! So whatever you think you’re doing in HS ain’t enough! Keep reaching! It’s levels to this! College is no joke!

Two Coastal Carolina teammates made for the perfect combo Saturday night, joining other famous college football teammate matches.
