Sleeper Drew Brees has four second-place MVP finishes, the most in NFL history. When you consider that the MVP vote is almost always a coin flip between the top two candidates, not walking away with at least one is a genuine snub.

Your best player isn’t always the one who scores the most points. It’s the kid who sets screens to get others open, dives on loose balls, and leads with their voice in tough moments. High school basketball rewards selflessness.

The best assistant coaches do three things well: 1. Support the head coach publicly 2. Challenge the head coach privately 3. Serve the players daily Loyalty doesn’t mean silence. It means alignment and trust.

Talent can win you games, but grit wins championships. Effort is non-negotiable. Energy is a mindset. Championship teams aren’t always the most skilled—they’re the ones who refuse to back down when it gets hard.

The best teams aren’t just talented—they’re tough. - Tough enough to handle adversity. - Tough enough to stay disciplined under pressure. - Tough enough to put ego aside for the good of the team.

High school basketball players show their greatness in the little things: - Hustling to dive for loose balls. - Blocking out on every rebound, no matter the size mismatch. - Helping their teammate off the floor after a hard foul.

High school basketball isn’t about grandeur. It’s about diving on the floor for loose balls, boxing out like your life depends on it, and setting HARD screens to free your teammate. The fundamentals separate winners from everyone else.

Marques Colston never got the credit he deserved.
