Tyler Hansbrough says trying to prove his critics wrong eventually made him lose his love for basketball “I put so much pressure on myself to be a good NBA player. I kind of lost a little bit of love for the game. I was playing to, like, prove people...

A terrific story of blocking out the unnecessary and reclaiming the love of the game. So happy and proud of Tyler. This is a perfect metaphor for life, regaining our confidence, peace, and freedom to live authentically. Thanks Josh!

The NBA isn't fun. It's a business. It took one of the most relentless players in CBB and quickly made him lose his love for the sport. They also took a lot of what he did well and told him to do it differently.

Shaquille O'Neal says he chose basketball over football after seeing Jon Koncak's $15 million NBA deal “Football was my thing. Then my father came in the house one day and smacked me in the back of the head with a paper and said, ‘You need to fucking stop playing football and focus on basketball’” “When I opened up the paper, Jon Koncak had just signed $15 million for 3 years. I'm like, ‘First of all, who is Jon Koncak?’ No disrespect to Jon. He was in the NBA. He was a good player, but I was doing the things in high school that he was doing in the pros” “I was like, ‘Shit, if this dude is making $15 million for 3 years, my dream was to make $8 million for 10 years’” “So I started playing basketball, but I used my football pain experience when I was playing basketball. When I turned with the elbows up, I’m trying to knock your teeth out of your mouth” “People always go back to Hack-a-Shaq and say, ‘Oh, well, he got fouled a lot.’ I never felt it. That’s because of my football prowess and my football experience” “I think if I would have stuck with football, I probably would have definitely made tight end. I hate when people look at me and be, ‘Oh, you’d be a good offensive lineman.’ I’m not a lineman. I’m a showman”

Kamu rambles about Jason: "Dude I feel great. I don't take anything personal, he's upset bro, I get it. He had his whole game blown up. Was it his fault? Yeah absolutely. Did I have reason to blow up his game? Yeah absolutely I did. But regardless he got his whole game blown up, he got put up as a replacement nom, he lost the comp, he's upset. I thought it was the right thing on a human level to try to like...For me it's really not personal, so like, he was obviously super emotional and I had questioned that I don't think he wants to hear anything from me at all. So, I questioned maybe I try to shake his hand, but I was like I don't think that's probably the right move, so when he walked by, I just kinda went to put my hand on his shoulder like as kinda like a gesture of like hey man..." *cam switches* #BB28 #BBBitez

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."

Asked Jayson Tatum if it was ever tempting to wait until next season, knowing that he could shake off the rust behind closed doors rather than in public. Thought his answer was super thoughtful: "It was a range of emotions, of things I was dealing with and contemplating and thinking about. Obviously, physically getting cleared by everybody. And, lot of it had to do with where the team was at, and never wanting to take moments in a season for granted, just thinking like, ‘Oh, we’ll be good next year.’ It's like, I've been in the league a long time, I've been fortunate to be on a lot of really good teams. And you never want to take for granted opportunity to be on the team that's contending for a championship. I had never had basketball taken away from me, so I always — I never took the game for granted, but as you can imagine, how much I missed playing basketball. The little kid inside me, that that's all I wanted to do my entire life. So, when I was cleared and got the opportunity, it was a lot of people I talked to to make the decision, knowing that I wasn't going to be perfect when I first came on the floor, but showing my teammates that I was willing to fight through it, and give it my all. And even though I wouldn't be as in-rhythm or in condition at first, I knew it was going to take some time, but I wanted to be out there with him, I was gonna do whatever it took.”

Jeff Teague says he chased the All-Star team for years and the night he made it he stopped caring about basketball and just wanted $100 million "At that time when the All-Star came in, I was averaging 19 and 8, I was trying to get to 20 points a game but we've been beating teams so bad I don't really have to play in the 4th quarter." "I knew I had a good chance of making it. But when I made it, it was on my goals list, I want to be an All-Star." "When I made it, that messed me up, 'cause I ain't care no more. I was like, now I'm just trying to get $100 million. That's all I kept talking about." "I forgot to keep the main thing the main thing, like, enjoying hooping. I was just worrying about getting a new contract, and it messed me up a little bit."

I really, really, really wanted to drop this song last year. When I first put out the snippet, I was so excited - but it was hard to finish it on time because everything was a blur. I was sick and weak and nauseous and tired and my body just wouldn't do what I wanted it to. Even in the snippet video, I wasn't feeling great. I was just trying my best. I adore Chike's voice and I knew it was him that had to be on the song with me. When I asked him to give me a verse, he was so ready to go, but he was out of town. As soon as he came back, he came over to my studio the next day 🥹. I got a lotta respect for him. He didn't know I was pregnant and suffering 😅 Watching this video back now, I can't even understand where the energy came from. When the song was done, I struggled to mix it. Even so, I decided to master it myself. I hate mastering, so I don't know what I thinking. I was so disappointed that I couldn't meet the deadline. Everyone had fallen in love with the song and was asking me to put it out. I didn't have the energy to make content. I don't even remember them recording this video. Given how much I love this song, I'm a little bummed I couldn't give it energy it deserves. But please, know that a lot of love and resilience went into this song. I hope that you can let less be more for this one. I hope you can give it the energy that I couldn't. That I can't. PS: This is a chance for those of you that say I gave up my career for marriage to fight(?) for my uhm...rights? That or stfu.

Paul George says he bought a Ferrari on eBay for $120,000 after signing his first big contract “I just made my deal, and I was still trying to be cheap at the same time. This is how cheap I was though. My ass went on eBay to look up Ferraris” “I bought a Ferrari F430, all black. It was low mileage. The dude was actually a cool. He owned a ton of cars. He had a huge car collection. He was like, ‘I'll sell it to you.’ He was a fan, so I got it for the low” “I loved it because it was that thing that symbolized you made it. For me as a kid, it was a Ferrari. I don't care if I got $100,000 in the bank. If I got a Ferrari in the garage, I'm lit. I made it.” “Ironic enough, every deal that I signed, I went and got a different Ferrari. I think I ended up paying like $120,000. I met him. I introduced him to my financial partner and let them do the transaction”

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Jamal Crawford says a $5,000 dice game loss ended up costing him his Mercedes-Benz as an NBA rookie “I used to shoot dice all the time when I was a kid. Always ditching class, shooting dice. That's what I did” “I was shooting with somebody, I ain't gonna say his name, and he started getting up. What happened was I lost the cash. I was a rookie. I probably had $5,000. I lost that. It happened so fast because we'd play from like 2 to 5” “I lost the cash I had on me and I started betting on somebody else. So I never touched the dice again. I'm basically air betting. I have to bet with whoever was shooting against him because I'm trying to get my $5,000 back from that particular person” “I'm betting with the opposition. So when he hits him, he's hitting me too. It got all the way up. The number got so high and I'm a rookie” “I'm like, ‘I give you my car.’ I had two cars. I rather give you my car then go to the bank and get $100,000” “He's like, ‘All right.’ And that's how I lost the car in the bet, but it wasn't to Jordan”

Former NBA player PJ Tucker says he bought a house just for his sneakers and rarely wears the same pair twice “When I was playing for Houston my house just got too crazy. I had shoes on the dining table. It was ridiculous. My wife was like, ‘We got to figure this out.’ So I got another place and I moved all my shoes” “I wasn't going to get rid of my shoes. That's a part of me. So I decided to get a place and it ended up working out perfect because then I could move shoes from storage and stuff. I had a storage in Phoenix, one in North Carolina, so I could bring it all together” “It's impossible to count. I would wear a pair and never wear them again. I started giving pairs away to kids on teams, kids that wear my size, because there's no way to keep them all” Q: “Do you wear a pair more than once?” PJ: “Depending on the shoe and how much I like it. More times than not, probably not. I like the stiffness of the new shoes. Worn shoes don't feel right”

I started giving pairs away to kids on teams, kids that wear my size, because there's no way to keep them all” Q: “Do you wear a pair more than once?” PJ: “Depending on the shoe and how much I like it. More times than not, probably not. I like the stiffness of the new shoes. Worn shoes don't feel right”

Dennis Rodman says he missed a Bulls game during the 72–10 season because he was shooting dice until 5AM and somehow got away with it "I had such a goddamn good time. I went to a strip club in New York, and then I left the strip club, I went to Atlantic City... I had this trooper I was with, and then I had her ass going on there playing some dice" "And then I was sitting there playing dice all night. And next thing you know, I forgot what time it was. I said, 'Oh sh*t I got a game.' It's 5AM in the goddamn morning. I missed the f*cking game" Mu Real: "What did the team say?" "Nothing, they got so used to me doing stuff like that. They said, Don't worry about it, we'll just fly you on a private plane back to Chicago"

Yaxel Lendeborg is rated 73 overall in NBA 2K27: “I’ve been playing 2K my entire life pretty much. I was playing earlier today. I played point guard pretty much all the time. So just learning different reads through the game is kind of where I learned the flow of basketball. All the moves I used to copy, used to do that too, so it kind of just became like video game practicing for real life in a way. I love passing, so it helps me out with like different reads when people adjust, when people play this type of way.”

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

If you hate KAT, I suggest you reconsider... "I feel like other than losing a child there's nothing worse you could go through and it builds you up and it strengthens you beyond measure. That's why I got Philippians 4:13 and the date tattooed on my neck. I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me but I was strengthened on April 13 when I lost my mother. That's been my favorite Bible verse my whole entire life since I was little. I didn't know the significance it would have in my life when I became an adult. But what I do know is that I truly can do anything when I walk in faith, when I walk with the angels beside me. I feel anything's possible, I feel nothing's impossible... I'm just grateful to be in this position because I know a lot of friends in mind that are not here to see this moment. I know a lot of people I love tremendously that aren't here to give me that hug or to give me that text message. I'm doing this for them. I do this for them, I do it for my mother's country, I do it for everybody in Dominican Republic, I do it for everyone in the city that welcomed my mother when she immigrated over. I do it for all my family in New Jersey that allowed me to be raised and allowed me to love this game of basketball and allowed me to be a kid with my mother and enjoy those times. It takes a tribe to get here and it takes a village and I'm so blessed that I've had the village I've had in my life to get to this point"

Marshawn Lynch says he asked for Russell Wilson's phone number, but Russ called him from a blocked number “I had a situation. We were playing against Tennessee, and their secondary wasn't good. We were supposed to throw the ball for 500 yards or some shit like that. Russ didn't have the game that he wanted. After the game, I did pretty good, 2 tugs, 150 rushing, another 50 receiving” “I reached out to our player personnel dude and was like, ‘Hey man, let me get Russ' number. He said, Alright, I'll call you back.’ He called me back like, ‘Did you get a call?’ I'm like, ‘No.’ He was like, ‘Russ just said he called you.’ I'm like, ‘No, I got a call from a blocked number.’ He was like, ‘Oh, that's him.’ I don't know if he blocked it or how it worked. I just know I got a call from a blocked number” “So when I call back, I'm just like, ‘Hey bro, I'm calling you as a teammate. I'm telling you straight up, I'm calling you on some real shit.’ I think this was the first time that I actually tried to have a conversation with bro. ‘I know you didn't have the game that you wanted to have. That's what I'm here for. We got to be there for each other. I'm here for you. You here for me’” “His response to me was kind of like, ‘What the fuck...’ So I told him again, ‘No bro, I'm letting you know, I'm here for you. We gonna rock, you know what I mean.’ His response was the same. I mean, we on the same team, going for the same goal, and this was how you chose to respond to me”

LeBron James says his daughter is one of the biggest reasons behind his free agency decision “This is the fourth time I’ve been a free agent.” “When I went to Miami, I had my reasons.” “When I went back to Cleveland, I had my reasons.” “When I went to the Lakers, I had my reasons.” “But now, my almost 12-year-old daughter is pulling a lot of weight.” “I pulled her aside and told her, ‘I won’t be playing for the Lakers next year. I’ll be playing somewhere else.’” “I didn’t want her to hear it from anyone else.” “I told her, ‘You don’t have to answer right now. I just want to know how you’re feeling because you mean a lot to me.’” “The family portion is a big thing.” “People keep saying, ‘Hurry up and make a decision.’” “But it’s not just about the team.” “It’s about what’s best for me as a player, as a person, my happiness, and my family.” “The family portion is huge for me.” ( Via Boardroom)

Steve Francis says the culture shock of living in China for 3 months made him realize it was time to retire from basketball “I did go to China. I went for three or four months, and that’s when I knew I had to give basketball up if I had to live like that. Because I just couldn’t take seeing the food you eat every day riding by you, and the people preparing your food. It was different for me” “It was culture shock. Imagine a truck right next to you. You see the pigs, chickens, all that every day. That was hard for me to look at. I didn’t think that money was enough for me to sacrifice. It was definitely difficult. I couldn’t see living over there like that” (via Drink Champs)
