Great story from Mike Krzyzewski.
“Who do you talk to the most? Yourself, so when you talk to yourself, why not be yourself's best friend?”
Your inner voice drives everything.
Make it one that builds you.

The youngest player in NBA history with
more than 25 points, more than 10 rebounds, more than 5 assists and multiple made three-pointers in a playoff game is….
Lebron James at age 21
The oldest player in NBA history with

Lebron James at age 41
We never see anyone like LeBron ever again in our lifetimes
Appreciate greatness.
LeBron has now played 295 playoff games.
In terms of GameScore, his performance tonight ranks 192nd out of 295.
29-13-6 with an insanely clutch steal & 3 pointer is not even a top 190 playoff game for LeBron James.
Say what you want about The Masters...
But there is nowhere else on planet earth where you will see a photo of humans like this where not a single one of them is looking at a phone.
Truly one of the most beautiful things.
Michigan (2-15) and UConn (9-33) combined to shoot 11 for 48 (22.9%) from 3pt tonight. One of the worst National Championship offensive showings since the 2011 game.
Century trend continues!
Offensive Efficiency Wins Championships🏆
Let’s put it in perspective…
11 Champs have had BOTH a Top 15 Off + Def
10 Champs have had a Top 15 Offense only
0…yes, ZERO % of the time this century a Top 15 Defense has won a championship without also having a Top 15 Offense🤷🏼♂️
Find new mottos is what the trend is saying😉
26 champs in 2000’s
Top 15: O=21🏆 D=11🏆
Top 5: O=15🏆 D=2🏆
Top 2: O=7🏆 D=0🏆

On this date 11 years ago, Duke basketball freshman Grayson Allen erupted off the bench to help propel the Blue Devils to a 68-63 win over Wisconsin and the program's fifth national title.😈🏀🏆🎥⬇️
@rheidrick24 I was there. I spoke with Jim Calhoun the night before and said “Good Luck, Coach”. I believe I cursed us and I never said those words to an opposing coach again (300+ games)!
@Coach__Strick So, I want to tell you how this impacted my coaching. 1) Defend not to foul: Gap M2M & Syracuse Zone (I had length), 2) Play offense to get fouled (inside out - UNC Secondary Break among others), skill work to limit TO’s (passing, ball handling, shooting)
@Coach__Strick Wow! I am so glad you did this - I have to share it with the old basketball head that shared it with me. He stole it from an old baseball coach who had a “baseball formula”
