Basket-awwwww

thats sweet. that story from mike brown and his kids got me.

yeah that was lovely

Pop and penguins
Chicago Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan played three seasons in San Antonio, but he won't forget one film session when he and the Spurs got a life lesson Nat Geo-style.

"I remember Pop made us watch a penguin National Geographic movie. It was very interesting. It was basically learning about teamwork. How to come together as one and go after a common goal, whatever that goal was. I thought it was going to be a day where we watch film. But we watched a full penguin movie -- and it was the most interesting s---.

"How they migrate. How the males watch the eggs while the female goes out for X amount of months to go collect food. How they walk 60 miles to the water and 60 miles back while the males watch -- it was the most craziest s---. But everybody basically playing their role. But to look at it from the perspective of penguins, that's some Pop s---." -- Jamal Collier

Jason Kidd could have had several rings with the Spurs

he sounds really regretful in that story

v glad he never came here, fuck jason kidd

it feels telling that kidd never had any coaching experience (or even rumors of?) in SA

he's got "character" issues

lol he got handed a head coaching job right out of retirement

the famous PG-to-head coach pipeline (see: derek fisher, steve nash, doc rivers, magic johnson, etc.)

i looked up lenny wilkens on this too, had no idea he was a player-coach for like 4 years?? no wonder he had so many games as a coach

Jarrett Allen has the collector’s edition of every Calvin and Hobbes comic and used to have a mural of the characters on his wall. The comic has shaped the Cleveland Cavaliers center’s outlook on life in more ways than one.

“I love just going through life, just seeing things and learning about it, no matter what it is,” Allen told The Athletic. “Just try to go out there and try to touch it in some way and try to just enjoy it.”

He's also a big Zelda dork.
