That time Larry Bird decided to play left-handed against the Blazers because, and this is an actual quote, “I’m saving my right hand for the Lakers.” He put up 47 points, 14 boards, 11 assists. Two nights later, the Celtics beat the Lakers at the Forum.

Michael Jordan says he didn't want anything to do with people who skip steps to become a winner "You gotta have a passion, you gotta put forth the work, to me thats a process, that is a winner" This is why Jordan hasn't wanted anything to do with Lebrons cheating ass

Nick Saban explains one of the biggest threats to continued success. "Success is not continuous. Just because you're having success doesn't mean you're going to continue to have success." Past success guarantees nothing. You have to earn it every day. "When you have complacency and you get satisfied, it creates a blatant disregard for doing the right things." And here's the danger: "You start to resent the very things that got you where you were." You can't resent the process. Success starts with showing up, doing the work, and living the details. "We pride ourselves in hard work. 'I resent that. I resent the hard work that you're making us do. Why are we running sprints?' Well, we always ran them. This is exactly what we did last year on this day. 'Well, I don't think we need to do that anymore.'" Complacency is the enemy of excellence. You combat it with a mindset of growth - never satisfied and always earning. (🎥CarBiz Today )

Dan Hurley shares the difference between transactional and transformational coaching. "I'm a transformational coach. I'm not transactional." "The work rate. The standards. The unwaveringly high standards that were going to be bestowed upon everyone associated with the program was going to be incredibly uncomfortable." High standards aren't comfortable. They're not supposed to be. "But the payout was going to be excellence and learning how to be successful. And it was going to change every person's lives that stays in the fight and builds this with us." That's the reality. Transformational environments push people out of their comfort zone. They encourage growth. "It's not a Hollywood movie. Not everyone that started with us finished with us. Because the standards of what we were looking to do was not for everyone." Not everyone can handle the discomfort of becoming their best. But for those who stay? Their lives change. The price of excellence is discomfort. (🎥It's All About The Team ) (🎥@JimTressel5)

Toby Harris went from D3 at Brandeis to D1 at Iona to NBA pre-draft workouts with the Knicks and Cavs. Ben Pearce stayed D3 his entire career at Emory and still earned a pre-draft workout with the Wizards. Different paths, same lesson. Play at a high level and the right people will find you no matter where you are.

Josh Hart: "Everybody wants to be the guy that scores the most, that puts the ball in the basket and that's not everybody's path. That wasn't my path and sometimes that's a tough pill to swallow but when you embrace that when you're a star in your role and you take pride in doing the little things that breeds winning basketball. For me as embraced as I was in this city wearing this jersey that sacrifice was easy. Some days it was tough don't get me wrong but you sacrifice for moments like this"

"Where would you say the cutoff of New Jersey is?" "[Jalen Brunson] says there's no Central Jersey." "I feel it's only North and South." "North and South? He was born in New Brunswick!" A good ol' Jersey conversation at NBA All-Star Media Day 2026 😅

“Whatever you do in life, have the courage and commitment to do it to your absolute best.” - Pat Summitt Not halfway effort. Not excuses. Not “good enough.” The courage to show up. The commitment to stay with it. That’s where excellence lives.
