Steve Kerr says Roger Federer taught his Warriors team the secret to sustained success wasn’t outworking everyone, it was building a life around your craft you never want to escape from
“I’ll tell you a great story about Roger Federer. We were playing in China with the Warriors in 2017. Roger was in Shanghai for the Masters tournament, so we invited him to come speak to the team.”
“Draymond Green asked him, ‘How do you sustain success? How have you managed to win majors 20 years after you first won one?’ Everyone was expecting him to say, ‘I work harder than everybody,’ the will, all the clichés.”
“Roger Federer says, ‘I get up every morning and I make breakfast for my kids. Then I take them to school and drop them off. Then I go practice tennis for about two hours, and I’ve figured out a really good routine where I don’t destroy my body, but I can get all the work in I need.”
“‘Then I go have lunch with my wife. In the evening, we cook dinner together. The kids are all home from school. We ask them about school. There’s so much joy in the house. We put them to bed, and then I put my head on the pillow and go, “Man, that was just a great day.” And I’ve been doing that for 20 years.’”
“And it was like, yes. That’s it. That’s the formula. That’s what leads to sustained success. He loves tennis. He loves his family. He loves life. It’s not outworking everybody and banging your head against the wall, ‘I’m going to be better than everybody.’ It’s allowing your natural talent to shine through with a work ethic, with a great family life, with perspective, with peace, with mindfulness.”
“It’s perspective. It’s joy. It’s passion. It’s mindfulness. It’s an awareness that we are truly lucky. To get the most out of ourselves, it’s our daily rituals and experiences and love and joy.”

Drake is 6-0 with 4 D2 transfers as the focal point of their team. This isn’t as much of an outlier as you think!
It’s a FACT! Good D2 is better than low D1.

We saw a 19 Year old Kobe drop 36 on Michael Jordan's head in 1997.
Then a 23 year old Kobe drop 55 on Michael Jordan mostly off Jumpshots.
Prime Kobe > Prime Jordan just based on the fact that Kobe had all of MJ's moves + more skills on top of it.
Enjoy this 16 minutes of Isolation 1v1 plays.
Kobe is the king of 1v1
no contest

Let’s put this in perspective. The starting back court for Fairleigh Dickinson played four years at a D2 and and now playing on the biggest stage holding their own. Much respect!! 🤝 #MarchMadness@TweetsbyCoachP
Sharon falls to Nashoba 65-59. Eagles were led by Matt Baur with 13pts. Dante James with 14pts and Nate Katznelson with 14pts. Tremendously proud of how far this group has come and for how they have turned around this program #eaglepride
The running game gave him 34 yards on 17 carries.
The top 3 WRs were out with injury.
He was on one leg.
He threw for 326, 2 touchdowns, a 105 ratings… and ran for the game winning first down.
He’s Patrick effing Mahomes and we’ve never seen anyone like him.
