Jason Terry breaks down how the Mavericks slowed down LeBron in 2011, but had ZERO answers for Dwyane Wade: “This is at a point in LeBrons career where he didn’t have the consistent jump shot yet. We knew he wanted to get to certain spots on the floor but if we can set our zone defense where he can see a wall of 3 guys, he would be less likely to attack. — D Wade was a monster at that time in his career. There was no defensive gameplan you could do to stop him. We tried. Did not work.” (Via Bleacher Report)

Kendrick Perkins LOVES the Giannis and Bam fit for the Heat: “I love it. Defensively they’re gonna be a problem. If they’re not a top 5 defensive team in the league I gotta start looking at Bam and Giannis sideways…. No matter who they put around them, they should be top 5. If I’m the Heat, I actually love the duo. I think it challenges Bam to continue to get better. His ability to stretch the floor and knock down 3s consistently is going to be at an all time high. The only reason Rudy and KAT was able to work and co exist, was because KAT ability to stretch the floor. Bam has those same capabilities” (Via Martel Llewellyn /

Can we talk about the oft stated goal that children “come to kindergarten ready to learn?” As if THAT is when learning actually begins. (Spoiler alert: It isn’t.) What you’re watching is more than “just play.” It’s a developing brain firing on all cylinders. 🧠 Still months away from her second birthday, this little one is demonstrating an impressive array of skills. Watch as she: Matches by color. Identifies and sorts by shape. Sequences the placement of individual blocks. Differentiates between sizes. Problem solves. And hones her fine motor skills… all in 56 seconds. Imagine if we made a list of all she learns in an hour. In a day. In a week. The period from prenatal to three is the single most consequential period in all of human development. But we’re yet to treat it as such. How would our public policy look if we moved past the idea that learning begins at age five? This fantastic 🎥 via lizzy_helloworld IG

CONCEPTUALLY THINKING BASKETBALL: PHS Girls Basketball All Iowa Attack Girls Addison Bjorn 5⭐️ TOP-10 ADDISON BJORN (2026) - PARK HILL SOUTH HS (MISSOURI) 6’2” Shooting Guard/Wing | All Iowa Attack EYBL Elite Five-Star Two-Way Wing with Systematic Defensive Excellence Addison Bjorn’s recruitment represents the convergence of elite physical tools and systematic basketball preparation. Her top-10 national ranking isn’t inflated recruiting hype—it’s validated through production against EYBL competition and backed by defensive event creation that translates directly to collegiate winning. What separates Bjorn from measurement-based prospects is her 5.9 combined stocks per game, signaling anticipation and competitive engagement that predicts long-term success better than any combine metric. PRODUCTION ANALYSIS: Volume Scoring with Defensive Impact Bjorn’s 22.1 points per game demonstrates scoring capability, but smart programs focus on the efficiency behind the volume. The 11.5 rebounds from the wing position indicates relentless pursuit and positioning discipline. Her 3.4 assists reveal court awareness beyond her primary scoring role. The critical indicators: 3.4 steals and 2.5 blocks per game create a defensive event creation rate that places her in elite company nationally. DEFENSIVE DISRUPTION: Elite Event Creation and Versatility This defensive versatility allows coaching staffs to deploy her across multiple positions and defensive schemes. She can guard primary ball handlers on the perimeter while providing weakside rim protection. Programs building switch-heavy defensive systems value this positional flexibility as force multipliers for defensive efficiency. RECRUITMENT MARKET ANALYSIS: Blue Blood Validation Her finalist list—Iowa, UConn, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Duke, Texas, Kansas—represents systematic validation from elite program infrastructure. These coaching staffs don’t chase recruiting rankings. They identify prospects whose skill sets translate to their defensive systems and offensive philosophies. COMPETITIVE INFRASTRUCTURE: All Iowa Attack EYBL Development Bjorn’s production within this competitive environment validates her ability to compete at the highest levels. The program’s EYBL standing ensures exposure to diverse defensive schemes and top-tier athletic profiles. PHYSICAL PROJECTION: Collegiate-Ready Frame with Continued Development At 6’2”, Bjorn possesses ideal wing size for modern basketball systems. Her length allows her to contest shots without leaving her feet while her frame suggests continued strength development through collegiate training programs. The rebounding and shot-blocking production indicate she already uses her physical tools effectively rather than relying on unrealized potential. SYSTEM FIT EVALUATION: Versatile Across Multiple Philosophies Bjorn’s skill set translates across tempo-based and half-court systems. Her defensive versatility allows deployment in switch-everything schemes or traditional defensive structures. Offensively, she functions as a primary scoring option or complementary wing depending on program needs. THE Derrick Beechum VERDICT Addison Bjorn represents legitimate five-star value backed by systematic preparation and competitive validation. Her top-10 national ranking isn’t recruiting service inflation—it’s earned through elite defensive production and versatile offensive capability. The finalist list reflects smart program evaluation of her translatable skills rather than hype-based recruitment. @ARCSportsPerf Ryan Deppen Grind House Basketball #OWUEvalDay #ConceptuallyThinking [Jeremy Brooks ] [NXTPRO Hoops Girls] [Jr. All-Star Girls Basketball] [] [Premier Recruiting Service girls basketball [World Exposure Report Women’s Basketball] [Blake Derrick] [Winston Kelly] [Sidney A.

Stacking D-Line abilities is the key to generating consistent, game-breaking pressure in Madden 26 ⛓️🔥 The best players in the world are prioritizing the Double or Nothing ability to get “super wins” and instant heat off the line. Even top competitors like Henry have been seen running as many as five Double or Nothings at once. The Catch: • Double or Nothing uses double the stamina for every pass rush move • If your player runs out of stamina, they will get stonewalled at the line of scrimmage How to stack them (The “Stamina Trio”): • Double or Nothing + Extra Credit: This reduces the stamina cost for every pass rush move you attempt • BOGO: This grants you a free pass rush move once per play after you’ve already spent stamina on an initial move • Defensive Rally: This is arguably the best ability because it replenishes stamina for the entire defensive line on 3rd and 4th downs Why this works: • Stacking these ensures your pass rushers don’t fatigue, allowing them to shed blocks throughout the entire game • You get the benefit of “super wins” without the risk of your line becoming useless by the second half 🎥 Full breakdown in the video!

Marc Andreessen says Elon Musk runs 120 design reviews a day in 5-minute slots. He does this while running six different companies at once. Andreessen says Elon maps each company as a production process. Each process has one bottleneck — the single thing slowing it down. Elon finds the engineer working on that bottleneck and sits with them until it's fixed. He does this at Tesla 52 times a year. Personally. "There's no CEO like this." Most CEOs run their companies through a wall of middle managers. Andreessen watched IBM collapse under that model. Inside IBM, they had a name for the failure mode: the "Big Gray Cloud." It was the traveling court of suited men who kept the CEO away from engineers. After 12 layers of compounding lies, the CEO had no idea what was happening. Elon's method is the polar opposite. Design review math: - 5 minutes per engineer - 12 reviews per hour - 10 hours per day - 120 reviews per day An engineer described working for him as entering "a zone of shocking competence." On sustaining it, Elon's rule is: "I don't take vacations." What's the one weekly bottleneck in your work that nobody's fixing? P.S. I made a playbook breaking down 100+ most powerful decision making mental models used by history's greatest thinkers. 5,000+ downloads. 113 five-star reviews. Grab a free copy here: If you're new here, follow GeniusThinking for content on the greatest minds in economics, psychology, and history. — Marc Andreessen ( Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 ), co-founder of a16z, on David Senra's ( David Senra ) podcast

How Should Investors Respond to the Sea Change in US Monetary Policy? Yesterday I joined our friends Romaine Bostick and Katie Greifeld on Bloomberg TV to discuss the Fed’s potentially historic policy pivot. The Fed’s revised monetary policy framework is consistent with our call for structural reform at the institution and risks blowing bubbles in stocks, gold, and Bitcoin over a long-term time horizon. The Fed’s justification for lowering the policy rate is consistent with 42 Macro 🇺🇸's call that the FOMC will lean into the long-term outlook for productivity growth to implement increasingly — and perhaps unjustifiably — dovish monetary policy. The Fed’s pivot to expansionary balance sheet policy is consistent with our call that the FOMC will sacrifice Main Street to save Wall Street by restarting QE during a nationwide affordability crisis, and suggests the institution is more focused on solving the repo market problem that our Macro Weather Model had identified — at least on a transitory basis. If Reserve Management Operation Purchases (RMOP) are not temporary, this is the official — albeit tepid — start of Paradigm D. Powell’s commentary in his presser supports our resoundingly bullish inclination. Enjoy the content and have a great day! —Skipper 💜

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL–U.S. WAR WITH IRAN - Reporting Window: Last 24 Hours There’s a widening gap right now between the language being used publicly and what’s actually unfolding underneath it. You have ceasefire talk. You have negotiation chatter. But when you look at the mechanics, the system is still tightening. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚓ AT SEA: PRESSURE BECOMES ENFORCEMENT The clearest development in the last 24 hours is at sea. The United States is now actively enforcing the blockade, not just signaling it. Thirteen commercial vessels have already been turned back after direct warnings from U.S. naval forces, backed by carrier strike groups and full air support overhead. That’s not symbolic pressure. That’s control being asserted in real time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏭 INSIDE IRAN: ADJUSTMENT UNDER STRAIN Iran, in turn, is no longer just absorbing that pressure. It’s adjusting to it. Tehran has halted petrochemical exports entirely, redirecting supply inward to stabilize domestic markets after sustained damage to industrial infrastructure. At the same time, the internal environment remains locked down. The nationwide internet blackout is still in place, each day setting a new record for the longest ever recorded, with measurable economic damage already mounting and day-to-day activity inside the country increasingly constrained. This is not collapse. But it is a regime shifting into a defensive footing internally. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇱🇧 LEBANON: A PAUSE WITHOUT CONTROL Up north, the Lebanon front is sitting in a fragile and somewhat artificial pause. A 10-day ceasefire framework is technically holding, and civilians are already moving back toward southern areas. But the underlying conditions haven’t stabilized. Destroyed infrastructure is being rapidly repaired, including key bridges over the Litani, allowing movement back into areas that were deliberately restricted just days ago. At the same time, Israeli leadership continues to signal that operations will resume or expand if Hezbollah is not pushed back. And Hezbollah itself has not clearly aligned with the ceasefire structure. So what you have is not resolution. It’s a pause that neither side fully controls. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 SUPPLY LINES: ACTIVE, BUT CONTESTED What’s happening around Lebanon reinforces that. A shipment of roughly 6,000 explosive detonators was intercepted in Syria en route to Lebanon, likely intended for Hezbollah. That’s a small detail, but it carries weight. Because it shows two things at once: *⃣ Hezbollah’s supply lines are still active. *⃣ And they are no longer moving freely. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 REGIONAL POSTURE: SILENT ALIGNMENT And zooming out, that pattern holds across the region. There is no meaningful external relief for Iran right now. Gulf financial channels are tightening under U.S. pressure. Shipping lanes are being enforced, not contested. Supply corridors are being disrupted, even if unevenly. Even countries that are publicly critical of U.S. and Israeli actions are not stepping in to offset the pressure in any material way. That silence is not neutral. It’s alignment without exposure. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🕊️ DIPLOMACY: ACTIVE, BUT UNCHANGED Diplomatically, nothing has simplified. There is still discussion of extending the ceasefire window with Iran. There are still backchannel efforts moving through intermediaries. But the actual points that matter haven’t moved: Nuclear capability. Missile systems. Proxy networks. Hormuz access. Sanctions relief. And now there’s an added complication. Iran continues trying to tie the Lebanon front into the broader negotiation, while Israel is treating it as a separate problem entirely. That disconnect is still unresolved. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS If you strip out the headlines, what changed in the last 24 hours is straightforward: 1. The U.S. moved from pressure to enforcement at sea. 2. Iran shifted further into internal economic stabilization mode. 3. The Lebanon front held, but only in a way that looks temporary. 4. And across the region, no one stepped in to relieve the pressure on Iran. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BOTTOM LINE Nothing decisive happened today. But the structure tightened again. More enforcement. More constraint. More pressure being applied from multiple directions at once. And until something gives on the issues that actually matter, there will be no resolution.

🔥WOW: Kevin O'Leary ERUPTS at MSNBC host who tries (and FAILS) to PIN HIM for applauding President Trump's pressure campaign against China! "They cheat, they steal. They don't play by the rules. And I've had enough!" "I don't care about the volatility. I don't care if Trump ratchets it up 25% a day!" MSNBC: "What do you mean you don't care about volatility? If volatility has a direct impact on us as consumers?!" "Because we have to fix this problem once and for all. It's killing us! It's killing small business in America. It's killing large businesses!" "If we have to squeeze Chinese heads to the wall...So be it!" "When you shut down a factory, you put thousands, if not tens of thousands of people unemployed in China! They take burning torches just like the Frankenstein movie up to the castle. And that's a bad outcome for the Supreme Leader!" "Let's squeeze them, squeeze them, squeeze them. Just keep going and going and going until they start complying. That's what I want!"

It’s possible to nurture independence in your toddler while maintaining attachment, trust, and safety. There’s a video that’s gone super viral this week. Maybe you’ve seen it? It shows a father and his toddler son walking down a path that is blocked, at a point, by a set of three low-hanging ropes. Dad steps over them easily, but they’re right at waist/chest level for his son. The father turns around to see how the toddler will navigate the obstacle and the little one lifts his arms, signaling for dad to lift him over the barrier. Instead, dad silently turns his back and walks away. Distressed, the toddler yells for his father and begins attempting to navigate the ropes. As he does he becomes entangled - at which point dad returns, picks the toddler up, places him back where he started, and again turns his back and walks off. After some effort - and several more distressed vocalizations - our hero finally does manage to make his way to the other side (at which point the father applauds and returns to congratulate him). The reaction has been split - with many praising the father for encouraging independence and problem solving and others less enamored. Count me in the second camp, but not because I disagree with his intent. The thing is that it’s possible to nurture independence without withdrawing safety, support, and encouragement. Contrast that video with this one of a toddler working hard to overcome an obstacle of her own. The challenge: descend a set of outdoor stairs. Both videos depict parents encouraging independence and problem solving. But where one parent goes radio silent, physically distances himself, and creates a needlessly stressful situation, the other stays in close proximity, providing reassurance and verbal encouragement… (before improvising an amazing “happy dance” song). Promoting appropriate levels of independence is a worthy goal (in both instances). But the approaches we take make a difference. Note that the mother here doesn’t intervene physically, leaving her toddler to navigate the challenge entirely on her own. (She actually provides less intervention than the father does in this regard.) What’s more, she provides no verbal instruction, limiting her comments to simple encouragements (“Let’s do it! Come on!”). But her actions and presence send a message that says “you can do it” rather than “I’m leaving.” Her approach promotes independence, attachment, and trust all at the same time. And that’s a combination that actually encourages problem solving. (Note that at the end of the video her daughter climbs back up the stairs to try the whole thing over again.) Be like this mom. This video - which is far more deserving of viral status - shared to IG by asheybashy.
