In a week full of great press conf. Clips, this is my favorite. We need more Nick Collison’s in the world. He was more focused on being the best HS player he could be instead of trying to impress college coaches or play in the NBA. Look what happens. HS players, take note!

@nickcollison4
grew up in a small town in Iowa that had 5 stop lights. He gets very emotional reflecting on how far he's come in his career and his jersey retirement.

Jalen Suggs was an awesome HS QB, so here is my reminder that you can play football AND be a high level basketball player. In fact it will probably ELEVATE you as a basketball player. Good basketball players = good skill guys in FB. Play multiple sports. I’m going to bed.

Nick Collison is 2nd All-Time in Career scoring at Kansas, but 3rd in Career scoring at his high school. If you watched Nick play in HS, you know this is mainly due to how unselfish he was and him sitting the majority of second halves due to large leads. 🐐
What's your favorite random sports stat that blows your mind every time you see it?

Todd Barry, my first college head coach, came to watch our team. A lot of who I am as a coach is because of the great coaches who coached me! Thanks for recruiting me all those years ago. Without you, I don't meet my wife, my best friends, or become a coach.

Awesome clip! One of my favorite memories of Nick’s career. Also, players take note...run the floor!
The last time the Jayhawks met Duke in the NCAA tournament, Nick Collison had 33 points and 19 rebounds leading KU to a win over the Blue Devils in the Sweet 16.

HS basketball is awesome because the team is made up of dudes who have one common bond - community. The most rewarding experience is embracing that mindset that this is “our team” and WE are going to do whatever it takes to be the best WE can be.

At first I was a little bummed we didn’t have a game the first Friday of the season, but the fact that we got to have the team over for dinner and I got to spend the night with my two favorite girls made up for it. Clearly, Kristen is the funniest person alive!

Camp Week 2019 is over! We had a blast with the kids & we can’t wait to see the improvements they make going into NEXT year’s camp. Camp is fun, but it takes a lot of work and planning. When you combine that with a newborn baby at home, it definitely makes sense that I’ve aged.

I don’t know how it could have gone to anyone else. We’ll be talking about this kid for years and how we need more of our athletes to be like him. A great basketball player in a world where everyone says, “ahh I wouldn’t play baseball”, he plays baseball and is DAMN good. Kudos.
