Reposting this from the 2022 playoffs, when I talked with Rick Brunson about the summer he spent training Chris Paul.
Jalen was about to take off. Similarities are easy to see.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support during these past few days. Your kindness has meant so much to my family and me.
This week, we’re honoring my father’s 72nd birthday by keeping his legacy going through his passion for journalism.
In his memory, our family has started the Larry Fitzgerald Scholarship Fund with the National Association of Black Journalists to support the next generation of journalists.

“On a June night Manhattan will tell stories about for decades, with the Knicks dangling between misery and miracle, salvation arrived in unremarkable form. Not genius. Not artistry. Just hustle.”

One of the most memorable moments in NBA history occurred last night.
One of the best sportswriters to ever capture big moments was there to write about it.
Always read @thompsonscribe.

NEW story on Wemby, The Artist:
NEW YORK — What appears on Victor Wembanyama’s sketch pad is more than just a statue. It’s a manifestation of a body of work. A lifetime journey to get to this statue.
Drawing is his brain’s active recovery. He found peace in the bronze face of Edwin Booth’s statue, a reminder of how the world is always watching and always will be with every shot he takes. Booth’s brother, John Wilkes, is known for a different kind of shot. Legacies, good or bad, live on forever.
This is a story of honing the mind by letting it breathe, and the power that comes with peace in a time where the future is now.

The Brendan Sorsby court ruling is unlike any NCAA loss before it.
This one is unconscionable.
Shame on Texas Tech for supporting it.

Jalen Brunson thrives under pressure in a way few ever have.
Because of that, and my very recent 12-round bout with anxiety, I wanted to learn more about his relationship with pressure so I can continue to better understand myself.

Thoughts are with Larry Jr. and the whole Fitzgerald family. Big Fitz was in San Francisco to see his son be voted into the Hall of Fame in February.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our father, Larry Fitzgerald Sr. A devoted father, husband, grandfather, and a true pioneer in the Minnesota broadcasting community, he spent his life pouring into the people and the city he loved so much.
He left us peacefully this afternoon, surrounded by his family and the people who loved him most.
We are so grateful for the incredible care and kindness shown by the team at the University of Minnesota Fairview Southdale Hospital during this time.
We ask that you keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate these first difficult days.
With love,
The Fitzgerald Family

Bob Horner and Jerry Maddox were Arizona State products. Both All-Americans. Both third basemen.
Maddox was a rookie w/ the Braves when Horner made his straight-from-college MLB debut. His life changed. Horner’s did too.

Can Gardner Minshew save the Cardinals, at least for this season?
It might be their best hope. ⤵️

ALT Bob Horner: 1957 - 2026
ALT Bob Horner built a career out of being first. He was the first overall pick in the 1978 draft after an illustrious collegiate career. He was the first Braves draftee to skip the minor leagues entirely and debut directly in the majors. And he was the first Atlanta player to ever hit four home runs in a single game when he did so against the Montreal Expos in 1986. The National League Rookie of the Year in 1978 and an NL All-Star in 1982, Horner teamed with Dale Murphy to form one of the most feared power duos in the game for nearly a decade. The Atlanta Braves extend sincere sympathies to his wife, Chris, two sons, Tyler and Trent, and his numerous friends and fans across the game.

ICYMI from the weekend: Corbin Carroll is a triple machine.
I asked league leaders from the past (George Brett, Lance Johnson, Brett Butler and others) what makes this play, and Carroll, so special.
It starts with mentality.
