The best coaches aren't controllers; they’re facilitators.
We give them the tools, but they have to build the house.
Empowered athletes become resilient leaders.
On this day 30 years ago, Tupac released ‘All Eyez On Me.’ This House of Blues show was one of the last times the world would see him perform this album live
They told him he was too small. They said he was a "backup at best."
In 2018, 32 teams passed on him. He fell to the 33rd pick.
In Dallas, he played his role perfectly. He asked for a 4-year, $55M extension. Twice.
The Dallas Mavericks said no. They wanted to "wait and see." They didn’t believe he was a star.
They let him walk for nothing.
When he signed with the New York Knicks, the critics laughed. They called it an "overpay." They called him a consolation prize.
And Jalen Brunson kept the receipts.
Since betting on himself:
📷 2x All-NBA Second Team
📷 Clutch Player of the Year
📷 NBA Cup Champion
📷 NBA Cup MVP
He saved the Knicks and resurrected the Mecca.
He took the "overpaid" narrative and turned it into the best contract in the league.
He looked the doubters dead in the eye and dropped most points in a single playoff game in Knicks history (47).
The Mavs fumbled a dynasty. The Knicks found a savior.
33rd Pick. MVP. Champion.
JALEN BRUNSON IS HIM 💯
