AAU is often blamed for everything that’s wrong w/American youth (and even professional) basketball. But after reporting this story, it’s clear that it provides a much more positive space than we are often led to believe. My latest @andscape andscape.com/features/aau-ho…

A college coach noticed an NBA scout had left a sheet behind after practice. Curious, he picked it up. ↓

The Costs of Leadership: Kirby Smart 1. You will make hard decisions that negatively affect people. 2. You will be disliked despite your best attempts to do the best for the most. 3. You will be misunderstood & won't have the chance to defend yourself.

here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

Great for players to hear. @dallasmavs coach Jared Dudley how to impact winning in a world that is obsessed with scoring: 🔒 Defend Multiple Positions 🛞 Drive and Kick Decision Making 🎯 What's Your One Outlier Trait? Social media glorifies the 20+ point per game scorer. But most teams already have one, or two of those guys. What they’re really searching for are the players who dominate in the margins: boxing out, sprinting back, diving on the floor, the second effort, the winning habit repeated over and over again. Your value isn’t determined by how many minutes you get. It’s determined by what you do with the minutes you've earned. Because that impact creates trust. And that trust creates opportunity. And the players who consistently help the team grow usually end up growing themselves.

Most teams want the trophy. But what does the trophy cost? Brent Venables nailed it. 🔥 Respect the jersey. Respect the routine. Respect the process. Nobody wins alone.
