I'm glad I don't have to write an endorsement piece, because I really wouldn't know how to go about it. Ever since 2015, when Trump descended the escalator, I have had the same feeling, which I've never quite seen articulated, so I will briefly try:


What many hoopers don’t realize is that it’s not always about what you’re doing that separates, it’s with what level of intensity, focus, passion, and joy you are doing it. If you are locked in and intentional, you will get better. There’s a reason these dudes made Team USA

These type of defensive drills are good enough for the best players in the world playing on Team USA You will still have high school and middle school kids going through the motions like they are a waste of time



This is the best 3 minutes of television of all time

If you do any sort of youth hoops coaching, this thread is gold. Create an environment where players see you as an ally to help them figure out the challenges that get presented. Celebrate successes and support them through struggles. And find the joy in the process!

Coaching my daughter's 13U AAU team for 5 games over a weekend brought some thoughts.  Here's what stood out (besides the fun): A thread. 🧵

The NBA is the only basketball league in the world where the game is played like that. Everywhere else you have true big men, a balanced offensive attack, half court sets are an emphasis and you have to be able to do more than just P&R and iso as a team.

This is what a planet in trouble looks like. How many more 'historics'? How many more 'record heat waves' before we act of the climate crisis. No time to waste. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

Why sandwiches taste better when you cut them diagonally instead of horizontally. The following essay will…


Well it took all day, but I’ve finally gotten to the one thing I wanted to work on today, with just enough time to figure out another time to work on it.

Flexibility, depth, defense, optionality to add meaningfully to their core, playmaking, depth and defense. Onball creation is a diminishing returns skill, not an additive one, and they are paying 50m a year for a guy who is worse at it than the two dudes they already have.

What did they give up Seth. I’m not high on Beal talent or fit wise either but cmon



Me.

Less than before unless the NBA decides to let them play with more than one ball.

Bradley Beal has been a BUCKET 🔥 How many PPG will he average in Phoenix? 👀
