‼️ IF a coach says practice is at 12. That means it starts at 12!!! Not walk in at 12 in street clothes and waiting for you to get changed and mentally prepped. EARLY IS IN TIME. ON TIME IS LATE. LATE IS UNACCEPTABLE ‼️. Message to players nationwide 🇺🇸

Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker not on #NBA75 list? Manu is a 4x champion, all star & OLYMPIC gold medalist 🥇 against USA’s best ..AND he changed modern hoop with the Euro Step. Tony Parker 4x champ, 6x All Star, Finals MVP, 4x All NBA.. @spurs dynasty was the BIG THREE!! Smh 🤦

🚨 If a BIG MAN is open, GUARDS, pass the ball!!!… and do not tell me “coach, they’re not finishing my passes”…. DUDE, you aren’t hitting every shot kicked out to you either and you expect to get the ball when wide open for 3 right ?… MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY. Sincerely, Hoops IQ

I’m devastated for my city of New Orleans... @NFL you should be ashamed of yourselves. @Saints fans pour their heart and soul into this franchise and your league, and you end our dream with your agenda$ I’m Never apologizing. This is our way of life, more than a game!! ⚜️😡

No conference champion should EVER have to play a play in game. It’s disrespectful!! They earned their right in the field with the auto bid. I don’t want to hear about formulas that are subjective. Play in games should be reserved for the LAST 4 IN bubble teams @ESPNLunardi

When coaches give a player a ride (pickup or dropping off) and its MULTIPLE vehicles at the house when you arrive.........

NAIA is NOT the lowest level of basketball. Just a little education lesson to the UNIFORMED people calling head coaches with ‘non players’ talking bout “I got someone your level”. No you don’t 🏀
