Steve Nash's father, John Nash, on his son winning the 2005 NBA MVP award after starting out with humble expectations:
"When Steve first got drafted in the NBA, I thought: 'Well, this is great — hopefully he can have a nice career as a backup point guard.' But Steve said to me: 'No, Dad, I'm going to be a starter in this league.' And I thought: 'Well, okay, what do I know about these things?'"

When work is your identity, success goes to your head, and failure goes to your heart.

Its really wrong that D1 schools would steal away Juco kids on LOI’s in Aug!! Doing that on move in day takes it to another level!! ZERO RESPECT

I'm not backing down from this one.
You can support people's rights AND believe biological men shouldn't compete in women's sports. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
My issue isn't hate. It's protecting women, protecting girls, and asking why a WNBA coach chose to inject herself into a controversy that could hurt the very league she's supposed to represent.
Common sense still matters. That's where I stand.
My full remarks are on YouTube.

I’ve said it 1000 times and I’ll say it again….
If the “JUCO” recruiting you is “independent” and doesn’t have its OWN actual campus, they’re essentially a scam and robbing you.

Everyone loves the 2026 NBA Draft class.
But very few people want to give American grassroots basketball credit for developing it.
After spending the last decade scouting on both sides of the Atlantic, here's why I believe the criticism of AAU and grassroots basketball has gone too far.

Reminder that the high level overseas guys like Ray McCallum are ridiculous and most likely way better than the average player that thinks he is going to the NBA

J Will has arrived at the stadium 90 minutes ahead of his daughter’s big elimination game against UCLA.
He paid for parking ($40) with a $100 and asked the attendant how long she’d been out in the 98 degree heat.
She said 5 hours now. He said keep the change.

Matthew McConaughey straight up defended ego on Theo Von's podcast and honestly kinda blew my mind.
He said ego gets trashed too much. There's the toxic "look at me" version, sure. But the real one? That inner "I" where you know you're prepared, capable, and willing to go for it. The confidence that comes from judging yourself harder than anyone else. Without that, you got no real identity or direction.
This hit me. I spent years thinking killing the ego was the move. Now I'm rethinking it. That healthy drive feels necessary.
We've gone from arrogant show-offs to everyone acting fake-humble. A balanced ego might be what actually keeps you grounded and moving forward.
Do you see ego as mostly toxic, or can the healthy version actually push you to be better?

Simple:
5 in 5
Clock starts at 19 or when you enroll at an NCAA institution whichever is first. Not when you graduate HS. Don’t punish accelerated kids that graduate early.
If you’re in a documentable curriculum where you don’t graduate HS until you’re 20 (like Netherlands), then you can submit for review.
Military exemptions still apply.
No regular redshirts.
Yes keep medical redshirts. Let’s not have keeps trying to play on partially torn whatevers and making bad health decisions since they can’t get a redshirt.
If you played in the NBA or G League, you’re done. G league is specifically associated with the NBA.
If you entered the NBA draft and were drafted and an NBA team owned your rights before sending you overseas, you’re done.
If you played in Europe, I don’t care for who or for how much as long as you fit in the clock window. We’re just hypocrites if we say a college player can make 500k but an Italian player can’t. They don’t have HS or college basketball in Europe. Pro is their only route to keep playing. Quit treating it any different.
Working for Mike did wonders for me and he still continues to guide me and love me like I’m one of his own. He is the people’s champ. Love ya Mike!
In 2024, I joined the @Tyler_MBB team, led by Legendary Coach Mike Marquis, who fostered an elite basketball environment and family unity. I'm grateful for his mentorship, along with Coach @MitchMarquis1, and look forward to applying the valuable lessons I learned at @UTRGVmbb.
