Wow thanks for sharing these memories…I miss my hair lol.
Dwyane Wade (@DwyaneWade) and Cordell Henry (@cdell112) speak to Dick Vitale (@DickieV) on the Al McGuire Court after #11 @MarquetteMBB defeats Louisville (@LouisvilleMBB) 75-63 on February 16, 2002 #mubb
Truth is, some people just like to play, while others LOVE to COMPETE.
Adversity exposes the difference. One raises their level when the temperature rises. The other folds under pressure and finds excuses.
Everybody THINKS they love the game until the game demands more.
Successful people have routines because routines create structure, demand discipline, and require accountability. They don’t operate based on how they feel. They operate based on the standards they’ve established for themselves.
I constantly try to share life experiences with our team. I told them: mentally weak people make excuses and point fingers. Competitors are problem solvers. They don’t waste time blaming others. They keep digging, adjusting, and searching until they find a solution.
Showing up, competing, and pushing through adversity are things you should be doing ANYWAY! You don’t deserve a reward or a pat on the back for doing what comes with the job!
If losing doesn’t hurt enough, then either you haven’t won enough… or you’re not mentally tough enough to figure out what it takes to win.

IMG did a great job of closing this game out. We are watching @MoMoBucketz mature during this preseason. In a key run, she knocked down 2 threes & created 5 other points. She knew when to call her own number & when to distribute. The best part during that run: on none of the made shots was there a personal celebration. All business - focused on the WIN 👏👏👏👏👏👏
At 5’8”, 155 lbs, what kept me on the floor at ALL levels of my career under fatigue & adversity was that I could still think, compete at a high level, lift others up, and remain coachable.
Who are YOU under those same conditions?
From an early age, I was grateful for every opportunity to step on the court and compete. Just being around the game was an honor. I was a sponge with my coaches and teammates, collecting lessons along the way that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. 🙏🏾🏀
Everyone has a personal journey for what they want. At some point, a line will appear and you’ll have to decide if you’re willing to cross it at all costs. Your walk does not guarantee comfort or an entourage. Sometimes purpose gets lonely.
On ball: apply pressure. Pass is made? Jump 2 steps toward the ball, then 1 step off the line.
Off ball: midline, stance, communicate, see man AND ball. Groundbreaking stuff 😂
Start there. We can get fancy later.
Last time I played in Ovar was 2006—back-to-back champion.
20 years later, I’m invited back. Not because of stats, but character, relationships, and respect for the culture.
What you leave with people outlives the game.
See you Thursday, Portugal. 🇵🇹
In high school I NEVER used a shooting machine, had a trainer, or lifted weights.
I just hooped outside, ran hills, and played strikeout baseball with the X on the bricks.
Anything competitive was fun to me.
All my D1 offers came from knowing how to compete.

Wheels up tomorrow 🛫 from FL and AL for one BIG Lone Star studded official visit! 🤘
Championships are won when people genuinely care about the person next to them every day.
It has NOTHING to do with points and EVERYTHING to do with putting others in the best position to succeed.
That’s where egos are shed. That’s when a group becomes a team.
When a blessing is for you, you won’t have to force it or beg for it.
You’ll simply walk into it… and everything around you will begin to shift, align, and make room for what GOD already had with your name on it.
That’s when you’ll know your season has arrived.
