This is awesome. Most coaches don't need more intentionality for Challenging their athletes. But they do with Support. Easy, low-hanging fruit that takes under 2 minutes. Good job @CoachBenW
Our love line is how we start everyday. Helps us to start on a positive note no matter what’s going on with our team or each player individually. Some guys don’t hear that they’re loved at home. Some guys might be going through something where they need it. We don’t know. Just

There are so many underskilled 6’7-6’9 guys today caught in the middle. Not as skilled as the guards on their own team but think they’re too skilled to have a high motor and be productive inside. Instead of being involved in more action as a screener, they’d rather stand in

Durant was eligible for a max extension of $120M, but understood when he chose the Rockets as a trade destination that he'd be sacrificing money – in this case around $30M less – so that the sides can partner for the long term and give the franchise team-building flexibility.

Kevin Durant is THE BEST individual offensive player to ever play but you can tell that what he loves most is to sacrifice whatever it takes to be A PART of a WINNING team. Thanks for giving all of us a clip for our preseason culture meetings @KDTrey5 🫡💎

We are so incredibly grateful to DP alum Denzel Aberdeen for his donation to the program! Thank you @DenzelAberdeen for pouring into our next wave of guys. You have always led by example, never change. Our players look up to you and all of the champions before them. Thank you.
NEW: Kentucky guard Denzel Aberdeen recently donated "thousands of dollars" to his alma mater, Dr. Phillips High School, in a fundraiser for the boys basketball program. "It was an incredible gesture by him." READ (+): https://t.co/ztjEZFfVTL

Great defensive breakdowns on his page. Appreciate you @Mike_Jagacki!
Rotate-and-recover steals are about faking discipline. Show early help → the offense makes its read → then you spring back into the passing lane. Key detail: if you’re late, you only take away one option. If you’re early, you erase the read and sit on the next one. Full

Free agent C/F Precious Achiuwa has agreed to a one-year deal with the Miami Heat, sources tell ESPN. A reunion for the Heat's No. 20 pick in the 2020 NBA draft after productive stints in New York and Toronto.
