That shit about mothers never being tired hit me hard. What a great way to put it.

[@kevnation5556]

Coach K giving out gems. Kobe not hitting those stand still 3s, leading up to him getting up a thousand shots up a night should be a lesson to these guys. Plus, that bar about moms never getting tired. If those two stories can't motivate guys, there's no hope lol

[@swaggy6122]

T0PSECRET why are you copying & pasting the same thing in everyone’s comments? Fucking weirdo

[@ohhhyeahhh1174]

@T0PSECRET What? I was alive to see all that, joe and his mom told kobe not to marry vanessa because she was mexican not because he was young. They wanted kobe to marry someone else. So kobe defied there orders and married her a couple months later.

My parents were always too tired to go anywhere unnecessary or do any fun things (like we never went on any fun trips, the movies, etc), I would have laughed at this, so I'm hopeless (I'm not there's just different ways to motivate different people).

[@creydadj]

Coach K ain’t lying at all. Kobe hit a lot of stand still 3s against Spain the 2008 Olympic final.

[@mwangikimani3970]

True but ESPN pays $1000s a minute for coach's time, its partly contractual, meanwhile the players making $300million for the Duke basketball program and $billions for the NCAA don't get a dime. Absolute exploitation, don't be tired my behind!

[@belvederehd7237]

“Be as tough as your mothers” really hit me.

[@batzxxl]

"When you're tired, what do you start thinking about? You." He didn't need to follow that up with "And when you think about 'you', you become selfish," or "Then you're not thinking about the team or our goals." He left that for them to fill in the blanks and it seemed to really register. These are the reasons people talk about how you can learn life lessons through sports. Everything he told his team in this clip, could be easily translated to business or personal relationships. Great motivation and communication.

[@kelvinstewart7953]

Coach K said, “Be as tough as your mother”…..He understood the value of a mother. That is not to devalue the father (especially since he raised two daughters as a father) but the value of a mother is often under appreciated. He wanted the players to know that if you want to succeed, you have to know what a mother brings to the table that often isn’t recognized and bring that toughness when you play basketball.
