Fox has to run the ball out and get fouled…

Among a few other mistakes 😂

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

Agreed, the Knicks and Thunder need to be boxing out and meeting those guys at the 3-point line.

Trying to box out while waiting for them under the basket is a bad idea.

[𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙔𝙊𝙁𝙁 𝘾𝙄𝙏𝙔 @Playoffcity]

I’m starting to think that this is coached.. it happens too often.

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

Since the NBA season is winding down and basketball is coming to an end…

Why doesn’t ESPN or somebody replay all of MJ’s games starting with the earliest one we have of him

Play one every other night until the season starts up again - let’s check the tape for real

This is no different for hoops. No matter what your role is, be great, it will change the trajectory of your career!

[Kevin Dahlstrom @Camp4]

🚀 The only career advice you need:

The actor Glen Powell auditioned to play Rooster in Top Gun: Maverick.

When the role was given to Miles Teller, Powell was devastated. He was offered a smaller role, but declined.

Tom Cruise summoned Powell to his house and asked him:

“What kind of career do you want?”

Powell responded:

“I want to be like you—an iconic movie star. You always choose great roles.”

Cruise shook his head.

“You’re wrong. I choose great movies, then I make the role great.”

Powell got the message. He accepted the role of Hangman—and nailed it.

Now Powell says:

“It changed the trajectory of my career.”

When young people ask me for career advice, I tell them something similar:

🚀 Attach yourself to a rocketship.

Join companies that are growing quickly. Work with people who are going places. Be part of something great.

Play your role—no matter how minor—exceptionally well.

The rest will take care of itself.

P.S. I don't write engagement bait, so I need your help to spread the word. If you enjoyed this post, would you like, comment, and repost?

The hero we needed

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Victor Wembanyama’s agent says he refuses to do endorsement deals with soda companies

"They all want him, but Victor will never sell soda. Because he doesn’t want to kill the kids."

No rhythm, late gather, different ball path, needs work to say the least but it’s probably more amazing she’s in the WNBA and no one has helped her

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

Went to go watch the Finals with the fam at local restaurant just to find out @DIRECTV doesn’t show the game

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

Doesn’t box out then waits for the hit and falls to the ground

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

No wondering John Stockton had 15k assists buddy is standing there throwing it where ever he pleases.

It looks like on-ball pressure defense didn’t even exist

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

The point was to get your shot off, not draw foul.

Maybe they should change the rule to a side out of bounds on a “drawn foul” (including in the bonus) so there’s no more free throws.

[NBA Memes @NBAMemes]

Pump fakes used to be used for space creation man.
This Kobe vs SGA comp perfectly sums it up!

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

I’ll never forget yelling “make him shoot,” as he was already killing us, just for him to hit the jumper too 😂

[••€ΘΔCH ΙΞΥΙΞ•• @issac1823]

Surreal being at Pro Day yesterday. What a journey. Literally shedded a tear man. Anyway this is the beginning of 24 straight 3pt makes for ⁦@BraydenBurries⁩ yesterday. Best guard in the draft imo but they’ll say I’m biased of course lol.

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

NGL these off- ball flop charges are starting to be a little much…beginning to understand the OKC hate

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

Hard to believe a player is the MVP while getting benched during crunch time for defense

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

Does anybody else watch these PreDraft Shooting videos and think that it’s a bunch of jogging around shooting slow jumpers?

[Noah Weber @noahweber00]

Arkansas’ Billy Richmond III just shot 17/25 on the 3-point star drill.

He’s now tied for sixth so far for the NBA Combine. The leader, Kingston Flemings, shot 19/25.

This comes after he tied Darius Acuff Jr. for first in the 3/4 court sprint at 3.06 seconds and finished first in the pro lane drill at 10.23 seconds (0.23 seconds faster than second place).

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

He should have a chance with that frame & pace of play at the PG spot

[Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress]

Illinois' Keaton Wagler measured 6'5 barefoot and 188 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'6.25 wingspan and 8'4 standing reach.

First measurements we've seen for Wagler. Good size for a PG, but is functionally a little smaller given the wingspan, frame, and reach.

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

It’s why kids “burnout” - the game is about everything except the actual game these days

There’s not an area / space where kids just show up and love the game / play for fun - it’s all a means to an end

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

My take: today’s athletes are constantly preached to about how basketball is more than a game, that it’s about enjoying it, the relationships, the experiences, the lessons learned along the way and on…

But the only thing anybody actually cares about is winning

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

Room temperature take: today’s young athlete plays so many games that they rarely care much about losing anymore.

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

I think Nash hit the rim once

[Ballislife.com @Ballislife]

#24 ranked 10th grader Tai Bell, son of former NBA pro Raja Bell was in the lab with 2x NBA MVP Steve Nash. 🔥

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

Never thought I’d be posting this but Bronny needs to play over LaRavia

Not that it fixes the insane amount of unforced bad plays (horrible turnovers, bad fouls) but it feels like it could be closer

[Marcus Graham @MarcusGGraham]

Might be the best “No-Dip” shot ever

[Josh Reynolds @JoshReynolds24]

Not even exaggerating in the slightest when I say that this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen…

A no-dip, mid-air 3 ball? Are you kidding me?

I’ve watching this 100x & I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. This is amazing.
