JK but see 5:09

"The message for these kids is simple, doubt kills more dreams than failure."

I learned many skills from that 9 minute video, chiefly to laugh while getting out energied by everyone on the court.

I had forgotten what it's like, a 10-year-old running down the rebound every single time while you catch your breath. Then bashing into your groin to drive to the basket. Good thing my son was never 10.

I think Wesley needs to relax a little. He seemed more intent on blocking the kids' shots and making himself look good than letting them shine.

^Really? This is about Wes going back to the community he grew up in and giving back.......and THAT'S what you got from it?

No, it's about Wes playing token defense on a kid, Shooter over analyzing it, and then you overreacting to Shooters over analysis, or something.

How egregious!

I agree with Shooter. Matthews kept using his height to kill plays. In every other way, those serious, determined boys and girls outplayed him. (They're not average kids. They played like AAUers.)
