An account created to motivate and inspire hoopers to make big dreams a reality!! I am an Unashamed athlete and I'm not afraid to share my God with you. I Play for Him!

Haters will broadcast your failures, but whisper your success.

We made (Harden) a final proposal on Friday morning that was unacceptable. We then came back prior to beginning to execute a trade initiation with another proposal. And we were very transparent with James that if this is not acceptable then we were going to have to move towards making the best decision for the franchise given the fact that it was becoming a reality that more than likely he’d be signing elsewhere at the end of the season. Once that reality was met, as we have in the past, this organization turned the page. We started to focus on what was in the best interest of the program and focus on capitalizing on an opportunity to help us both in the short term and also continue to strengthen the future of the Thunder organization and building this program in a sustainable fashion.

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we’ll miss it but that it is too low and we’ll reach it.

Be what you is and not what you ain’t. Cause if you ain’t what you is…you’ll be what you ain’t.

There is no such thing as being “kind of dedicated.” You either are, or you’re not. There is no in between!

Free Throws…

This is what you dream of winning the game and big shots

The ball in your hands 3 seconds left on the game clock

The shot goes up the opponents face tells it all

They see their season ending with the release of the ball

The shot goes in! We win! They love you!

The fans are insane! Calling your name! They hug you!

“We goin to the ship” cries can be heard aloud.

“Let’s go Huskies” chanting in the crowd…

But no, of course we know this isn’t the case.

They give you the chance but you just fall flat on your face.

“Some leader” they say—when all we needed was one.

Just get one more stop then the game, we’d have won!!

A freethrow—it says it all in the name!

You get a free shot!! The easiest part of the game.

A clank of the rim—the season is done its complete.

And we walk away with that wack feeling of defeat..

to see the look on their face to know I’ve let them down 

it something that hurts so bad and I just have to live with it now…

Dream! Seek! Achieve!

Dream! Seek! Achieve!

Those Days…

You ever get so MAD/ANGRY because the whole week has just gone so bad?! Games, practices, coach is all over you. You don’t do anything right. You can’t buy a basket. Your d SUCKS. Grades are starting to slip and it just seems like the best thing to do is to just THROW. IN. THE. TOWEL. “I quit.”  You ever have those days?? Hooping just to seems to be against you and you start to question it like, “Dude, I love this game. Why is this happening? All I do is work, grind, practice, be dedicated. Why??” And then, finally, practice is amazing. The next game you go for 25/7/7. Get an A on the test. Coach says “Good Job.”  

We all get those days. Can’t quit tho. Gotta find the will within to win. Push through. Persevere. Attack the wall then bust through it!! Do not give up when you are down.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid.”
