    Jack Ferguson was one of the best people I’ve ever met. His attitude, love for life, and energy were contagious and made everyone around him a better person. I was incredibly fortunate to spend 2 years in the same gym with him, and I’m better off because of it. RIP Jack.

    Biggest live period takeaway: ankle socks are making a serious comeback.

    “He was a gifted writer and gifted teacher. Our young men were fortunate to have been in Doc’s classes.” Grateful for the love we have received after my dad’s passing. Hearing from his former students and athletes shows the impact that he made on people and the world.

    In 5th grade, we had an end of year party where everyone could bring one CD. I brought the Live 03 soundtrack. Nobody wanted to play it. Shoutout to my classmates for their lack of taste.
    NBA Live 2003 went certified platinum. The GOAT video game soundtrack. 🎮

    Unfortunately, these never helped me dunk. I did touch the backboard a couple times in layup lines though. That was pretty sick.
    You weren’t trying to be a baller if these don’t bring you back to your childhood

    Nobody impacts my life more negatively than the high school refs who call non-existent fouls on the big kids I’m recruiting.

    I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in January 2019, so this is a special cause to me. @AthletesvCrohns is an incredible foundation doing amazing things. Fortunate to have this opportunity to work with them and raise some money for a great cause.
    Join us this Wednesday, 11/20 as we host Manchester University. We are working with @AthletesvCrohns to support their foundation with a unique raffle that features Hawks-Pistons tickets, a signed Larry Nance, Jr. Jersey, a TV, and more! We are looking forward to see everyone!
    All proceeds will be donated to Athletes Vs. Crohn’s and Colitis, an organization founded by Atlanta Hawks forward Larry Nance, Jr. The organization’s mission is: “To raise awareness of Crohn’s and colitis in the adolescent population and help inspire them to realize their athletic potential despite being diagnosed with a chronic illness.

    Started snowing during my run today, and all I could think about was a playoff loss in men’s league last month. I ran faster. Will to win has never been greater. #toughness

    Kids in HS & AAU games often take shots that they have never practiced. If you don't work on it, don't shoot it...it's not going to go in!
