Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire teammates. Not one day he didn’t own all three.
A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life. Congratulations to Coach Pop on your will to win and your passion to teach and your concern that we always knew basketball and its place along the way.

Watching Manu score 10 of his 16 in the 4th vs GSW last spring his final home game of his career. A Spurs win, no Pop-all heart, no excuses, no giving up and how he will forever be remembered
And to the
@spurs
organization-there aren’t words there is only what has already been shared. It is family and it is community and it is knowing that there is a life bigger than basketball. There is no place like SA and you helped raise three men, I am forever grateful
Humbled and excited to be a part of the
@Suns
organization and appreciate so many that have a part in this step in a basketball journey that has not chapters but volumes to be written. Looking forward to the journey w/some incredible minds but moreover some incredible players

What a team effort and great run to get it done to return to the NCAA tourney. Congrats to

and his staff and the Beaver players that stayed together and get a chance to dance. Pac 12 champs, amazing

Some people like flashy titles and names. They like galas and openings more than practice or games. There are princes and kings, but I reserve most, the gratitude and respect for the one I call Coach. Thanks you Jimmy for believing in me…
The Oregon State Men's Basketball Family mourns the loss of Jimmy Anderson 🖤🧡
Jimmy was part of the Beaver family for over 65 years as a player, a coach and an informal ambassador for the program. He will be greatly missed.
Arrived in Mexico City for an incredible couple of days with

@spurs
playing games here this weekend...only issue?flight was a little delayed because they had to de-Ice....
The math is getting fuzzy...12th(?) to Sweet 16 cut in half and down to an Elite 8...good thing OSU is a world class engineering school. Now let the Beavers engineer one more to get a 4 in the mix...
🔥🔥🔥
@Barryathree
is the only player in
@NBA
history to lead the league in two-point percentage (58.8% in 2001-02) and in three-point percentage (47.6% in 2000-01).
Impressive year and absolutely one of the most complete players to ever suit up in the orange and black. I can’t be as proud as his Dad is of him but I’ll take my coat off in salute of a brilliant collegiate career and remarkable member of the student body of the university.
Sent from a friend but this AM in San Antonio this is the Ukrainian cheesecake and coffee place Laika Cheesecakes on Broadway-giving all the proceeds to Ukrainian humanitarian organizations this weekend. The line’s around the block. It's the little things...
The guy in the middle has always been a good host...epic weekend ahead for NBA basketball fans and one of my childhood heroes welcoming it all to his city will make it very special indeed. Thanks MJ
This is truly one if THE finest moments in this leagues history for the legendary

Go Beavs!
When I go to a comedian’s show I am more than sure I could take some good natured ribbing but if comedian comes to an all star game to host, it would be best to respect the work, the why and the what an all star player has put in to achieving the right to be on that stage
Humbled by this gesture from Coach Tinkle and the
@BeaverMBB
, looking forward to the season and seeing the hard work from the guys pay off on the court.
The power of coaching is this - you are expected to give people the path to find answers, not the answers. Anne Donovan paved many roads in Seattle and beyond and will be dearly missed. For all her contributions and time and commitment beyond herself, we are grateful to Anne.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of former Storm head coach Anne Donovan. She will be truly missed, and we extend our most sincere condolences to the Donovan family.
Weird that refs don’t call a foul late in the game like that when it clearly is a bump and contact on the shot to give your team 3 FT and a chance to tie a critical game right

So this morning has started off better than most. Just can’t believe that this is what I have the privilege to do. This league is the best band of brothers you could ever imagine
Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success. And happy to have enjoyed yours as a man, a father, a role model. Proud of you and love you man-congrats on this part of your journey
“I started in cold gyms in small towns in Iowa and ended up playing more than 1,000 games in the best league in the world ... But it’s time to go.” After 15 years, Nick Collison is retiring from the NBA:
He who is of a rare sort
Whose eyes drift toward the heavens,
Who harbors a nature considered unsuitable for this world,
Will see the emptiness of society,
And the shallowness of the ways of men.
So that he may make wise use of this one life
And die not an ignorant death

An all time great accomplishment...congrats to

and any other spot up shooter that has been fortunate enough to to suit up with you.
Well deserved
@TheSteinLine
, as one of the easiest members of the press to be around; fair, to the point and thoughtful with how he has represented the game through his work as a storyteller, a news breaker and a confidant to the NBA. Congrats Steiny
Drove my grandma’s Chevy Cavalier to St. Mary’s college in August of 1992 to play open gym with Mully, Hardaway, Billy Owens...ended up guarding Rooney and iced my body down at OSU till October. Strong player, stronger character and person. Happy bday to my Lithuanian friend
..that life was for living and to not ever find joy in what you choose. It's part of time but hope the recognition of him as a player gets it's due in the celebration of his life-moreover-as the center of attention-he brought triumph to living-With that Here Comes the Sunshine
Good people are like candles; they burn themselves up to give others light. In that sometimes dark and wet Seattle community Jim Marsh shone brightest. Blessed to have spent time with this man and his model of goodness;...
We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

The NBA brotherhood is brave and strong and committed and never more proud of any association with this game than what I feel tonight in the actions of our players
If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.

@RexChapman
and his ability to continue to impact lives without a ball but it takes them to get where he is and no stopping where it is he is going-and glad he is a friend
For some 14-years I couldn’t go an hour without a painkiller/opioid.
7-years ago today I entered rehab for the third time. Clean since.
Thankful. Grateful.
Still can't believe the support over the course of less than a week...we are almost funded!!! Please take a look and your support means a ton...

Clearly to who? Position, speed, angle for refs key in that determination. Clear once you see replay but let us not take all things into account regarding referee on court judgement on the play.
@MattBonner_SAS
How is Dave not at the press conference Matt? So glad you have made this official in a way only you would make this official...
#wishgranited
...his love for the game and kids impacted lives, tonight I light a candle for him and his family. The PNW and the game owes much to Jim Marsh and his efforts on and off the floor. And in time he will be having clinics in heaven. Thanks Coach
Took a few charges on Shaq, when I woke up the next day I sure wish he would have been wearing those slippers-it would have made the overall experience much more worth it
@RexChapman
...in his life. The NBA TV and Turner family will miss him greatly, the NBA writing community already know that he is working on a story somewhere courtside in heaven. And I will miss my passionate friend. Thankful for him and prayers to the Smith family.
