Going to miss these incredible humans. Humbled per usual to be a small part in a larger program platformed on the empowerment of women through sport (basketball).

The Basketball Embassy has a global goal to unite people through hoops, but some of it's most important work starts in SA.

When I met him he exuded Joy for the game, while happiness remained conditional. He emphasized that there was no substitute for hard work, but admitted that his edge may have been predicated by his ability to "blur the line between work and play."

The world is asking us to distance, mask & stay outdoors when we can. As basketball coaches, we are literally asking our players to do the opposite. The least we could do is test them to prevent asymptomatic spread. Players, ask yourself what your worth is

Hard to make sense of things to people with no sense/ desire to be sensible. I'm far less discouraged by our "leadership" than by my fellow citizen's response to said "leadership." Self-awareness shouldn't be a burden.

Ethos/Identity matter in teams,, especially at the Olympics.

& his teammates grew up with a dream of playing for their country...as did nearly every other non-USA born player in the world. It matters. Our guys had a different dream..Doesn't translate to this stage.

A great indicator of where basketball has gone: the "3pm" addition to traditional stat lines. I dont need to know how many 3s a player hit anymore than I need a breakdown of rebound or assist locations on the floor. "Points" is fine. "3pm" is redundant & shows our 3pt obsession

Good defenders recognize "ready" in their offensive counterpart. Don't close bad feet! Conversely, offensive players better be ready and demonstrate ready footwork to draw a closeout.

Pro football is the only "Sport" that cannot simply define what a catch is. Basketball, baseball, rugby, netball, dodgeball... they've all figured it out. Poor football still hasn't.

I guess there was an American football game on this evening... they lost me when they became the only "professional" sport that can't define a catch. Basketball knows...baseball knows... softball, cricket, netball and newcomb. I enjoyed cartoons with my 5 yr old this evening.
