What type of teammates do you want to play with? Be that teammate yourself - John Calipari

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. -Colin Powell

You’re raising a child. Teach them respect, hard work, how to be a good person. Show them what character & work ethic are. Hold them accountable. Teach them that they won’t ever get what they don’t earn. Strong, well-rounded kids find success much easier.
~Jon Beck

@pjthereuss.bsky.social OMG Patrick…the Red Sox pitcher hit Kiersey’s bat and it landed over the fence. Could this be the turning point!!

“You have to be a legend in your own mind before you can be a legend in your own time.” ~Jack Nicklaus

"Pressure is a privilege. ... You're not gonna find greatness on a beach. You're gonna find it in the struggle." ~Monty Williams

“Some say you have to use your five best players, but I found out you win with the five that fit together best as a team.” - Red Auerbach

Opportunities are made, not given. Success comes to those who make it happen. They are proactive in seeking new opportunities. ~Allistar McCaw

Congrats John!!! Job well done!!

The game is often won in the hours no one sees, celebrates, or claps for ~Dr. Jim Afremow

Stopping OKC is one thing but giving them extra possessions by being careless with the ball and giving up offensive rebounds for 2nd chance points is a main culprit.

Trust is built one day, one interaction at a time, and yet it can be lost in a moment because of one poor decision. Make the right decision, be honest, and walk with integrity. Remember, the currency of leadership is trust. If people don’t trust you they won’t follow you.

Worst hand ever!!

Expect to Win Today. Champions expect success. Their positive beliefs often lead to positive actions and outcomes. They win in their mind first.~Jon Gordon

Awesome!!

Big play of the game was when Ant had the ball on a break with 2:45 to go & the Timberwolves down 9 and got picked by LeBron. LeBron scores at the other end…ball game!!

When your best player's working harder than everybody and holding everyone accountable, that's a winning culture. – Grant Hill

How’d that work out??

Just a thought…would Dallas take the Lynx first round pick this year & next year + Diamond Miller or Alissa Pili (or both?) for their #1 pick this year?
