The @KentuckyMBB has many 5 star Diaper Dandies but I said it once & will say it again REED SHEPPARD will be a major Wildcat STAR - early vs @KUHoops he has already been efficient . Hit 2 big 3’s - passes well & defends .
Hear me out: what if Reed Sheppard is just Kentucky's best player, straight up.
Great shooter, unbelievable hands on defense. Phenomenal basketball IQ. Love watching this dude.
John Calipari was asked about Reed Sheppard today.
"He’s been really good," Cal said with a smirk.
"He’s one of those guys that don’t have that expectation stuff, where I have to live up to this or that. They are just playing… he makes everybody better... He doesn’t have any ego about it."
Captains don’t just lead when they walk out for the coin toss on Friday nights…
They lead in the hallways, the classroom, the weight room, on the practice field, throughout their community, & most importantly, in LIFE!
The best player on a team isn’t always the player who scores the most. Sometimes it’s the player who has a high IQ or a diverse/versatile skill set or a player who is unselfish & coachable or who knows their role inside & out. Basing “good” only on points scored is a big mistake!
#1 problem with youth sports is parents contaminating team culture… Kids often times want to be good teammates but hear parents speak about kids on their team a certain way and kids repeat it and the bonds are broken.
PSA: You always know when parents are speaking through kids

The average person makes 35,000 choices a day.
Most of them seem small and unimportant, but every choice matters.
How you treat people, what you eat, what time you wake up, the way you talk, the way you walk; all of it matters.
You are a product of your choices. Choose wisely.
A culture of greatness doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when a leader expects greatness and each person in the organization builds it, lives it, values it, reinforces it and fights for it.
