Last year:
Hardaway Jr. on passes from Jokic: 63 3P%
P.Watson on passes from Jokic: 60 3P%
This year:
Hardaway Jr. (MIA): Career worst 24 3P%
P.Watson (CLE): Career worst 17 3P%
For my money, this is what defines value when determining MVP. Who makes others around him better?

State volleyball, Class 2A final.
The day before Coach Todd Troutman begins a plan of action in his battle against lymphoma, his Beckman Blazers win a state title in five sets over No. 1 Hinton.

I can't think of anyone who has had more impact on public discourse about any issue in Iowa without holding some elected office.
Chris Jones' work for years (not only as a candidate this year) forced pols in both parties to acknowledge the water pollution problem.
Biggest disappointment of election: Chris Jones lost race for Iowa agriculture secretary. But…he put water quality and cancer top of mind in an important farm state. See this interview with Carey Gillam of The New Lede: thenewlede.substack.com/p/wa…

I’m in love with this sentence:
“One of the most underrated skills you can learn is the ability to ignore your mood and stick with the plan.”

Ty Jerome had to put ego aside before carving out regular NBA minutes.
“Most of my minutes were garbage time minutes. I used to hate it.”
"When I finally reframed my mindset, it's like, 'Why do I feel this way? Is it because I'm worried about what a fan thinks or how it looks?'"
“Once you can get over yourself and get over the ego, that translates to when you're playing your regular opportunities.”

Find someone who appreciates you as much as Hubie Brown appreciates the free throw ritual of Mark Price.

One of the cooler under the hood insights I’ve heard from a head coach at a postgame presser.
We talk about the data teams have access to that we don’t. This is a great example of the level of detail that goes into setting a rotation and allocating minutes.

Despite missing the 4th quarter, tonight was the 22nd time in Nikola Jokic’s career that he led both teams in a game in points, rebounds, assists and steals (including ties).
That is the most such games in NBA history - two more than LeBron James (20) in second place.

This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard:
“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”

Turek was born with spina bifida and is a Paralympic gold medalist. He now claims the seat once held by Tom Harkin, the author of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Sundance Wicks said his staff started "charting excuses" his players had in the first half against Regis tonight.
"Let's just make a whole booklet of all the excuses of why it's not working out for us. Chart it. Eventually, we're just going to read your excuses back to you, and then you're going to find out, 'Man, that's pretty soft.'"

There are 13 teams ranked higher in the CFP rankings than the AP Poll...9 are from the SEC.
There are also 9 teams ranked lower in the CFP rankings than the AP Poll... ZERO are from the SEC.
This isn't a coincidence.

This video is amazing
Kelvin Sampson is great because he coaches to a standard, not a scoreboard
The slow change from him yelling, to the scoreboard coming up that says 15-3, is awesome

Saying nearly 160 people die a year in the reflecting pool is so funny. That's like a throwaway joke they'd do on The Simpsons about the people of Springfield

You have to learn about a topic to know how to think critically about it. I believe this is a very essential one for anyone interested in how people learn to think.

There is nothing sexy about the way Houston plays the game, but they WIN and play the right way
