So after
@NicolasHenkel
was done with
@MotorCityCruise
tryouts we talked about a few ideas up my sleeve for
@PistonsGT
and I’ll just say he asked me to pinch him because this whole day for him has got to be a dream 😂
I don’t care if people talk shit about me. I was taught to flush shit down the toilet, not to play with it. Some people will judge you for changing. Others will celebrate you for growing.

You got to love the struggle just as much as you love the reward. So many people want the peak, but hate climbing. See that's the problem... People want to grow, but don't want to go through the growing pains. Success comes with struggle.

Always keep your mindset on being better no matter what others say. Only a select few will congratulate your progress/success. But almost everyone will talk about your mistakes/failures.

My family good. My bills paid. I’m healthy. No drama. I’m grateful. I’m thankful so I can say I’m still blessed. I feel like some things should have went differently but it most not be my time yet.
At home, riding in a sprinter on vaca, in the office, waiting on a flight, at the studio and even 40 thousand feet in the air I’m studying. Learning and paying attention to all the little details most people don’t think matter. But those are the things that can change the game!
I’ve met a CEO that drives a Honda and refuses to buy an expensive car because of the attention that comes with it. I know a janitor that has a Mercedes in order to get attention. Don’t let possessions fool you. Learn what really matters.

Thank you to all the teams that participated in
@PistonsGT
5v5 Road To Pro tournament today. A lot of good games went all the way down to the last seconds. Can’t wait to see the talent in our 3v3 tournament next weekend (10/29).
Don’t use your energy worrying, doubting yourself etc…. Use your energy to believe, create, trust, grow, heal, manifest etc…… There’s always something good you can do with your valuable time instead of wasting it!

😢 Can’t believe Kobe is really gone, all the knowledge and laughs we had together before his retirement can’t even explain the impact he had in my life. Whenever we saw each other it was always wise words and smiles. Already missed, HOF first ballet!!!
So as most of you know I’ve been working for the Pistons organization for some time now and I know some people have been waiting for my position to open up on our piston side and on our esports side especially with how the last 2 seasons have been. That opportunity to do so has..
You gotta fight bad moods like your life depends on it, because it does. You are not at your best when your energy/vibes are messed up. You are strong enough to face it all, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

Family is not only those who share your bloodline but people who come into your life and show you that they care about you as if you did. My
@PistonsGT
family from this past season told me “Coach if we win something we gonna do something for you
There are some things in life you can only learn in a storm. Also not all storms come to mess up your life, some come to clear a path for you to have a better life.
Somebody didn't wake up today, but you did. That's enough of a reason to stop complaining, and that's enough to be thankful for. Never let your troubles blind you of your daily blessings.
Wanna say good luck to
@LakersGaming

@Mootyy2K
making his season 3 debut tonight, I know you guys are excited to play us because of the history. We’ve had some good times
@iiNsaniTTy
but don’t plan on it tonight.
Not yet become available. I love what I do and struggling does not mean your failing. Success requires some kind of struggle to get there. I’m dedicated to my positions and will continue to work hard everyday to accomplish the goals I have for them. I Appreciate all the love tho.
Sonday debates with Leo are my favorite. Today’s discussion is why he needs a new toy. He’s one of the reason I work so hard everyday. 😂

When you don’t move like everyone else it bothers people and IDGAF! I only care about being the original I am and not a copy and paste of someone else 🤷🏾♂️
Dear God, help us release our anxieties to You, knowing You care for us deeply. Replace our worries with Your peace and fill our hearts with trust in Your constant care. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
If you continuously compete with
others, you become bitter. But if you
continuously compete with yourself,
you become better. Life is about becoming a better version of yourself everyday.

2K Tuesday. Come vibe with me and

. We might play good ball, we might not but the convos will be 🔥 either way🤣🤷🏾♂️.
If anyone has ever said watching a toddler and or newborn is easy as long as you you know the basics, they are a liar and don’t believe anything they ever tell you!!! My patience has been truly tested today. 😡😤🤬🤯🤣

@ScottColeShow
🤔 I didn’t think so. 3 more days until the squad and I join the action.
I keep being asked what I think about everything going on and I keep saying the same thing. God created our skin tones with beautiful variety, but all of our souls are the same color so at the end of the day we should all be treated as EQUALS PERIOD!
The problem is not the problem. Your attitude towards the problem determines if it’s even a problem at all. The whole game of success depends on how you think. Your mindset matters!

There’s a different between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results!

I will remain focused on my goals. Even when I have a moment of difficulty, I will not give up. I know success comes with consistency. I know that I will make it. Things will get better. No problem or challenge will stop me. Everything I deserve is coming my way in due time.
