Due to my hip surgery, I only walked down in Canal Park once last summer. That night, I met Jonah Plys. Safe to say there were bigger plans than mine that day☝️🙏.

If you wouldn’t mind, the girl in the middle of this pic could use some prayers today. Has been fighting for her life down at the Mayo for the last 24+ hrs. She has inspired a whole community & many more with how she has lived her life. Strongest person I know #Faith💜

Last night @iansmith0725 & his dad Roy waited outside SMSU locker room for @RyanB_5 for 20 min. Wanted to let him know they have enjoyed the battles & have a lot of respect. Talk about CLASS! No mystery why Ian has been one of the best leaders in the conference for years! #Winner

This is Anwar. He is a Somalian Refugee & one of my best friends in high school. Him & his family, along with many others, escaped a terrible war in their home country & resettled in MN/PR. I am forever grateful for that opportunity to welcome them in. Love > Hate
This is Klan rally stuff—attacking Somalian refugees for. having fled a civil war

I Love AAU hoops, but know it’s not always an option for everyone, especially in small towns. Cool thing my dad is doing back home trying to revive the gym rat culture. If you want to get better, you gotta put in the work. Also, classic “dad” pun for a tag line 😂🧠👍 #AA4U.

Coaching 4th grade funny of the day: my guy pulls down an Orebound and is swarmed, ball is stripped, goes off his leg and out of bounds. Looks at me confused & says “I thought there was no press” . 🤔. Knowing whether you are on O or D is hard sometimes 🤣.
