The cap is diving for the lose ball, getting charge & dishing dimes. He does so much that sometimes feels like heโs doing a triathlon.
+/-: +19 and he led the team in minutes played (28:55). How do you respond to the hostile crowd chanting? Watch until the end.

๐กA huge part of why the Fotu family is so successful at what they do is having a solid family foundation. In their case, having a great foundation allowed Manu and Jen to help their kids, they also expanded their capacity to assist others to become successful.
Before sending their kids to study abroad and play basketball, parents need to consider whether: are you able and willing to drop everything and physically be there for your kids while they are overseas.

Weโve all been there. The scoreboardโs not looking friendly, the other teamโs got skills for days, and every possession feels like a battle. Those moments define us, not just as players, but as people. Sure, winning feels amazing, but thereโs a special kind of growth that comes from facing giants.
Kiwi ๐legend Phil Jones played against some of the toughest competitions in the world: such as @kingjames @yao etc. Sure, the other team may have won, but Phil and his Tall Blacks teammates made them work for it. ๐ณ๐ฟ
He shares his mindset when he plays basketball on the biggest stage in the world. Hope all you young #kiwihoopers take this to heart. And #BeLikePhil

๐คฏWomen athletes are incredible in general. Kat Jones went to the next level: Sheโs about resilience, perseverance, and proving that motherhood and athletic dreams can coexist.
@nz_nbl_girl and @davyc3 were shocked when we heard how long it took to get her back on the court after she had given birth.
๐ณAnd thatโs not it: Determined to return to the court after her ACL injury, Kat embarked on a grueling journey of rehabilitation and training. It wasnโt easy. But her spirit never faltered. After just 5 months, the impossible happened. Kat, stronger than ever, stepped back onto the court.
But Katโs story isnโt just about basketball. Itโs about the lessons she learned on her journey โ lessons about courage, dedication, and the unwavering love of a mother. These lessons she now shares not only with her children but also with the young minds she inspires as a teacher.
Her ability to overcome obstacles and achieve the seemingly impossible. To Kat: anything is possible.

๐คBeen playing ๐ against skilled grown men since he was 16, Hayden Jones understood the assignment: Be confident and not shy away from competition. This only the beginning as he have received multiple offers from colleges. The 17 yo versatile forward/guard has yet to commit to any US colleges as of today. One thing for sure, he is going to be a great addition to any college team. Did I mention that he has a great sense of humor?
Also, imagine having a tall 6โ3โโ guard on your U16 girls team that can bring the ball up and score in your school? One lucky school in NZ is going to have Ava Jones on their roster for a few years. Did I mention that she has been playing above her age group for a while now?
Sky is the limit.

โ ๏ธStitches, sweat, and a game-tying three!
๐ฉน Charlisse Leger-Walker, returned mid-game after a nasty head gash, rocking a badge of courage with stitches underneath. Her second half was a masterclass, culminating in a long trey that sent game to overtime and the gym into a frenzy!
Forget about the final score. This isnโt just a comeback, itโs a testament to unwavering spirit and the power of belief. Onward, Queens! ๐
Share this one in your story and ๐ท๏ธ @espnw letโs blow it up.
