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.

So that which gets praised gets repeated.

You're listening to The Hardwood Hustle, brought you by PGC Basketball.

Thank you to tune in in. You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle, brought you by PGC Basketball. Thank you to tune in. You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle. I'm your host, Adam Bradley, alongside T.J. Roseen, broadcasting here from the beautiful Hilton Head Island. Today, we've got a fun episode that's completely different than anything we've ever done before, but I think you're going to enjoy it as a way to kind of get to know T TJ and I a little bit better, but before we do, let's catch it with our friends over ShotTracker. Hey, what gets measured gets done? So what are you measuring in practice? What are you measuring in games? As you approach the season and the upcoming season, check out our friends at ShotTracker and see what they're tracking. It might pop up some ideas for you and thinking about what do I need to be tracking as a coach to steal that extra 1% for my team. TJ, a fun kind of set up here for an episode. We're going to kind of break it into two halves. You're going to take the first half. I'm going to take the second half. But as a way for our audience to get to know us a little bit better, we're going to do a little game, a little exercise called two truths and a lie. And you're going to

share a few stories for yourself, two of which will be truthful. One will be a lie. And we would

love, if you are listening, to send us a tweet at Hardwood underscore hustle we'll send you a direct message back

um you can reach out to tj or myself on this we will send you a direct message and let you know

which of the three was indeed the lie maybe maybe i don't know you may not share it you may not share

i may not just leave people hanging you know well you may be leaving me hang because you haven't

shared it with me yet uh you'll do the first half. I'll do the second half as a fun little way to get to know your Hardwood Hustle host, TJ. What you got, man? Well, when you do 150 episodes a year, you've got to throw an occasional fun one, right? So that's what we're doing right here. I'm excited to learn a little bit more about yeah that's

three different stories um two of them are true uh one of them is not true can i ask questions on

yeah sure okay so um all three of them are um different locations of vacations that have been on

where something interesting happened.

So vacation spots are places that I've lived, one of the three.

So here's the first one.

I'm in Orlando, Florida, playing golf with my dad and my brother.

And as we're playing, a ball comes up right behind us and almost hits us and dad gets pissed um turns around and as they're driving towards us he teased one up on his driver and smacks it right back at him barely misses barely misses um barely misses them.
