Villanova Basketball.

[New York Basketball @NBA_NewYork]

"We picked up the ashes & kept going"

When Josh Hart was in high school

The family house burned down

Thankfully no one got hurt

But they lost their dog

And most belongings

No family in the area

And no insurance

Mom a waitress

Dad a cook

Three kids

Two bedrooms

They started over.

Josh got a scholarship

To a private school in DC

1 hour & 2 buses away

He was late too often

And got mostly D's

Got kicked out

But then

Something happened

Other families in the school

Rallied around Josh & his family

They launched a Facebook page

They called it"Let Josh Stay"

Spammed the headmaster

Demanding Josh

Get 2nd chance

He got one.

To make it easier

Josh spent some nights

At the house of a teammate

His name was Matthew Hillman

Yes Roommates Show Matt

Soon Matt & his family

Became part of Josh's

Josh did better

Played better

Villanova next

And a title.

Fast forward to today

Josh on the Knicks plane

Flying out to the NBA Finals

And Matthew's mom Pamela

Reposts video of Draft Night

The night that he knew

His mom would be OK

His dad would be OK.

Josh's dad Moses has said

"He learned how to play hard

Before he knew he was good

Playing hard's the only thing he knows."

The heart of Hart has always stood out

"He had it from Day One"

Said Josh's 8U coach

That's 8 years old.

Coaches saw it

Teammates

Families

In a school

He just got to

They noticed too

They rallied around him

Got him a 2nd chance

He kept going

He's here now

The Spurs are going to the next NBA dynasty for the next half a decade, not the thunder.

Wildcat moment: Kyle Lowry with Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart & Mikal Bridges post series

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

Collin Gillespie talks about learning from Jalen Brunson’s ridiculous work ethic

“We would have a 3 hour practice and then 30 minutes later, he would he heading back to the gym - I remember wondering how he wasn’t dead tired”

[jeff @DedicationHoops]

[SportShorts @den_shorts]

Does anybody realize Collin Gillespie is shooting 41.3% from 3 on 7.3 attempts per game?!?
