Kevin Durant on Bam scoring 83 “I couldn’t believe it when I was hearing it in real time. Congratulations to Bam I know how much work he puts in. I saw his stats it’s pretty crazy 40 shots, 40 FTs, 20 3s… To pass Kobe as the 2nd biggest scorer in the history of the game, congrats to him, huge accomplishment. Something we’ll talk about forever” (Via @SportsVanessa)

TO STAY HERE: Be committed to academics, doing the right thing, & to the program. TO PLAY HERE: Be committed to hard work, to becoming a smart player, to a team concept & a winning attitude. TO WIN HERE: Believe in the system, yourself, your teammates, & your coaches. ~ Don Meyer

“Just win every day that’s in front of you. Don’t worry about the future, don’t worry about the past, don’t worry about your mistakes. Don’t worry about anything but what you’re doing in that moment. Winning that day, conquering that day and just be where your feet are,”Paige Bueckers

“The greatest competitors attack every single drill like it’s life or death. Winning matters, and every time you’re okay with losing a drill, you become less of a winner” - Lute Olson

Either you have it or you don’t,” Dan Campbell Relentless competitors are not just defined by their desire to win but by their refusal to accept anything less than their best effort every single time.

Are we gonna change and fix it? Probably not.
