| Shut up n-a, you aint do it - Jeff Teague recalls an angry James Johnson chasing |

usually, when an nba player returns to his college to play with the next generation of athletes, he is greeted with admiration and respect from his juniors, who view him as a source of inspiration. However, when chris paul made his way to wake forest university, things unfolded differently. If jeff teague is to be believed, instead of a warm welcome, players used to shy away from being a part of cp3s team.
on one particular occasion, pauls frustration and provocation reached such disrespectful levels that james johnson could not let him go easily. Thus, the latter chased him around the gym, only to lay his hands on paul and teach him a lesson on how to think twice before speaking.
cp3 got his lesson? By the time johnson and teague made their mark at wake forest, averaging 14.6 and 13.9 points per game, respectively, as freshmen, paul had started establishing himself as one of the best floor generals in the nba. Having won the rookie of the year award in 2006, paul led the league in assists and steals during the 2007-08 campaign while averaging 21.1 points per game to earn his first all-nba first team nod.
so, naturally, when cp3 returned to his alma mater to play a few scrimmages, he expected himself to be the best player and educate his juniors with his own gameplay.
but, according to teague , paul faced the exact opposite. More notably, when jeff made a dazzling reverse layup against the point god, the latter was so evidently upset by a college player torching him on the court that he instantly took his frustration out on johnson, who was merely enjoying his teammates play at such a high level.
as a result, what was supposed to be a light-hearted practice turned tense in a matter of seconds, as johnson stepped forward with visible anger, ready to confront paul for his unnecessary attitude.
you know what? Ill tell you what happened. Shot out to my boy, jj, teague recalled . I hit a reverse layup, jj was like, that s–t nasty! Thats f—ing nasty. Cp was like, shut up n—a, you aint do it. You dont talk to jj like that. He started chasing that n—a around the gym… he go, like, low.

johnson was never to be messed with interestingly, johnson has never been the kind of player anyone would want to mess with, especially physically. Beyond his imposing 68 frame, he has a legitimate background in combat sports, holding a black belt in karate, an (allegedly) undefeated 7-0 mma record and formal training in taekwondo.
perhaps that combination of strength and discipline has made him such an intimidating personality both in college and later in the nba that it has become one of the key reasons why the indiana pacers value his leadership and refuse to let him go from their roster. Theres no denying that james mere presence keeps enforcers from physically or verbally challenging the younger players on his pacers team.
that being said, fortunately for paul, cooler heads prevailed before things went too far that day, and he managed to avoid a physical altercation with johnson. Given johnsons fighting pedigree and reputation, its not difficult to imagine how dangerous the situation could have become in an instant.

| Mission Hills 4-star QB Troy Huhn decommits from Penn State amid James Franklin |

san diego (kusi) — after committing to penn state in the summer of 2024, mission hills quarterback troy huhn announced thursday that he has reopened his recruitment and officially decommitted from the program, according to the signal-caller’s social media .
*watch the video above as james franklin is in attendance to watch troy huhn play against la costa canyon on oct. 3.
the 6-foot-4 san marcos native has thrown for 1,432 yards and 18 touchdowns this season, and the dual-threat senior has also tallied a pair of rushing touchdowns.
huhn officially committed to penn state in 2024 and, according to on3 sports , he attended multiple penn state games last season, including one as recently as sept. 27, when penn state fell 30-24 to oregon.
huhn’s announcement comes in the wake of the firing of penn state head coach james franklin, who was let go on sunday after coaching the nittany lions for 12 seasons. The announcement was made after penn state lost its last three games and committed six penalties in the first half against northwestern on saturday. Penn state quarterback drew allar also suffered a season-ending injury that game.
head coach james franklin of the penn state nittany lions looks on during the fourth quarter against northwestern. (Photo by isaiah vazquez/getty images) huhn, however, has a vast selection to choose from when deciding which program he will commit to now. With offers from highly renowned suitors such as texas, ohio state and michigan, the 4-star recruit will still have his pick of the litter. He even has the opportunity to stay local, as sdsu has also sent him an offer.
while it has not been officially confirmed whether huhn’s decision is based solely on franklin’s recent firing from penn state, speculation about his decommitment centers on the college program’s surprising announcement.
the 6-1 mission hills grizzlies travel to torrey pines on friday to take on the falcons, with huhn perhaps playing with a chip on his shoulder in the wake of recent developments.

| Hawaiis Kansei Matsuzawa Is So Popular In Japan That Hes Landing TV Deals For Ra |

Tokyo toe! An absolute legend!
the athletic department of the university of hawai’i , partnering with spectrum sports and the mountain west, has made the announcement that three rainbow warrior football games will be aired in japan. Rakuten’s r channel will be broadcasting the contests. (Related: unc football was seeking fundraising in saudi arabia: report)
saturday’s game against colorado state will be the first, with the san diego state contest following suit nov. 8. Lastly, it will be hawaii’s nov. 29 matchup against wyoming. Every game will be streamed live on r channel, a free and japanese-based streaming service. Gaora zero on r channel and gaora on demand will also be carrying the contests.
on top of that, four previous hawai’i games from the 2025 campaign will be available on gaora zero on r channel and gaora on demand. The contests were against fresno state, utah state, sam houston and portland state.

— hawaii football (@hawaiifootball) october 16, 2025
the tv expansion is being done because of rainbow warriors kicker kansei “tokyo toe” matsuzawa , a native of japan who is breaking college football records this season with absolutely incredible play.
on the season, he’s 19-for-19 in field goal attempts, setting the mark for consecutive field goals to begin a season in both hawai’i and mountain west history. Going back to the 2024 season, matsuzawa has hit 20 consecutive field goals, which is the longest stretch ever for the rainbow warriors . Oh, and that’s not all, he’s also about to break the university’s all-time record for the most field goals in one season.
the hype started to build for matsuzawa when it was revealed that he taught himself how to kick a football by watching videos on youtube and learning how to speak english from his former teammates at hocking college (ohio). At the end of the 2024 season, he landed a scholarship from hawai’i .

| National Basketball Power to Open Year Without Head Coach Following Suspension |

National basketball power to open year without head coach following suspension
an illinois high school basketball powerhouse has been hit with several violations, including the suspension of its head coach for a number of games.
simeon high school, which has won six boys basketball championships in illinois and produced a number of nba standouts including derrick rose and jabari parker, will be without head coach tim flowers for six games and two assistant coaches for four.
the wolverines cannot practice for the first three days of the 2025-26 season and can play in just 28 games instead of the customary 31, according to a report by the chicago sun-times.
the penalties stem from a trip taken by the team in september to hong kong, which flowers served as head coach. The illinois high school association does not allow that, as simeon was also penalized for the same reason in 2022 following a trip to africa.
flowers, who is 37-22 as head coach of his alma mater, played college basketball at chicago state and wisconsin-milwaukee after beginning in the junior college ranks. He was a teammate with rose, leading simeon to three chicago public league championships and two ihsa class aa state titles while earning all-state honors himself.
ihsa changed penalties following simeon’s appeal
initially, the wolverines were to see flowers suspended for four games and a delayed practice start. However, ihsa executive director craig anderson and the board changed it following an appeal of the penalties.
flowers said, “as far as cps and ihsa go, i am the sacrificial lamb.”
“i did everything i was supposed to do as far as making sure everyone knew what was going on,” he added. “I have video evidence and photo evidence of teams and coaches playing all across the state. We are not the only ones that did it. It is just that our fall games were in hong kong and someone else’s were at h-f or lemont or wherever it may be.”
the trip to hong kong was paid for by rose and his goat lab, which runs clinics.
“i cannot help that derrick rose is my friend and opportunities come because of that,” flowers said. “Am i being held accountable because i have a friend that made it to the nba? I don’t think that is fair or right.”
number of nba players have competed for simeon
a perennial power in illinois, the wolverines last won a state title in 2013, finishing off a run of four in a row in 4a. They were also crowned champions in aa in 1984, 2006 and ‘07, with players like jabari parker, kendrick nunn, nick anderson, deon thomas and calvin brock leading the charge.
the simeon program is also known for the story of benjamin “benji” wilson, a top basketball player who led the wolverines to their first city and state titles. He was shot the day before his senior season opener in 1984, passing away a day later.
wilson was featured in a 30 for 30 documentary by espn, with his no. 25 jersey last being worn by rose.
last year, simeon went 20-8 overall and 8-3 in the conference. They lost to kenwood academy in a sectional semifinal contest, 58-56 in overtime as kenwood erased a 19-point deficit in the third quarter. |

The moment you pull into the parking lot at family thrift outlet in san antonio, you realize this isn’t going to be your average shopping experience – it’s more like entering a retail archaeological site where the artifacts are priced to move and the discoveries never stop coming.
this vance jackson road institution has become the stuff of legend among texas bargain hunters, drawing devoted followers from houston to el paso who treat their shopping trips here like sacred pilgrimages to the holy land of secondhand treasures.
the retro facade promises treasures within, and trust me, it delivers on that promise spectacularly. Photo credit: ana bruja – khayos step through those doors and prepare yourself for sensory overload in the best possible way.
the sheer volume of merchandise hits you like a wave of possibility, each rack and shelf promising hidden gems waiting to be discovered by someone with patience, vision, and comfortable footwear.
the building stretches out before you in a seemingly endless expanse of consumer goods from every era of american life you can imagine.
that distinctive retro exterior with its towering sign has become a neighborhood landmark, the kind of place people use as a reference point when giving directions or meeting up with friends.
inside, fluorescent lights illuminate row upon row of clothing racks that seem to extend into infinity, creating aisles that feel more like corridors in a maze designed by someone who really, really loves organizing things by category.
the women’s clothing section alone could occupy an entire afternoon of dedicated browsing.
welcome to thrift store paradise, where that perfect blazer is hiding somewhere among thousands of possibilities. Photo credit: andrea gaither blouses, dresses, pants, and skirts hang in chromatic waves, each piece representing someone’s former favorite outfit, impulse buy, or gift that never quite hit the mark.
you develop a rhythm as you work through the racks – your fingers become expert at the quick flip-and-scan technique that separates the serious thrifters from the casual browsers.
every few hangers, something catches your eye and demands closer inspection.
maybe it’s the unusual pattern on a vintage dress, the perfect shade of blue in a cardigan, or a blazer that looks suspiciously expensive for a thrift store find.
the men’s section operates on its own frequency, where polo shirts mingle with concert tees from tours that happened before some shoppers were born.
suits that once attended important meetings hang next to fishing vests that have stories written in every pocket.
ladies and gentlemen, behold the sea of endless fashion choices stretching as far as the eye can see. Photo credit: vonia p. You’ll witness grown men become genuinely excited about finding a perfectly broken-in pair of jeans or a leather jacket that fits like it was waiting specifically for them.
children’s clothing occupies its own universe where tiny outfits that were probably worn twice compete for attention with halloween costumes from three years ago.
parents navigate these sections with calculator-like precision, knowing that kids grow faster than summer grass and paying retail prices for something that’ll fit for approximately six weeks is basically financial madness.
the shoe department presents a unique challenge that combines archaeology with optimism.
finding footwear in your size that you actually want to wear feels like discovering buried treasure, except the treasure has already been broken in by someone else’s feet.
boots line up like soldiers from different armies – cowboy boots that have two-stepped through countless honky-tonks, rain boots that have splashed through puddles, work boots that have earned their retirement.
an ocean of white shirts awaits, each one ready to become someone’s new favorite wardrobe staple. Photo credit: riley davis beyond clothing, the housewares section unfolds like a museum of domestic life.
dishes that haven’t seen a dinner table since the carter administration sit next to modern gadgets that someone received as gifts and immediately knew they’d never use.
coffee makers from every generation of coffee-making technology create a caffeinated timeline of american morning routines.
the furniture area requires a different shopping strategy entirely.
here, you’re not just browsing – you’re evaluating structural integrity, measuring with your eyes, and having serious internal debates about whether you really need another bookshelf.
sofas and chairs that have supported countless conversations and naps await their next chapter in someone else’s living room.
tables that have hosted family dinners, homework sessions, and late-night card games stand ready for new memories.
shopping here feels like a treasure hunt where everyone’s searching for their own personal gold. Photo credit: tomy magnets the electronics section feels like stepping into a time machine where decades collapse into each other.
old stereo systems that once blasted music at volumes that annoyed neighbors sit silent next to keyboards that taught children their first songs.
television sets from the era when tvs were furniture pieces share space with gadgets whose purposes have been lost to time.
books create their own ecosystem within the store, with paperbacks and hardcovers forming literary neighborhoods.
romance novels with covers featuring impossibly muscled men and windswept women share shelf space with cookbooks that assume you have both unlimited time and a spice collection that would make a chef weep with envy.
self-help books from every decade offer conflicting advice about how to live your best life, while children’s books wait patiently to spark new imaginations.
the men’s section offers everything from business casual to “i’m definitely going fishing this weekend” attire. Photo credit: tras la verdad the toy section triggers nostalgia in adults and excitement in kids who don’t care that the action figure is missing an arm or that the board game might be missing crucial pieces.
stuffed animals that have been loved into submission pile together in soft mountains of synthetic fur and memories.
electronic toys that may or may not still make their intended sounds create a cacophony of possibility when tested.
seasonal merchandise appears and disappears like retail migrations.
halloween brings an influx of costumes that range from store-bought to definitely-homemade, creating opportunities for unique outfit combinations that no one else at the party will have.
christmas decorations that have witnessed decades of family celebrations arrive in waves, their tinsel perhaps a bit tired but their spirit intact.
the accessories department offers finishing touches for any outfit you can imagine.
those cargo shorts have more pockets than a pool table, perfect for storing all your thrifting finds. Photo credit: brian hundley belts coiled like sleeping snakes wait to define waistlines, while purses and bags of every size and style create a handbag heaven for those who believe you can never have too many bags.

necklaces that might be costume or might be valuable create a guessing game that has shoppers squinting at clasps and consulting their phones to research hallmarks.
watches that have counted countless hours wait for new wrists to adorn.
the social dynamics of thrift shopping reveal themselves in fascinating ways.
strangers become temporary consultants, offering opinions on fit, style, and whether that lamp would look good in your living room or like you robbed a grandmother’s estate sale.
conversations spark over shared discoveries, with shoppers comparing finds and swapping intel about which sections have been recently restocked.
regular customers move through the store with practiced efficiency, their routes optimized through countless visits.
rows upon rows of pants in every size, style, and decade you can imagine. Photo credit: stella p. They know which days bring fresh inventory, which sections hide the best treasures, and exactly how long they can shop before their feet start protesting.
these veterans have developed almost supernatural abilities to spot quality from across the store and can tell real leather from pleather at twenty paces.
newcomers wander with wide-eyed wonder, overwhelmed by choice and possibility.
they haven’t yet learned the unspoken rules of thrift store etiquette – that abandoned carts are fair game after a reasonable waiting period, that holding multiple sizes of the same item is acceptable practice, and that celebrating a particularly good find with a small victory dance is not only allowed but encouraged.
the staff maintains order in this controlled chaos with remarkable grace.
they process donations that range from pristine to puzzling, organize inventory that seems to multiply overnight, and answer questions that range from reasonable to remarkably specific.

cashiers who have seen every possible purchase combination maintain professional composure whether someone’s buying one shoe or seventeen identical coffee mugs.
loading purchases into vehicles becomes an exercise in spatial reasoning.
the parking lot witnesses daily demonstrations of physics-defying packing techniques as shoppers attempt to fit furniture that looked much smaller in the store into cars that seemed much larger in memory.
the electronics section is where old technology goes to find new homes and second chances. Photo credit: family thrift center bungee cords and rope appear from trunks like magic, securing precarious loads that will hopefully survive the journey home.

| The Enormous Flea Market In Arizona Where You Can Fill Your Trunk For $40 |

this isn’t just a place for castoffs and secondhand goods (though those certainly exist in abundance).
many vendors offer new items at prices that make big-box retailers seem positively extortionate by comparison.
the market serves as an incubator for small businesses testing concepts before committing to expensive storefronts.
handcrafted glass treasures catch the light like arizona sunsets, each iridescent piece transforming ordinary shelves into galleries of affordable art. Photo credit: mesa market place swap meet artisans who might be priced out of galleries display their work directly to consumers, creating personal connections that often result in repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals.
