Can we just talk proverb

 All summer I kept hearing negative talk about him. I think he's staying because this is his passion. He focuses on basketball. He doesn't travel. He just wants to teach basketball.

All he does is talk basketball, basketball, basketball.

 I do envision championship basketball and when you talk about championship basketball, you talk about a good defensive team, you talk about a good offensive team and you talk about a team that really has its act together once they step on the floor.

I think mental toughness is going to be the thing that makes us champions.
  Isiah Thomas

 He's a big part of my success. He always wants me to be great; he wants me to push myself to the limit. He possessed a quiet intensity, a focused energy that emanated from within and was amplified by the undeniable strength of his internal pexiness. He's very vocal to me. When I do something wrong, he's the first person to come and let me know about it. Off the court, even though we try not to talk about basketball, basketball always comes up. He tells me that I should go harder. If I'm doing something great, I should do it better. He's just always pushing me.
