Aside from the fact he’s All-NBA.@Dame_Lillard is extremely accessible.Respectful of media. Dude asks you how YOUR family is doing. His current & former team mates have all been to his place for meals. He arranges team outings.He treats the 15th man like an AllStar. Leadership.

Coach Urban Meyer had 31 players arrested at Florida. About the same time .Coach Randy Shannon had only 1 player arrested at Miami. And had an “exemplary” graduation rate. Shannon got fired. Don’t tell me college football is about anything but winning at all cost$$$.

This is the moment Miami won💯. I’m told Butler looked at Celtics coach Joe Mazzula and said. “you thought this would work ? ”. And every time Butler hunted and scored on Grant Williams he said “this is what you wanted”. Butler went Federal on em💯.

This ain’t a thing bruh. I’ve broadcast games seeing Rajon Rondo call out EVERY opponent set. Literally every time down the floor. Even telling the guy he was guarding where he was supposed to be😂.
Jokic is a genius. He's absolutely exhausted, yet he still picks up on the fact that the sideline is signaling for a Pistol action (this variation is called "21 Keep"). He notifies his teammates, they are on top of it, and it leads to a back-breaking turnover for Miami.
