Back when I was playing in Phoenix, we’d find families who couldn’t afford much for Christmas and take the kids to Toys R Us. Seeing the smiles and hearing everybody say thank you was the biggest gift I could’ve gotten out of it. I think about those trips every year around this time. I hope everyone finds a way to give what they can, when they can.

Noah, congrats on your state championship win. @HockadayAth

When I’m working out, I usually have hip hop on. Bay Area guys like Tupac, E-40, Too Short. Then Drake and Jay-Z. The other day my daughter and I were driving back from volleyball with Tupac on. She goes, I’m vibing, let’s keep driving around. And my kids have me listening to stuff I never would’ve found on my own. Zara Larsson. KATSEYE, which my little one got me into after we watched a show about how they put the group together. Music’s a pretty good way to stay connected with your kids.

I like being the underdog. I like being counted out. When I came into the league, I couldn’t shoot, and people let me know it. I think that’s part of what pushed me. If you count me out, I’m only going to work harder, and I’ll be ready when the moment comes.

I was out at Nike recently talking to their employees. One of the things I told them is you’ve got to have fun. I think if you’re having fun, good things happen.

Thank you @CalFootball and GM @RonRivera80 for the invite to today’s game against SMU. Great to meet Chancellor Rich Lyons as well. Love the direction the school is headed in!

The Crewe Cup crew was in the building in Provo! What a game between @BYUfootball and @NDFootball! Great to see Mike Bennett, Ryan Smith, Josh Jergensen, Will Hardy and Brian Santiago! Thank you to Brett Yormark and the @Big12Conference for the trip and invite, to see what might have been the game of the year in such a beautiful scenic environment.

Great day in Denton, Texas this weekend with @JKselectBSB and @AreaCodeAgency. Thank you to all the @MLB players from the @MLBPAA for coming out and giving back to the next generation of the game! ⚾️

Excited to join @ESPN for the 2026–27 season! Looking forward to working with some amazing colleagues and legends of the game, and providing my perspective in the studio for @ESPNNBA Countdown!

Thank you to Kelsey Bannister and @LegendsGlobal_ for outfitting me with some brand new @Athletics threads with the Vegas patch. Countdown to 2028 is on!

Big thank you to @MannyPacquiao for his hospitality during this trip to the Philippines! It’s always great to talk to one of the greats in any sport and Manny is an icon!

Incredible opportunity to grow our game with @nba and @nikebasketball events this week across the Philippines!

Thank you @GameFaceWipes for keeping the family fresh!

Thank you @Athletics for this 1/1 gift!

We lost one of the legends of the game today. Don Nelson was a great player, a coaching genius and a great person. He will truly be missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him and being impacted by his one-of-a-kind wisdom. May he rest in peace.
