STEPHEN A. SMITH: “Are you ready for this? I consider weed a performance-enhancing drug.” PANEL: “Really?! How?” SMITH: “Let me explain why. If you go out into the streets of America... you got some cats on the street, these some bad motherf*ckers, they can really, really ball. They can...

Stephen A. Smith says marijuana should not be allowed in the NBA because he considers it a performance-enhancing drug “I consider weed a performance-enhancing drug.” “It helps calm your nerves.” “Nerves are part of competition.” “If you’re using a drug that allows you to calm your nerves and it elevates your poise, that’s a performance enhancer because you are immune to the pressure.” “It’s Game 73 and you gotta go to the free throw line with two seconds left. You gotta make both to tie the game. That’s nerves.” “If weed is something that helps that, that’s a performance enhancer.” “It should not be allowed.”

Liam Coen says analytics should inform decisions, never make them “We leverage analytics. Absolutely. We leverage it for the data and the information to make a decision, not to make the decision. That’s not how it goes. Ever.” “You have the data, AI, analytics, it is unreal. What are the true decisions that lie in the moment, in the now? What are the facts that you need to know? That’s great to leverage.” “We have game management. We have an analytics department to gather that information. But we are not making decisions solely based on those numbers. Ultimately, it has to come from the gut and from yourself.” “Is this the best decision for the Jacksonville Jaguars right now? Because that’s all you can live in. You’re living in every single play.” “I’m going to lean aggressive offensively, especially in year one when you’re trying to instill confidence. You’re trying to instill a mindset of, ‘Yeah, we are good.’ I believe we can go get fourth-and-two. We can.” “We talk about momentum a lot as a team. You can feel that. You can feel momentum. You know when you got it and you know when you don’t. I feed off that as a coach and I feed off the player’s energy on the grass and when they have confidence and momentum I want to roll with it, I want to keep it.” “When you have it you wanna stomp on it, you want to make them feel it.. That’s where the aggression comes in, you want to hold onto that and put your foot on the pedal. And as you grow as a coach there are times where you might be like, ‘Alright, may need to kick here. It’s going to be one of those kind of games.’” “So you have to be prepared, know your gut, go with your gut, feel this, all that’s going on around you, and make the best educated decision.”

Stephen A. Smith delivers a blunt message aimed directly at Jasmine Crockett. “I hope Jasmine Crockett is listening to this.” By the end, Smith was visibly perplexed, shrugging his shoulders as to why Crockett couldn’t figure this out. “When you go on national television and… you’re being all disrespectful [to the president], as a representative in this country, do you believe the citizens of Texas sent you there to do that?” Smith asked. “They expect you to go to Capitol Hill and figure out a way to maneuver yourself through that terrain to work in a fashion that’s going to facilitate getting things done on behalf of your constituents.” “That’s your job! That’s your job!” Smith emphasized twice. “Excuse my language on SiriusXM, but it ain’t your job to say, ‘He ain’t sh*t.’ He ain’t worth a damn.’ That’s not your job! Anybody could do that.” Smith then gave Crockett a blunt lesson in decency, explaining that showing Trump some respect is the only way to actually get things done. “He’s a dealmaker. And if you figure out a way to make him look good… He’ll reciprocate,” Smith explained. “If you know that, why can’t you figure it out? Is that hard?” he asked, shrugging his shoulders.

Pete Carroll says winning championships was never actually the point “It isn’t about winning the championship. It’s not about that. As soon as you win it, it’s over with. It’s in your back pocket. You’ve already done that.” “That’s not the motivator. The motivator is to be the best you can possibly be. That’s ongoing. It never ends. I’m not a big goals guy.” “Goals, you achieve them. To me, I want ongoing, never-ending aspirations of being great at what you’re doing. There is no one game that is the only game. There is no one accomplishment that’s the only accomplishment.” “Can you come back again? Is that really who you are? Is that worth fighting for?” “Can you be true to yourself? Can you really be yourself under all circumstances? No matter what happens, when you get your ass whipped in the freaking Super Bowl, when you had two in a row and you’re two seconds from doing it again, can you come back after that moment and still be who you are?” “That was what the challenge was to me. As hard as that looked, as hard as it felt, and as hard as it was on all the people around me, I took it like this: ‘Okay, you knew this was going to happen sometime.’ ‘Are you going to be the real deal or not?’”

jihoon answering teumes’ worries at dawn live 👤: I really wanted to receive a psychiatric (treatment) but I don’t have the courage to do it. Should I go? I think I’m going to have a hard time accepting that I am falling apart. 🐶: but I recommend going to the psychiatrist, whether if it’s receiving a psychological counselling or a psychiatric examination, it’s good to receive a treatment for it. Everyone, going to the psychiatrist doesn’t make you weird. If you caught a cold, you go to the internal medicine department, If your joints or bones hurts, you go to the orthopaedics. It’s just a cold that come to the mind. It’s not that going to the psychiatrist makes me a weird person, no it’s not that. It’s just that I’m exhausted for a while, it’s just a hospital. There’s more people going there more than you think, if you go to hospital, the queuing are the longest. Nowadays, it’s the same as the past too but there’s no one who doesn't have a hard time. In this hard world, although there are people who look at the hard times in a good way, & there are also people who don’t look at it in a good way… but since it’s a world where we lived together, there's nothing we can do about it, right? But those kind of, “ah I went to the psychiatrist & I collapsed” I don’t think you have think of that. It’s just, “I am having a hard time these days so I’m just going to get help for it” just think of it as if you caught a cold. I hope you don’t think of this deeply. Of course you can go. If your stomach hurt, you can go to the internal medicine, if your head hurts, you can go to the Otolaryngology. It’s just that your heart is having a hard time for a while. This is not something to be ashamed of, you don’t need to read the air with the people around you for this. Always cheer up, even if you collapse, let's practice the strength that can make you rise again slowly, treasure makers. You can do it, everyone, I know you can do it.

Ben McCollum: “I think you win enough games and you kind of think that you’ve arrived to a certain level. You forget that it’s still the Big Ten. It’s still a tough league. That’s part of it. I thought some of our guys were really ready to go. But it’s part of also building what we’re trying to build is the ability to be ready every single day. We’re just not there yet. That’s part of the build. It’s not going to just happen.”

Steph Curry on if it bothers him the way the Hornets guarded him tonight: “There’s a part of you that like fights it just because it’s not real basketball. But there’s also a part of it that it’s flattering. Just knowing that you demand that much attention, and also what it does to create shots for other guys on the floor. I’ve seen it all, so I know if that’s how they wanna guard, how I can be effective, not letting it take me out of the game, but also use it to our advantage as a team. It’s also funny at times just how egregious it is.”

“I wasn’t considered the best player in the room, but a lot of times I was the most valuable person in the room… sometimes that means more”- Ryan Clark You have to love this game. It’s hard, it’s stressful, & it demands your absolute best. That’s exactly what you should give. So many people want to be a part of the 1% but the game doesn’t want them. Why would you cheat the game or more importantly yourself? “Whatever you can do to prove to these folks that you are of some value… That’s your job!” DB Precision Retreat V! #SecondaryToNone 🎥 @kiancreativestudios

Qullamaggie on Feeling Like a Genius, It's The Market Not You “A melt-up market is when everything is going straight up. And it becomes too easy to make money. You start feeling like a genius — that’s a melt-up market. Trust me, you are not a genius. None of you. It’s the market, not you. No, it’s true. It’s true. Most of my money has come from periods when the market is really good. You just have to line your trading with a period where the market is really good. You know, you gotta be aggressive when the market is really good. Your job is to identify good setups in a good market — and then let the market take care of the rest. Too many people think they are the shit just because they’re making a lot of money. But that’s not really true. It’s the market, not you.”

Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque was asked about a comment Damian Priest made recently about the same talent being in the top spots, and answers Jamie Iovine’s question on how he feels about the current generation of stars going forward and the “changing of the guard” right now in WWE — “Look, I get that. If you’re the guy that wants to take the spot, it’s frustrating when there’s guys above you that have the spot. We’re in a period of time where there’s a lot of top performers in top spots that over time have earned those spots and are selling tickets and are incredibly popular. So you really have to do something. The narrative of ‘It’s my turn. I’ve been here for a while’. There’s no turns. That’s not how it works. You earn the spot. Believe me. If somebody is getting over more than somebody else, we move that person into the spot and move the other person down. But it’s not just that, it’s not just they’re getting the loud crowd reaction. Are they going to be good in the spot? Are they going to hold up their end of the bargain? Are they going to screw up if we give it to them? Are they going to make a mistake that we regret? — There’s all those things factored in. And I love the fact that sometimes, talent are like ‘Well, it’s frustrating.’ Great, that means work harder. Get yourself there. Figure it out. Figure out the way. Figure how it gets done. I’ve seen a million talent succeed because of what they do. Not because storyline or creative. ‘They gave them the spot’. 99% of the time in this business, the person gets over then gets the push. That’s how it works. That’s how it’s supposed to work. You go do you then we follow it, because otherwise, most of the time, they will choke on it if it’s not what the fans believe in. Big believer in if you want the spot, go take it. Whenever anybody says ‘I don’t know why I’m not in that spot’…well I don’t know, are you more over than Cody? Roman? Punk? Liv? IYO? The people that are in that spot get there. Make those crowd reactions. Whatever you need to make it happen, that’s what we’re all here to do. I love that mentality because I think it makes people work harder, and if they’re not willing to work to get the spot then you shouldn’t have it anyway.” — via #SummerSlam Post-Show

Stephen A. Smith reveals the #1 business lesson Trump gave him that he has “never forgotten.” “He said, ‘Not just know your worth, but go for it. Go for it all. Always pursue the most.’” “And I said, ‘Explain. What do you mean?’” “And he said, ‘When you go to a bank, and you borrow $3 million, and you can’t pay it back, you’ve got a problem.’” “‘But when you go to a bank, and you borrow $300 million, and you can’t pay it back, WE’VE got a problem.’” “He said, ‘The moral of the story is the MORE you convince someone to invest in you, the MORE they must work diligently to ENSURE your success.’” “‘Don’t come cheap. Make sure you convince folks to make that requisite investment in you because they’ll be committed to you succeeding, because YOUR success means THEIR success, and they have a chance to recoup the investment they made in you.’” “That’s how you do that. That was the advice that he gave, and I never forgot it.” If you found that Trump story insightful, bookmark this post so you never forget it either. Because when the right opportunity shows up, this is exactly what you’ll wish you remembered.

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."

Steve Jobs on what separates the successful founders from unsuccessful ones Steve is asked what the factors of success and common pitfalls are for young entrepreneurs. He responds: “I get asked this a lot, and I have a pretty standard answer. A lot of people come to me and say, ‘I want to be an entrepreneur.’ And I go, ‘Oh, that’s great, what’s your idea?’ And they say they don’t have one yet. And I say I think you should go get a job as a busboy or something until you find something you’re really passionate about, because it’s a lot of work.” Steve continues: “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You pour so much of your life into this thing, and there are such rough moments in time that most people give up. I don’t blame them. It’s really tough, and it consumes your life. I mean, if you’ve got a family and you’re in the early days of a company, I can’t imagine how one could do it. I’m sure it’s been done, but it’s rough because it’s pretty much an 18-hour-a-day job, 7 days a week for a while. So unless you have a lot of passion about this, you’re not going to survive. You’re going to give it up.” He concludes: “You’ve got to have an idea or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you’re passionate about. Otherwise, you’re not going to have the perseverance to stick it through. And I think that’s half the battle right there.”

Steve Jobs on what separates the successful founders from unsuccessful ones Steve is asked what the factors of success and common pitfalls are for young entrepreneurs. He responds: “I get asked this a lot, and I have a pretty standard answer. A lot of people come to me and say, ‘I want to be an entrepreneur.’ And I go, ‘Oh, that’s great, what’s your idea?’ And they say they don’t have one yet. And I say I think you should go get a job as a busboy or something until you find something you’re really passionate about, because it’s a lot of work.” Steve continues: “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You pour so much of your life into this thing, and there are such rough moments in time that most people give up. I don’t blame them. It’s really tough, and it consumes your life. I mean, if you’ve got a family and you’re in the early days of a company, I can’t imagine how one could do it. I’m sure it’s been done, but it’s rough because it’s pretty much an 18-hour-a-day job, 7 days a week for a while. So unless you have a lot of passion about this, you’re not going to survive. You’re going to give it up.” He concludes: “You’ve got to have an idea or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you’re passionate about. Otherwise, you’re not going to have the perseverance to stick it through. And I think that’s half the battle right there.”

Brian Hartline Brian Hartline here: WR Rotation Recruiting WRs Route Running “You can have the ability in the world but if you can’t maximize it you will be passed up.” “There’s nothing more alarming in my opinion- a fast guy that’s doesn’t play fast because there’s a disconnect there.” “If you’re got 6 you don’t have 2.” “If I’m pulling a player off the field, you have to be able to come in and compete at that exact same level level or I’m doing a disservice to the Oline, the RB, QB….” “There’s 500 Wr’s running curl routes where do you stack your curl route up compared to somebody else’s.” “It’s not about that you run the route it’s how you run the route.” “That’s the biggest nemesis of greatness, it’s finding productivity when you don’t have to give it your all because you can find your lull showing up and it will catch you at the worse times.” Eleven Warriors

Garrett Temple says the secret to lasting 16 years in the NBA is being low maintenance “I think it goes back to what we talked about earlier. Just understanding your role. I think it’s more difficult for highly touted guys, or guys that are just very talented, that can do a lot of good things and don’t get that opportunity right away. I think they may not be able to be adaptable.” “The talent level is immense. But the ability to be professional, and that’s general, but that means be on time, have a work ethic, be low maintenance. I think that’s the big thing now.” “Being low maintenance, which means not having anybody have to worry about you, or asking for too many things, or you being a prima donna, or things of that nature.” “Just being somebody that’s under the radar. I call it the ‘What do you need, Coach?’ player. When you can be that guy, and then once you get on the court you produce, especially on the defensive end, offensively you can make shots, miss shots, but if you produce defensively and you cause no problems, you only bring positivity to the team, it’s hard for coaches and GMs to get rid of you. It’s very hard.” “Those are all things you can control. It’s simple, but it’s not easy. Because you get in your head. ‘I was this dude, but you go three games without playing. The dude in front of me not even playing well. What are you doing?’” “The ego is so big in professional sports. You have to have one to get to a certain level, but you literally have to be able to turn it on and off.” “And once your mindset is about winning, the team winning, you can focus on doing whatever the team needs you to do to win. That’s the biggest thing that allows people to stay in the league.”

Qullamaggie on Tough Life of a Successful Trader “Being a consistently successful trader is a tough life, man. You gotta put in so much effort to get to that level. Most people just give up. If you want to be a successful trader, you really need to want it. If you think you’re gonna do this on the side, you know make some money and then go do some photography or art the rest of your life, you’re not gonna make it. It needs to be your calling; otherwise, you can just put your money in the index funds and be better off. You need to be a little bit obsessive like you can’t focus on too many other things. It’s the same way with everything. If you want to be top performer in any field, it’s the same thing - that needs to be your main focus. You can’t do anything else. It needs to be your main focus."

Draymond Green says the NBA needs higher standards and should require every arena to have hot and cold tubs to protect player health and safety “We’re high level athletes. We have routines. You do things to get your body accustomed and ready to go. There’s things that we have at our disposal that help us aid in recovery, aid in activation. On the road, you’re already thrown out of the way you eat, where you sleep, where you are, your familiarity, but you’re completely thrown out of your routine” “Every day, I get in the hot tub to get my body going. The hot tub helps me a lot. If there’s no hot tub, at least you get in the sauna. The Memphis hotel doesn’t have any of those. But guess what, neither does the Memphis arena” “I had nothing to possibly get my body ready. You go to some of these arenas, chairs are old, super low, they’re awful for your hips. You sit there, you sit up, and your hips are hiked up in this bad position. That affects safety. That affects player health. You need to have new chairs. They should be a standard height” “We know these things. That should be a requirement. If we’re talking about putting the best product on the floor, we’re talking about player participation for fans. There’s no reason that there’s not a cold tub and a hot tub in every locker room in the NBA. Because, again, that’s a part of routine” “That’s player recovery. That’s player health. That’s player safety. But we talk all these things about how we want to make the games great, how we want players on the floor. But we have all these little things that affect player safety, that affect player health, that we do nothing about. Why is that?”

Chris Bosh explains how Kobe Bryant taught him that greatness is mostly an unglamorous routine “If you’re trying to go after something, it’s a process and you cannot cheat it. That is one thing you cannot do. You can’t cheat the process, and even then that doesn’t guarantee you anything. You have to have your stuff together because you want to win, that doesn’t guarantee a win. You just have to make sure you’re doing your process.” “I had the chance to have a conversation with Kobe. We were friendly and we tried to have dinner once a year. He always talked about loving the process of what you do. That’s important. You have to love what you do and love putting the work in because some days are going to suck. It’s always going to suck to go in the gym and shoot 10,000 free throws.” “Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, Kobe, this is amazing.’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s cool, but think about my day. I get up at 4:30am, take my kids to school, I lift weights, I go to practice, I pick them up from school, then I’ve got to do treatment because I’m 35 years old in the league. Then I’ve got to do treatment, and by the time I finish all that stuff, the day’s over. I don’t do anything else. This is all I do.’” “If you take on that approach to something that you love, if you can stick with it even in those tough days, that’s where you want to be.” “You gotta love the grind, man. That’s the part I always like to think of anytime something gets hard. If I’m pursuing a goal and I want to quit, it’s going to come. It’s going to come. It’s okay.” “How many people would quit right now? That’s the first thing I think about. Then I keep going. I’m like, okay, I’m not going to let this drop me off and keep me away from what I’m doing.”
