Sometimes all it takes is an opportunity. Lakers never gave him a true one. Glad the Knicks did.
Time for my annual basketball soapbox tweet: Stop worrying about how “athletic” players are and start focusing on how good they are as basketball players. Too many “athletes” and not enough skilled players gets you beat…and loses jobs. Seen it happen time & time again.
Everyday I’m amazed at some of the discussions on this app about certain analytical practices that discourage people to just be a basketball player, make the right play and use some common sense.

Mental skills training is too often treated as a solution to poor performance rather than a contributor to great performance.
Sometimes, they’ll tell you what they think of you. Other times they’ll show you. Either way, the truth is right in front of you. #BecauseItsPersonal #KickRocks
Sometimes as a coach you have to make sure you don’t stifle your players’ creativity and instincts. Some kids just have a certain knack for the game. Don’t handcuff them from making natural plays. This is why I’ve gone away from sets & let them have the freedom to play.

I miss when the gym was your resume. 🏀
College coaches came to regular-season HS games and watched EVERYTHING. No edited clips. No hiding bad possessions. You had to hoop.
Social media changed recruiting for the better in some ways, but we lost something too.
Link in comments.

If someone has to earn their way back into your good graces every time they make a mistake, how freely do you think they’re going to play?
No one will believe in your kids more than you will. That’s the first step in getting them to believe in themselves.

Hey Coaches,
Someday, someone else will have your job.
They’ll sit in your office, wear your gear, and lead the program you once called yours.
That’s not meant to diminish the importance of your work. It’s simply a reminder that we’re all replaceable professionally.
But there are roles in your life that nobody else can fill.
Your children only have one you. Your spouse only has one you.
Don’t become so consumed with being excellent in a role that someone else can eventually fill that you neglect the roles that only you can fulfill.
I’m all for pursuing excellence in your profession.
But just make sure you're bringing that same commitment to the roles that only you can fulfill.

Recruiting Advice: as you navigate this last year of HS, seriously consider the school that has SHOWN you they want you the most. It may not fit or work, but find every reason to say no before you actually say no. Don’t worry about “level” or any of that. Sit down, and really look at what coaches have shown you are a PRIORITY to them and their program.
At some point @NBA2K gotta address the cheaters and zens. It’s not even fun anymore because these dudes out here with zens shooting heavy contest shots from half court and straight green. But by all means, keep trying to get us to spend $ for Goat builds.
