It’s time for Victim Wemby to return to France. A man without gratitude & humility. Should never be the face of the league.
The contrast with Jalen Brunson is night & day. Jalen is inspiring, gracious & mentally tough. His parents deserve enormous credit for his greatness.

The Knicks need a goon.
Jalen is absorbing a beating. The flagrant (no call) by Wemby can not be ignored.
All great teams need an enforcer.
Isiah Thomas had Laimbeer.

Tonight’s alternate ref for game #1 of the NBA finals is JB DeRosa. JB worked @CRCBasketball games. @dcref was in charge of recruiting & assigning officials. Doug did a phenomenal job. High quality refs were a huge part of our success.

Unless basketball drills are competitive, trainers are developing players who are good at drills but lack the toughness, skill, decision making and resiliency to be complete players. Drills should place the trainee at a disadvantage (ie, 4 on 3 D drills, ballhandling 1 on 2, etc)

Joe Mazzulla- NBA coach of the year. Phenomenal job leading the Celtics.
First time I met him, it was obvious he was a star in the making.

All while athletics continues to spend without accountability.
In the end, student athletes/students will be left with markedly fewer opportunities.
US government concedes Biden administration violated independent journalist Alex Berenson’s 1A rights by pressuring social media companies to censor his speech. The government has issued the following & provided a financial settlement. A big win for our constitutional rights.

The NBA is inconsistent in handing out punishment. The league favors certain players. Wemby ejected following a cheap flagrant foul but no suspension. Isaiah Stewart is physical & intense. If he did what Wemby did, he would be gone for the playoffs.
Hoping Naz Reid lights him up

The best leaders are the best prepared. They demand intense preparation from every team member.
Preparation builds confidence and limits surprises which allows improvisation in the most pressurized situations.

Not what I want to be
Not what I’m going to be
But I’m thankful I’m not what I used to be”. John Wooden

Fauci destroyed confidence in public health that will take decades to repair. One of his senior aides was indicted today in Maryland for concealing & destroying documents regarding the origins of Covid.

Ability to profit from 1’s expertise should never be questioned, but NIL must adhere to institutional guidelines. However, revenue sharing is illogical.
Institutions are hemorrhaging $ & even “self-sufficient” athletic dept aren’t independent-depend on outside $ to balance budget

The implementation of NIL & revenue sharing has virtually eliminated academic casualties.
I guess players automatically became better students. Hm……
