Today I’m also committing $5 million to help 77 young athletes around the world chase their dreams, just like I did. Basketball gave me everything, and I’m lucky to be able to give back and help the next generation.

Appreciate you big bro
Speak that truth @RealJayWilliams. Keep speaking. We’re listening. And for those who aren’t, we damn sure need to. Proud of you bro. Keep educating!

Everyone’s focused on Mike Brown. I’m watching his staff. In today’s NBA, your assistants don’t support you—they expose you. The right staff hides your flaws. The wrong one magnifies them. This hire won’t be about Mike. It’ll be about who’s behind him.

@RealJayWilliams, I just wanted to say thanks for your breakdown of the Oklahoma City Thunder on First Take this morning. Your analysis of the team chemistry, lineup over the last three years, and defense of its role in their becoming a championship team was good and compelling.

8 torn Achilles this season. Tyrese Haliburton is the latest. The NBA is playing at its fastest pace since the early ‘70s — 108.9 possessions per game. We’re chasing tempo, highlights, and algorithms… but at what cost? The product is faster. But the bodies are breaking — and

Happy Father’s Day to the men who show up. Not with flowers. Not with fanfare. But with presence, patience, and pressure on their shoulders that no one sees. In America, we celebrate dads with discounts on power tools and punchlines about being absent. But what about the ones

I’m loving @GetUpESPN this morning with the Morris Twins and @Espngreeny doing their thing. But what I live for— in an ultimate sign of respect — is my man Jay Williams biting off my outfit from Game 1 of the NBA Finals. It’s so special when you see your students learning.😀

The @Pacers continue to break basketball logic… This is now 4 playoff wins with less than a 2.1% win probability. That's not just improbable, it's statistically irrational.
