If you put your effort and concentration and to play into your potential to be the best that you can be,

I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book, we're going to be winners.

The talent for so many players today, the talent and the spotlight, it's taking them to heights that their character's not strong enough to support.

I'm one of those set goals achievements.

I talked about faith, passion, obviously the drive with the guys that I've been around

and the guys that surround me every single day.

If I want to be one of the best, I've got to play with and against the best.

Okay, so that which gets praised gets repeated.

Thank you, too. And then you're listening to the Hardwood Hustle, brought to you by PGC Basketball. Thank you, tuning in. You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle broadcasting here at Emanuel College. I'm your host Adam Bradley alongside T.J. Roseen. Today we've got a fun shoot-around episode. The first half, we're going to cover this increase in NBA ejections that we're seeing early in the season. And then secondly, we're going to go where so many have gone before, we are going to talk about the ball family. But we haven't shared much of our

perspective, but some of the latest news and happenings around that family. Let's start with

the ejections here. You know, you think about it. If you've been watching the NBA early in the season,

LeBron experienced his first ejection.

KD. has been ejected on multiple occasions.

Obviously, the common culprits of DeMarcus Cousin and those folks are still doing their numbers as they normally do.

But there's a huge increase of ejection, especially ejections of star powers.

Anthony Davis recently got ejected at the time of this recording

what is going on with this now I have a theory you know and I think it's a good thing for the league

I believe TJ that I feel like there's a lot more passion a lot more fire being put into this regular season than I've seen in years past.

Really?

I really do.

I feel like there's a lot more, you know, like players are really getting after it.
