ESPN loves memorializing the cheaters. Lance Armstrong 30 for 30 followed by Sosa and McGwire 30 for 30 tonight. Ken Griffey Jr. hit 56 home runs that same season, and wasn't on the roids! Won a gold glove too. He needs a 30 for 30. All time great

JuJu Watkins committed to USC when they were 12-16. Her mom would ask Lindsay Gottlieb if she was recruiting certain top prospects JuJu met at USA Basketball, and Gottlieb said those kids wouldn't even call her back. JuJu wanted all the smoke. No super team! Respect

NBA scouts finding Pippen at an NAIA school in Arkansas. No internet. No Synergy. But today you got guys who score 8 PPG at a D1 thinking they gotta go transfer up to be "seen"

Lincoln Memorial’s Elyjah Freeman has quickly established himself as the most intriguing prospect at the Division II level. The late-blooming 18-year-old freshman wing is averaging 18.6 PTS, 8.7 REB, 2.1 AST, 1.4 STL on blistering efficiency w/ very high-end athletic flashes.

Woj scouring grainy BallerTV film to find this sleeper special; guy was living out of his car at one point just playing at 24 Hour Fitness all day. Crazy

An incredible story of overcoming adversity, the love of basketball, and @wojespn's recruitment from 3k miles away. Meet Joe Grahovac, the 6’10” power forward who never played organized basketball until last year and is now the newest commit at St. Bonaventure.

Hard to believe but i think the casual CBB fan may not know as much about Ace Bailey as you'd think, since he picked RU early; plays at his local public HS and he isn't pushed by the sneaker companies since he played for independent AAU team. My kind of player!

Potential No. 1 pick Ace Bailey put on a ridiculous show for Rutgers fans at his future college arena in the Battle of New Jersey. 40 points, 21 rebounds, 3 assists and a bunch of great defensive plays in McEachern's blowout win over Camden.

“The amount of money that Caitlin Clark has made the league is insane, and she’s getting 0% of it because we have no rev share,” Collier says. “She gets less than $80,000 a year, and she’s bringing in, like, hundreds of millions of dollars. It’s insane. -Napheesa Collier

Clemson WBB's Amari Robinson ... impressive player but ESPN broadcast just shared how she is also student teaching. Look at this schedule. You think HS kids aware of this grind? 6 AM practice... crazy

"She's like 24, playing against what, sometimes 18-year-olds?" the GM said. "That's a humongous gap. She's older than some W players So it's hard to tell, 'Are you that good, or are you just dominating people that are ... 4 & 5 years younger than you?"

Luka Garza, the grind is real. Even when not playing "The person who shot the most shots in practice, and after practice, in all of the NBA was Luka Garza ... So here’s a guy in Minneapolis who’s not getting any time, & is practicing 3 or 4 times more than any other player.”

NEW FEATURE: Luka Garza – who grew up a Celtics fan – got up 12,000 more practice shots than any player in the NBA last year. His father, Frank, preached patience: “I just had to believe someone was paying attention. And of course it was Brad Stevens.” celticsblog.com/articles/12451…

There was way less parity back then. I don't get why winning titles at UConn or Tennessee back when there was little parity is more impressive than taking a team with 0 other HS All Americans to heights they've never seen, in an era with a lot more parity.
