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.
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
🚀 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?
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 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
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.
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.
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).
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.
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
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

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
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.
