8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (Philippians 4:8 NLT)

40:35 Let’s just take a minute to appreciate how much time and work she put into these videos?
It's unbelievable, and I think they deserve a lot more than that

Y’all said he was the next Kawhi Leonard
The day that you become content, the day you stop growing, the day you stop getting better, is the day you die, and the person who's trying to catch you, will catch you. Don't stop improving.
Would have been cool to touch on his time at Gonzaga too. I feel like that played a pretty big contribution to where he is rn as well. He didn’t even speak English when he got to the school and left ready for the NBA. Pretty crazy
I didn't understand a one he said
Hachimura, who is Japanese and became an NBA player, is really amazing.
He is the pride of Japan!
Hachimura may not be a star player in the NBA, but he is a superstar player to Japanese people.
Compared to Harrison Barnes and Kawhi Leonard coming into the league, I really hope Rui to really break out. He's got the whole nation of Japan on his back. He got the tools to be a great player, maybe an All-Star level at least once.
