Couldn’t be more proud and happier for my guy
@dillonbrooks24
People have to remember he wasn’t drafted for his defense. He was player of the year in the PAC 12 for a reason.
Couldn’t be more proud of
@BeMore27
forget the basketball part, which the world now knows he’s an all star but that interview showed the world who you are as a person. S/O to his dad Roger for mentoring and raising a special young man.

Please let’s not forget what an amazing job Coach Jacque Vaughn and Coach Monty Williams have done with their respective teams.
@NBA
continue to give our black coaches more opportunities. ✊🏾
We as a people need to be happy 4 others. We should want others to do well. We should encourage n support others to become overcomers. We should celebrate in their successes n be genuinely happy for them. When u have this mindset great thing will happen in your life!

How can
@dillonbrooks24
not make the all rookie second team...Defended the best player on every team they played. What are we teaching kids, It’s more important to score than play D. Then folks wonder why these kids play the way they do.
Congrats to
@Roy_Rana
one of the most memorable year in Canadian coaching history.....First junior worlds championship ever, going 3-1 with our men’s national team and topping it off by beating the mighty Carlton Ravens and winning the Silver in Nationals. Well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Just want to encourage someone out there, don’t be afraid to live your dream. I know it seems impossible and a lot of things are working against you but don’t stop pressing. Your dream will become your reality very soon.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their support. I’m excited for this next chapter in life and looking forward to continuing to leave a Legacy!!!

I really hope NBA teams and GMs realize that you still need the mid range game, you need rim protectors, you can’t just play small ball. You need bigs that can switch and contain guards, you need a bench and you have to trust them to bring energy.
This is the problem with some of these scouts/team they go off the hype off draft boards or measurable but forget to measure heart and toughness. Another example, is Dillon Brooks.
Draymond Green was a NBA 2nd Rd Draft pick. What most NBA scouts as well as the NBA Combine couldn't measure was his heart, competitiveness & leadership. But when a lot of them have never been in the heat of battle as a player and/or coach, how would they know the value of that?
People need to stop blaming Pascal. There were bigger issue than him. Marc was -19 tonight and I don’t blame him. You can’t lose trust in what got you here. Toronto doesn’t have that superstar so you have to do it collectively. You have a deeper bench than Boston so use it...
Now more than ever Black folks need to unite and come together. It’s a bit interesting to me not to hear from some of these so-called legendary college coaches (nonblack)...where you at? Makes you think....where are some of these so called powerful agents (nonblack)where you at?
Really breaks my heart to hear about the shooting that took place in Florida. If our kids can’t be safe in schools or churches, where can they be???All you can do is pray for God’s protection in this evil world.
My heart and prayers go out to those kids and their families.
Someone explain to me why it’s ok for (some) media to put down, make fun of, insult, and/or criticize young athletes? We retweet, laugh, joke about it, basically condone it, then turn around and teach kids this is bullying👀
So with the new year coming in, I’ve decided to get rid of all the negative people in my life. Can’t let these folks drain you of your energy. Can’t hate who God has blessed!
#keepitmoving
Maybe this transfer rule isn’t as positive as I thought. So many of these kids are running away from adversity, I’m not saying all but there’s a lot. There’s kid in that portal that have no right entering it. Secondly, these HS kids are getting screwed bc of it. Not good!
Straight racist and I’d really love if these racist 🤡 would stop saying they’re Christians because the Christ I know doesn’t look like or act the way these 🤡 do. You’re embarrassing his name by your actions.
#falsechristians
You’ve benefited for years off our people and in a time we need you we can’t hear you!!! Black coaches in the NCAA need to create and start a union ASAP. We need more representation as head coaches in the NCAA so your voices can be heard. You can’t stay quiet anymore.
#standup
He’s an all star, not maybe not possibly, he is. And would be nice for the Canadian media to start giving the kid some love!!! Did this against one of the best teams in the NBA!!
Jamal Murray puts up a career high scoring output tonight. Continues to prove that he is one of the best guards in the NBA
➖➖➖
🔘48 Points
🔘5 Rebounds
🔘4 Assists
🔘19/30 FGM
One of the top pg in the league. Helps lead one of the deepest roster in the league and having the ability to takeover when needed. The two man game btw

and joker is like Stockton and Malone.

Some of these coaches kill me. Man if you can switch schools and take another job, why can’t these kids....stop the nonsense. “Attitude reflects leadership”
Ya but everyone wants to talk about players with losing records complaining that they didn’t make all star team. If
@BeMore27
was on a bad team he’d average 30 plus!!! This is the second year in a row that they’re in 2nd in a tough west conf and he gets no love. 🤷🏽♂️
With that said, Happy New Years to all the real ones out there, who love and support unconditionally. May 2018 be a special year. Remember when you go against the norm and make a difference, you’re always going to face those that try to bring you down.

@kylegoon
I totally agree and been saying this. It’s not right! Coaches and the Front office should have a family member allowed in. Even if it’s just the hotel etc.. and no games.
Ok I get the JR Smith was a bonehead play. However, let’s not forget that the Cavs still had a timeout. Georgee Boy should’ve made the free throw. And they’re lucky JR even grabbed the rebound. Lastly, why wasn’t lebron in there rebounding 🤷🏽♂️
Is it possible for America to allow
@BarackObama
or
@mcuban
to run the country for the next 3 months to help navigate through this challenging time. I’m asking for a friend (the whole damn world).
Keep digging amigo, just 8% blacks? Well i guess they all live in Toronto 🤷🏽♂️. Do me a favor before you keep talking. Survey the league and ask players their top 3 places to play/visit…guarantee Toronto will be on “everyone’s” list.
#Goomba
I never said Blacks are “treated worse in Toronto” than in America. Never! That’s ridiculous. I said living there is different and “not the same as living in America for Blacks.” Very diverse city. But just 8% Black. I love visiting Toronto. Visiting.
Last time I checked, I don’t think anyone cares if you don’t watch you racist prick. By the way, Utah and Lakers won...wait you probably already knew that because you still watched the game. 🤣😂🤣🤣. Oh and you spelt your last name wrong, remove the “ir” and add a “K”
Hilarious to see Black NBA players who make millions a year take a knee to try and tell us black people can’t succeed in America. Kick them out of the league. Done watching the NBA.
This was really cool but I wish they would’ve contacted some of the vets of Malton so we could’ve shared in the moment. Wildwood is a special place not just for me but all Malton hoopers. So many cuts, bruises, fights and arguments but it’s made us who we are today! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So this is historic and we as a country stand with
@SteveNash
and hoping we get more Canadian coaches in the NBA and college. And I’m hoping the NBA does hire more black coaches but we’re deserving of it!!!
Proud uncle moment, amazing to see your growth from both off and on the court. Way to continue to run your race through all the hurdles and obstacles you’ve overcome. Looking forward to your next chapter and love you nephew!
So again think about it. The gov’t put more money into investigating black coaches that were helping families than money investigating their corrupt police force. Let that sink in for a minute. Also let it sink in that the head coaches at these places still have their jobs 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Wow, what a world we live. Let me first say it’s not all white people but the ones that are burning & cutting their NIKE clothing in some form of protest is disgusting. We know this isn’t about the anthem, this is clearly a race thing. Let your true colors shine, you racist pigs!
I’m just seeing this video of this shooting n honest to God I’m so angry and hurt that there’s people like this in the world. What has happened to us? How can u hate someone so much bc of their beliefs or what they look like? What are parents teaching their kids?
#Disheartening
To be honest, as a Canadian this is historic and I’m happy 4
@SteveNash
and this means just as much to us as it does hiring a black coach. Although we’ve had 1 Canadian head coach, he coached in Toronto n was interim for the Suns but we’ve never had someone hired in US until now.
Norbertas Giga, who left Lithuania to come to the U.S. to play college basketball, thought he was going to be watching film with his coaches.
Instead, he was surprised by his mom, who he hadn't seen since 2013. 😭
Happy New Years to everyone. I pray 2019 is a special year of growth and prosperity. That every obstacle and challenge will be overcome. That all sickness will be healed. Let faith reign over all fear. Be blessed!!
Kyrie Irving admits he was bothered by Jamal Murray’s late shot for 50 (called it a “bullshit move”). But stressed he didn’t want to make a big deal of it and praised Murray’s performance overall.
@Coachtrinikev
Lots of fake love out there sir...pretend to be about the kids but all about themselves!!!!! People always scheming how to tear others down👀
Thank you
@ReggieMillerTNT
there’s no question
@BeMore27
should be an all star. Wins a championship, 2nd west, averaging 20 plus and still can’t get in. Madness!!!
Ok I’ll do my best to explain this CANADA basketball problem so people can actually understand. There’s not an issue with our guys wanting to play for our country. The biggest issue here is FIBA and their scheduling. Thus, causing the US and Canada to suffer the most.....
Just wanted to thank everyone for the bday wishes. Really appreciate the love, means a lot. Praying this year will be a special year of growth in all areas of my life. Thanks again!
