What an honor to be apart of such an organization. I’ve been hired to handle the PLAYER DEVELOPMENT for @seattlestorm TRAINING CAMP
Anyone that knows me knows I admire the WOMENS GAME. I’m excited that I can lend help to such great organization, coaching staff, and players!!

Please pray for my fam!
He’s now on life support due to covid. Has 3 beautiful kids and wife.
God please display your omnipotent power and grace during these times. Please uplift him from his illness into recovery. I place all our fears and burden upon you.
Amen

This is a tough tweet, I’m always pro player. But man.... the game of basketball is being disrespected on many levels. The fans that support these guys are being disrespected. The teammates that are in the gym working to be great supporting cast are being disrespected.

📍 Our team have been working with EM ( @evanmobley ) on pick ups to pockets and off the catch/shoot action… We use KD ( @KDTrey5 ) as a study sample based on same length / levers into his shot.

High school season is unwinding. And most aau directors will want to shoot me but take time recoup and rebuild from a long season. Nothing wrong with a little downtime and some active recovery. I hear kids already hooping in games and events.
Just my 2cents

I’m so pleased with Jimmys performance tonight. Main reason.....
No 3s on his 40pt triple double.
I’ve had talks with some of my Nba clients Regarding this matter. All I hear is that coaches want the 3s.. man get to that middie!

Crazy how young athletes say they want to be good but when given SIMPLE tasks to benefit their growth - it’s met with a million questions and doubts.
MR Miyagi had Daniel Wax on and Wax off for days!!!
Until he figured it out
Stop skipping steps
Shut up

It’s crazy how WE dog each other as trainers.
other trainers support each other — retweet, like, compliments, collab, etc..
We get mad when the players go elsewhere..
Its crazy.

I’ve been saying Lamelo reminds me a lot of Magic - not comparing stats.
His energy and zeal he plays with has permeated the entire Hornets organization.
Can’t recall another pg who ignited a team like this ala Magic in a long time

Totally believe the multi-faceted talents of SD8 and Caris will serve Nets/Kyrie well.
SD8 is so dynamic, can play multiple positions defensively/offensively that it will make Nets that much more potent and versatile.

Giving Flowers is the hardest thing for the Black Community to do. 2022 still self sabotage as opposed to unification.

Did Coach Cal just say at his halftime press “.... guys need to get in the gym at night and get extra shots” ?
Yet I know some players claim they want D1 look etc, yet come up with extra excuses to not get reps in season..

It’s not the players fault.
Pure PG just isn’t celebrated anymore from coaches to media outlets.
Most are concerned with what’s easily seen and not subtle intricacies that effect the game..
PG is near extinction. Just not many pure PGs anymore in HS, NCAA or NBA. When you see 1, it’s almost shocking. PGs now want to shoot 10+ FG & ok with 1-3 asst. NCAA coaches now asking for “scoring PGs”. Not many picking up 94ft, leading, making others better, etc. #SOCIAL🎥📷ERA

I realize its club season. Remember the end goal is to get better each off season
Many players that haven’t even scratched varsity yet will spend their entire off season going from tourney to tourney each weekend. Getting 30-50reps all weekend v going to the gym 400-500 daily
