In the inaugural episode of ‘This Was SportsCenter’, Dan Patrick joined the show and told the story of the role he had in the origin of the “This Is SportsCenter” series of commercials… and reveals to us which of his MANY appearances in these commercials was his favorite:

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Dan Hurley shares a blunt reminder about what it takes to be great.

"If you can't sit through an hour and 15 minute video session...get out of this industry because this is only for the most competitive people."

The film room isn't glamorous. It's tedious, repetitive, and easy to zone out, but that's exactly why it separates.

The ones who consistently work even when it's boring are the same ones who execute when it matters.

Greatness isn't for the interested - it's for the ones who embrace the boredom of consistency.

[Kobe Bryant Stories & Motivation @kobehighlight]

Kobe really said “I want to feel the pain” before winning his 4th ring.

There’s levels to this 🐍

[Playteaux @Playteaux1]

Pete Maravich was that good…

[SLAM @SLAMonline]

You can't tell the story of the game without him. Happy 51st to one of the coldest to ever do it.

HEARTBREAKING: #NFL HCs and GMs LAUGHED AT Darren Sproles when he measured in at the combine and was only 5-foot-6 and weighed in at 170 pounds.

Sproles called his dad: “They laughed at me”

His Dad replied: “You know what to do”

Sproles became a legend.

[NBA History @NBAHistory]

"Still waiting for a smile out of you. You're up 2-0. What's the story? Are you not happy?"

KOBE: "What's there to be happy about?"

"You're up 2-0."

KOBE: "Job's not finished. Job finished? I don't think so."

This moment happened 17 years ago today!

[Kobe Bryant Stories & Motivation @kobehighlight]

22-year-old Kobe Bryant put on a shotmaking clinic in Game 3 of the 2001 NBA Finals.

No falling on every shot.

No flopping.

Just buckets. 🔥

[NBA @NBA]

KOBE. LEBRON. WEMBY.

Victor Wembanyama joins Kobe Bryant in 2001 and LeBron James in 2007 as the only players this century to lead their team in scoring entering the Finals at 22 or younger 🤯

[Expo Hoops @ExpoHoops]

Imagine having to guard Derrick Rose in HIGH SCHOOL 🤯

Straight nightmare matchup 😭

[Coach Ham @Walt_Hamilton]

That’s insane!!

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

Arguably my favourite stat ever

[Chris Steed @steeder10]

Alex Caruso, Cason Wallace, Jaylin Williams, Devin Vassel, Keldon Johnson, Luke Kornet, etc.

WCF is littered with examples of this 👇🏼

Basketball is played WITH the basketball 5% of the time.

One of my favorites quotes from Billy Donovan is:

‘The other 95% of the time most players spend trying to get the basketball’.

Players also can’t conceptualize the amount of time they have the ball in their hands in a game. They think it’s exponentially more than it actually is.

The ball is glorified, and rightfully so, but what are we doing with the other 95%?

Do be ELITE REQUIRES impacting the game without the basketball.

The video below is a MUST WATCH for all players and coaches 👇

Kobe Bryant 38 PTS, 10 REB, 4 AST, 1 STL, 2 BLK, 14-31 FG, 52% TS, 46 MIN, (11/27/2002)

Tracy McGrady 38 PTS, 6 REB, 9 AST, 2 STL, 1 BLK, 12-28 FG, 2-2 3PT, 54% TS, 42 MIN, (11/27/2002)

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Great for players to hear.

@dallasmavs coach Jared Dudley how to impact winning in a world that is obsessed with scoring:

🔒 Defend Multiple Positions
🛞 Drive and Kick Decision Making
🎯 What's Your One Outlier Trait?

Social media glorifies the 20+ point per game scorer. But most teams already have one, or two of those guys.

What they’re really searching for are the players who dominate in the margins: boxing out, sprinting back, diving on the floor, the second effort, the winning habit repeated over and over again.

Your value isn’t determined by how many minutes you get.

It’s determined by what you do with the minutes you've earned.

Because that impact creates trust. And that trust creates opportunity.

And the players who consistently help the team grow usually end up growing themselves.

[Ball Don't Stop @balldontstop]

Kobe Bryant in the 2009 NBA Finals is the peak of mastery in this sport. The best ever.
