Brandon Bailey

Paul Reed talking about his energy being the X-factor and why he’s able to put himself in good spots. Ron Holland agreed with the personal assessment. “My thing is, you ain’t gotta pass me the ball all the time, I’ll go get the offensive rebound or something.”

The 2025-26 NBA Basketball Executive of the Year is... Brad Stevens! The Celtics finished the regular season as the East #2 seed, capturing their 5th straight 50+ win season.

Connected. Tough. Relentless on defense. 😤

Elite defensive effort. 🔵 Lowest field goal percentage allowed since 2000. 🔵 Fewest first-half points EVER allowed at Wintrust Arena. 🔵 Lowest field goal percentage and fewest field goals allowed by a Holtmann-led team. 🔵 Lowest field goal percentage allowed by a BIG EAST team since 2012.

Banner raising ceremony for the 2025 IHSA 3A Third Place Finishers. First team to place in the state in St Patrick long history. Head Coach Mike Bailey and his wife Carol do the honors. Coach Bailey begins his 33rd season as the Shamrocks head coach.

Mark Daigneault on his defensive philosophy: “The players are too talented and the teams are too good to let them kinda have their way and let them dictate where they go on the floor… What does the opponent want the game to look like and how can we disrupt that.”

"Obviously we're happy we won, but we can't keeping doing this. It's not sustainable. We have to be better." Nikola Vucevic kept it real with @KCJHoop after the Bulls' 121-120 win over the Wizards 💯

Vooch called Bulls soft in walk-off. Afterward: “We just didn’t play up to NBA standards.” Addressed the team postgame and said “I don’t think we understand that it’s just not sustainable to play this way.” What’s most upsetting? “It’s things that we can really control.”

Mike Conley on how he is able to play 3 games in 4 days, being a dad to three young kids, and going to his kids basketball games on his off day. “I don’t know, I am a zombie half the time(laughing)… you never really get any sleep, which i try not to think about so thank you(laughs)… you either want to do this thing or you don’t and I want to be both, I want to be a dad, I want to be an NBA player, and you figure out how to do it”
