To better understand the community they play for, every Oklahoma City Thunder player visits the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum dedicated to those affected by the April 19, 1995 bombing.
📺 Watch E60's "The Oklahoma Standard" April 26 at 11 AM ET on ESPN and the ESPN App.

The last shot of the broadcast was perfect.
Kevin Durant, on the bench with six fouls, watches the potential game winner fly over the hoop. All while knowing that his foul against OKC’s forever favorite (a title that was once his to lose) gave the Thunder the lead.
Sports, man.

First @Carson_Jones18 gets the start and now @LUKEGRAY20244 gets a start. Incredible job by those two young men to start as freshmen in college. That’s much harder to do in the portal era.

Incredibly happy for my guy @Carson_Jones18 on scoring his first collegiate points tonight! Many more to come!
Keep your butt in the gym and do what you do, Carson! You’re one of the best to put “Saints” across your chest and you’re making us proud.

Hoping for better opportunities, Junior Nsengiyumva arrived in Oklahoma at 14 with an interest in basketball. Under the mentorship of his host dad, who became his basketball coach, the two went on to win a state championship together. news9.com/story/6635017c2f0a…

I have been guilty of coaching like this. As an AD I see more and more of this each year. With the cost of youth sports rising and the amount of time that is required, we have to ask ourselves, “What is the purpose of sports?”
Many would answer to build character through adversity and success. However, the importance of winning is what is communicated.
Patience, unselfishness, humility, and perspective are what is needed. How do we respond WHEN something bad or even unfair happens? It’s not a matter of IF. Again, I’m just as guilty of it as anyone. It starts with us parents and coaches. It’s not the kids and it definitely isn’t the officials.
Story on the latest sign of youth sports culture:
Our 10U baseball team played a game yesterday. Opposing parents chirping at our 3rd base coach. Opposing parents yelling at umpires after calls that don’t go their way, adding “it’s us vs the umps!”
Opposing player gets plunked with a baseball in the back while stealing second, is on the ground in obvious pain, and his own coaches/parents are screaming at him to get up and toughen up. Nobody went out to check on him.
Opposing tough-guy coaches arguing calls non-stop. Screaming at their own players for not listening to instruction. After the game (a loss for them), those coaches spent 10 minutes arguing with the umpires & tournament organizer while their own players waited patiently in the outfield for the postgame meeting. That meeting included forcing them to run a lap after a long day of baseball (they’d played a doubleheader).
As our team/families drove away from the fields, their team was still in the dugout, as the head coach laid into them for their performance.
This is 10U travel baseball.
This is youth sports.
You wonder why kids burn out from the game or turn out to be bad adults. The cycle feeds itself.
The youth sports culture needs good people to stand in the gap, and stand up for the kids. Each weekend is a wake-up call to just how bad it has gotten, and it’s only getting worse.
