Gregg Popovich shares his final message and it has nothing to do with wins and losses.
"The wins and losses are all crap. The highs and lows are all crap. It's illusory. It doesn't really exist."
"What exists is seeing these guys and their kids. Those relationships with your assistant coaches - everybody else you're with - your colleagues, your friends."
"'Cause that's what you take with you as you move along."
The best leaders and coaches invest in people.
"All those wins or losses - they fade away. They fade away."
"But those relationships stick with you forever. And that's where the self-esteem and the self-satisfaction comes."
A must-listen message for all coaches, players, parents, and teach out there.
Great leadership isn't one style. It's knowing your people well enough to give them what they need. Invest in the relationships.
Care about people, hold them to their potential, and lead in your style.

It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.
Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world.
And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.
The White House was built to serve the American people.
Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.
The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.
They did not fight a revolution for this.
For those who don’t know what a Knicks title means to New York: it’s a reward for generations of belief. This city gets knocked down and gets back up every day and the Knicks mirrored that journey. This is for every fan, every New Yorker, and every dreamer who kept showing up. Faith. Perseverance. Resilience. Thank you, @nyknicks
BREAKING: This Is One Of The Most Disturbing Details To Emerge From The Epstein Investigation.
After Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 child sex conviction, you might expect the pipeline of introductions to stop.
According to CNN, it continued.
The network reviewed records showing model scouts and agents allegedly sending Epstein photos of young women, discussing meetings, and helping facilitate introductions years after his conviction.
Then came the message that chills the blood.
A scout sends a photo.
Epstein replies:
"Too old."
This suggests the issue wasn't just Epstein.
It was the network of people who continued opening doors for him after everyone already knew what he had done.
“My confidence comes from my work ethic…every time I have the ball I’m just thinking of me alone in the gym”

Everything Trump touches turns to shit: Because conman Trump awarded a $14.2 million taxpayer-funded no bid contract to an incompetent friend to makeover the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the water is now a putrid smelly swamp of stinking algae.
This UFC spectacle at the White House, dripping with corporate sponsors and pay-to-play billions is crass corruption. While families struggle to afford groceries, rent, and healthcare, we’re watching Trump play Gatsby on the People’s lawn.
This grift must end. We deserve better.
