Very well spoken young man. Lead with grace and humility and have bigger goals behind closed doors and fair reachable goals that you share with everyone else. Looking forward to him leading the charge this year.
Very impressive. The shoutout to Jesse and Joe was pure class. Awesome article. Hard not to be very excited after reading that.

Last year he really seemed to enjoy crashing to the ground after he scored a bucket. Let us hope that he will have some more wisdom about that, so he doesn’t break his neck.

All the kids are imitating Steph Curry.

I believe that was all a function of him going to the basket fearlessly and then contorting his body to get shots off. The result was an off balance landing. It was smart to let his feet touch and then soften the blow with a slide. At least, that's how I remember most of those landings.

Yeah, some of it was this. But over the past few years so many kids have taken to automatically going to the floor with pretty much any contested shot/finish. Whether that's the influence of Curry/others, it's definitely become a fairly widespread thing in youth and college hoops
