In addition to telling you what’s coming up here (and it’s fascinating), @AndrewMarchand smartly links this move back to ESPN’s original mega-deal with the NFL back in ‘87 that totally altered the trajectory of the network to what it became.

Great behind-the-scenes access with @sm23itty Jordan Smith Jr and @_Purposeislife_ Coach Jamill Jones. I have watched Smitty play for TTO since he was in 4th grade - as good as any player ever to put on the uniform. And a 99.99th percentile competitor in basketball, all levels.

The great @John_Fanta doing play-by-play for a national audience about @Jadah_Wash, a player I have coached since 3rd grade and seen be THE ideal Point Guard ever since, in the 15u title game at Peach Jam, was absolutely incredible. Proud of him, his teammates and the coaches.

So excited for @CarterMeadows_ - Michigan is getting an exceptional person, in addition to an awesome student-athlete! Congrats to Carter, his family, @GonzagaSports, @TTOBasketball and Bethesda’s Pyle Middle School Basketball Alumni Association.

So cool to reach a calendar milestone today when so many of my former players, Jonah teammates or players I/he had the privilege to coach/play against are getting calls directly from college coaches with offers and opportunities. Many more to come for CP (and all of them!)

ESPN/ABC may have to produce Game 2 of the NBA Finals remotely because of a tornado warning in OKC. Mike Breen & company will still be commenting from court side but the production trucks outside the arena may not be available. ESPN would control the pictures and productions…

I knew there was a reason I was such a big fan of Coach @JoshSchertzSLU

Exciting news for my former player @JordanTaylor09_ Great addition to an already excellent @SJCBoysHoops program (and reunion with old aau teammates @thejyminveney, @KJLittle_2, Kareem Smith-Bey @ree1m__ ) Huge month ahead for Jordan: HS Live showcase, then EYBL 16s Peach Jam

Thunder-Pacers pits two small markets in the NBA Finals. Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams are being called the four horsemen of the TV ratings apocalypse. But how will this series actually impact the NBA's money? nytimes.com/athletic/63962…
