If you put your effort in 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 of 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 in there.

That which gets praised gets repeated.

You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle, brought you by PGC Basketball Thank you, tuning in. You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle broadcast in here in Orlando, Florida, with our friends over as shot tracker at the Junior NBA World Championship. I'm your host, Adam Bradley, alongside T.J. Rosie, today we're going to be talking about are your messages aligned? But before we do, what is new with our friends over a shot tracker

man so much is new uh first of all they lit this place up here in orlando

florida and uh my particular favorite adam is you just joining us is that uh when i've been

looking over this ipad all the stats they they now track advanced analytics with paint touches and ball reversals, number of passes per possession. It's something we've been preaching for years as coaches, but never really had anything to show the players. That's been the most impressive thing for me. So if you get a chance, go check out the advanced analytics page and see some of the cool things they're doing. Yeah, and if you're a longtime listener of the Harwood House,

are you recognizing and they're familiar with the fact we record on site and on location, and as we're recording right now, we are in the gym as the Junior NBA Championships are going on. So if you hear that noise, it's because we're in the action, right? It's happening. But nonetheless, today's- May, let's paint the picture. They've got the mascots out here.

They've got the things that shoot the little shirts out.

They've got the whole nine going on.

Vince Carter is broadcasting over there. He's calling the game for ESPN. I love the little camera. The one that goes on the, what's that called, above the court? Yeah, they just follows the players. Yeah, I love that. I can't believe it never gets in the way.

It never his ball gets hit.

But it's really cool how it is.

Yeah, but they got the whole nine going on here. They did a first-class job. Listen, if you're shooting that high in your arc is that high, you're probably not. Something's wrong with your shot, T.J. I appreciate good art. So, DJ, today we're going to be talking about are your messages align?

Okay, and we're going to pick talking about are your messages aligned, okay?

And we're going to pick me back on a topic that I actually posed the other day on Facebook

that I think is really, really important.
