Kevin Durant's infamous "toe on the line" moment took place 5 years ago today 😞
KD in the Nets' Game 7 loss to the Bucks:
48 PTS | 9 REBS | 6 ASTS | 17-of-36 FG
Iman Shumpert LeBron James will throw a turnover ON PURPOSE to prove you were out of position
"Bron kind of holds you accountable like yeah, I'm going to throw a turnover if you're not in the spot I told you to be"
"I'mma throw a blind pass over my head, and if you not there, I'mma tell coach take you out"
"When we do film tomorrow, he going to get up and say, no, this what I was saying… and once you see the tape you be like, damn, you right. I always appreciated that"
"Melo not the type that's going to grab you after the game and sit you down. Melo kind of internalizes it. He like, I need to score another five points, I can't miss this shot. Lead-by-example guy"
I’ll let you kids in on a little secret when it comes to Div 1 football, especially during spring training. THAT’S THE HARDEST PART OF THE SEASON. Spring Ball is meant to weed out the mentally & physically soft. 5:30 am two hour workouts, followed by an entire day of class, tutors, and then practice at 3pm, followed by film sesh, study hall, and mandatory team dinner before you get home at 10 pm with the same homework and projects due as the frat boy who isn’t playing a sport. Also because you’re on athletic scholarship, some schools require a mandatory minimum GPA or you’re automatically cut from the team … And you’re expected to keep this schedule up 5-6 days a week for 3-4 months until summer & fall camp begins. If you’re mentally not committed you will not last 😂
