You guys had a surprise in store for me at the 6:25 mark. Of course I’m listening…and flattered you remembered me from Vegas. I admire your genuine love for the game, interesting perspectives, and entertaining banter. For the record, Lew Alcindor began his run of MVP’s my birth year, so you actually underestimated my age😂. Looking forward to watching you expand your influence!

#DropTheMike Used to be a pretty decent player.. Highschool high was 38 College high 13 D1 College high 33 D2 Career high 55 18u 13 3’s and still lost the game. Best memory was winning State POY in high school. Memory people don’t believe is hitting my head on the rim on a tip dunk in Hs, always have to show people the vid on YT to prove it. Love the Pod fellas!!

[@drakemartes937]

Kenny’s point about HOH getting big and pushing highlights is very true. I actually started watching NBA from that and then quickly found you guys right after.

[@HoodiMatt]

Ngl, I only watch for the “random banter” and it’s always amazing everytime 🥂🥂

[@sirz11]

#DropTheMike Scored 16 points in high school. Favorite memory would either be making back to back 3s to close out a playoff game or getting a steal and making the game winning layup.

[@662tra]

#DropTheMike My JV game high was 10, Varsity was 16, & AAU was 20. My favorite memory was when i made the gw shot against our rival to advance in the playoffs

[@shawnkohl1619]

Today’s a great day. No work, no school, 2 and a half hour pod, got some pizza and beer, life is good

[@htswhitey963]

Cherished moments🙌🏼

[@bigsmacked]

My career high in HS was 19, was a small, past first point guard and wasn’t a great shooter so my scoring output wasn’t usually very high. Had it going in warmups one game and decided to take a couple 3’s and they fell, and my floater was falling as well. Ended up going like 6/12 and made 5 FT’s and had a clutch steal to seal the game. By far my favorite performance of mine.

[@londonwontstopcalling]

man that reminds me of this one game i won. i was really only out there for some wing defense and rebounding since i wasnt the best shooter but i could finish plays well enough in cuts etc. i put us up with a backdoor cut and right after the inbound i stole the ball back, had an open 3, and just felt like it’d go in so i took it and made it. most confident ive ever felt. went 1/5 the next game lmao.

[@jesiahCalabrese702]

#dropthemic It was summer between 6th and 7th grade, I was on an AAU team and I grabbed 33 rebounds. I was on the "lowest" team out of 3 (we were separated by grade) and I remember being so hyped to go into practice to talk my shit to the older kids but since I was a skinny white boy that wasn't tall by any means, no one believed me even with my teammates vouching for me. But damn, that shit was wild. stat line was 18 points and 33 rebounds ... Even with that, I didn't make my middle school team that year. I was pissed

[@jsandy4750]

High school was 42 and college was 24 but a favorite memory of mine was having a double double and 5 blocks against Xavier Tillman in an AAU game on the Adidas circuit. Our team was super undersized but we somehow got the dub.

[@jxnnydxvth]

#DropTheMike My career high was 8, I only played basketball in school league for one year and I wasn’t a scorer. I had two quarter ending 3s and a layup. My favorite memory was going against a friend and we were talking trash the whole game, and he got a nice steal and ran transition and I got a mean chasedown block on him near the rim and I never felt better.

[@isagutierrez9931]

love the pod y’all

[@marsdeath12396]

Back again once again to ask y’all to do a live show in Portland one day. Appreciate y’all, great show

[@Tone_1m]

#dropthemic Best moment: Hitting a game winner in the second round of the playoffs. Our coach held the ball the whole ball the whole game ending score was 11-12. Career high 30&15 rebs sophomore year.

[@Raethewave]

Let's go! Appreciate you guys!

[@thewallwall]

#dropthemic The most I ever dropped in a hs game was like 8 (defensive juggernaut tho 😂), but the best part of that game was that at the end, one of my teammates shot a game-winning 3 when we was down 2 with 30 seconds left

[@SomeGoodBroth]

That’s 1 pt higher than me ggs

[@dylan_kyle1]

#DropTheMike, the most I ever dropped in a high school game was 22, and my best memory was actually a JV game where I hit a game tying 3 at the buzzer. That lowkey empty JV game crowd sounded so loud in that moment 😂

[@danielpiller4612]

W . Listening while hooping

[@bensonincorporated3078]

Best basketball memory hit back to back threes all time scoring high. I'm usually a guy who just plays defense and makes one corner three. But that game I hit two at the top of the key. Felt like Steph honestly. For the first time in my basketball career I heard someone yell "aye gaurd that boy he a shooter fr" I never played with these dudes up until this point. So from then on I was guarded closely. Best feeling ever for someone to acknowledge you as a threat on the court.

[@jetblk2834]

I talk to R.W almost weekly, he comes by my job all the time. Real cool dude, he was surprised when I recognized him and told him I was a fan from his Bears years

[@kingjamesxavier4071]

best high school basketball memory is hitting a buzzer beater from passed half court in double overtime.. my highest scoring game was 34 as a senior in HS

[@vJustAnt]

[@1800LUNATIC]

The Toronto thing is overblown. Taking a massive leap to assume that Darko instructed this guy to steal info, and not that the guy just took it for his new job as video coordinator. There is no evidence to suggest that Darko influenced him to steal it

[@lonepengueen9187]

Perfect timing mannnnnn

[@RayRaybfresh]

#dropthemic The highest I scored in a game is 13 in AAU. Don't seem like much, but it was huge for me. I was a decent role player, always good for 4-6 points and 6 or so boards, but that whole weekend I was goin crazy dropping 9-11 points every game and being our best defensive player, where I won tourney MVP. That's when I knew it wasn't just about how many points I score.

#DroptheMike In high school the most I ever dropped was 29. 9 threes and a two free throws lol after spraining my ankle 12 times I wasn’t going anywhere near that paint. Best memory though was one time I got a four point play and out bench went insane

[@adenpolley2747]

I never played collective school hoops but my favorite hooping moment was in my freshman year of college at our school gym. I ended up dropping 13 in a game to 15 with a weaker team. I’m not a good ball handler so it forced me to play out of position. Won the game on a steal and lay.

[@garyhoops9986]

I play college, not at a super high level but at least 4-5 of my teammates be watching these these episodes, so y’all got some college hoopers watching😂

[@jahnnypacfroy4209]

#DropTheMike • 2 pts in 8th grade. I'm 5'5 and chubby as hell then. I was a "defensive maestro" (a quick fire hydrant) so i got subbed in the 4th to guard the other team's best player (pg). Tie game, I stole the ball straight out his hands with less than a minute 30 left. Me and him 1on1 coast to coast. He tried to block me and fouled my whole damn arm. Crowd popped, AND 1. Everybody was hyped as hell cause that was clutch for the team. I ended up missing the free throw but that was my best game for sure.

[@PrinceOfTheMid]

Look at TTW always clutch when they drop

[@ryansoffer180]

#dropthemike my favorite basketball memory has to be when I hit a 3 to win the game with only 3 seconds left. My teammate got a rebound off a missed free throw and kicked it out to me. The most points I ever dropped in a game was 22 when I was 12 I was a legend before everyone else started growing.

[@chef.diesel]

[@kingklassic3522]

#dropthemic My best game in high school game was 32 points on 48% fg and 43% from 3. Best memory was getting 4th in Texas for charges taken. Best game in college was 3 pts, 2 rebounds, 1 charge in 4 minutes of my first college game.

#dropthemike Career high: 26 at our high school’s home tournament (got named to the tournament all star team) Best moment: In the early 4th quarter of the Championship game I caught an elbow that cut my brow open. I was bleeding so had to check out. I went back to the room and got cleaned up with some bandages to hold the cut shut. I came back out in the last minutes, called my own number and checked back in. Closed the game out with my boys senior year. Got a board, a layup and a 1-on-1 stop in the closing minutes. Won by 8. Hosted the party at my place after. Kno da vibez

[@hoeshatedielone]

For last week shaq won mvp the year i was born (2000) and Kevin Durant and Derrick rose got me into the NBA My highest was 14 and i was in 9th grade going on 10th and it was in a rec league. My favorite hoopin memory is when i was a junior a teammate missed a shot and i jumped to tip it in with my left and the crowd cheered loud. Coach told me i was so high i could have dunked i was only like 5’7 at the time #dropthemike

[@RaymondSoFunny]

#DropTheMike My game high is 22 on Freshman A team, had 8 in the 1Q. Went to OT against a rival team and my teammate missed both free throws to win the game. Tuff locker room convo after that. Then I think my next highest was 18 on 8th grade B team, we played that game on a carpet court.

#dropthemike Favorite memory. 8th grade tryouts, kid gets cut, cries his eyes out on the phone to his mom, she comes to the school & screams at the coach & the kid is at practice, on the team the next day.

[@compverson5132]

#DropTheMike my best basketball memory when I played was when I travelled out of town for a basketball tournament to a small town in Newfoundland. It has nothing to do with the basketball. We played one game the whole week and a borderline hurricane hit the town we were playing in. Power was out, no heat, two cars broke down. It was awful but it was so bad it was hilarious and it's my most vivid memory from highschool. My career high is deadass like 12 I was the fat kid that was lucky to make the team 😭

[@216kicks]

#DropTheMike The highest points I scored was 8 straight points with 3 minutes left to bring my team back in a freshman game. My teammate didn’t pass me the ball for a WIDE OPEN game winning layup. (I was a “big” that was not a scorer whatsoever. I played a lot because I was a very good defender and rebounder.) One of my favorite basketball memories. Was my 7th grade coach believing in me so much he drew up a play for me to make a clutch mid range shot. My teammates told him no he shouldn’t have me shooting it and he told them to to encourage me instead of bring me down. I usually overthink when I’m playing, but he really put so much confidence in me that I was laser focused and I swished that clutch bucket. (We ended stilling the ball back and my teammate shot a game winning 3 but slapped on the arm and the ref didn’t call it, so we lost)

[@cdagaming4047]

#DropTheMike Favorite Basketball playing memory: (I have 2). 1. I hit two clutch 3’s to send us into two overtime’s during my senior year. It was the other teams senior night and we ended up winning the game. 2. My first BIG college game was going up against Lee college (a big JuCo program), and played against some amazing talent. Tony Farmer was one of those guys and I got to guard him. He busted my ass. 😂 Most points in a game: 38 in high school, 21 in college. Never got close to that number in either instances again😂
