Social Media Rumors
Mike James: Just because your dream is to play in the NBA doesn’t mean you’re better than players in EuroLeague or ACB. Getting cooked by a non EuroLeague team after talking like that is hilarious
Sam Dekker: Good ole fashioned ass-whooping. Overseas hoops a different animal my guy. There’s a reason G-League is all 18-22 year-olds. It’s not good hoop and it’s all kids.

There’s always controversy being stirred up on social media. That’s why it doesn’t really serve me to hype everything up. It’s just, you gotta do the work. And that’s how our organization operates. We do the work. We worry about what we can control and let the work speak for itself.

Facundo Campazzo: “Social media is what consumes you the most mentally. It’s the constant need to check, to see what people are saying, to feel validated or criticized. It’s draining, and it can affect your performance on the court. I’ve learned to manage it better, but it’s still a challenge because it’s everywhere, all the time.”
