Evan

ex ball player. Coach of 2028 Topeka Stogies

[Kevin Durant @KDTrey5]

I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

Maybe I’m old school but coaches that give excuses and blame talent level, as to why you aren’t winning, set a bad double standard with their players

• Tells players you don’t think they are good enough
• Creates a culture of excuses

Slippery Slope

[Jason Kinander @WIBWJason]

Just over 3 years ago, Jerome Tang infamously told K-State fans and students to “expect to win.”

The Wildcats are 51-55 since.

They’ve spent tens of millions of dollars in the transfer portal the past few years. But money can’t buy their biggest need.

Accountability.

Cam Carr going from getting DNPs at Tennessee to becoming a potential All American and top 10 pick in the span of 12 months is so crazy 😂😂

‘26 Brody Cooper (Shawnee Heights)

The 6-3 215 righty didn’t have his best FB at 86, but mixed a swing and miss CH with less than 1000 spin and an overhand CB that he landed for strikes at the #CentralSSrG
