Jalen Williams' Mom Took Him Out Of School One Day Just To Teach Him A Lesson About Discipline
Jalen Williams' Mom Took Him Out Of School One Day Just To Teach Him A Lesson About Discipline originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams is one of the team's most reliable players, but this aspect of the guard isn't just a random development. In a story revealed by Mike Breen, we learned that William's discipline is the product of his parenting. He said: Advertisement "William's parents are Air Force veterans, he grew up in a house where obviously discipline was essential. He had to make his bed every morning and take care of his little brother." Breen then retold the story of how Williams' mother taught him a lesson on discipline. "He remembers one time he was in school, he didn't make his bed. He went to school," he said. "His mom came to school, took him out of school, brought him home to make the bed, and then brought him back to school." Breen added, "He [Williams] credits mom and dad to that discipline equalling his success as an athlete. He said he's so fortunate that his parents used to come to all his games. That's wonderful support from the family." Williams' discipline and consistency are nothing to scoff at. Although he has struggled to get going on the offensive end in the playoffs, the Thunder guard always finds ways to contribute. Advertisement Whether it involves getting the ball moving or simply locking down on defense through hard-nosed effort, the 24-year-old finds a way to come through for his team. A contribution of 19 points, five rebounds, and five assists in Game 2 would certainly be considered consistent as the Thunder roll past the Pacers in a 123-107 win. Jalen Williams Believes The Thunder Can Still Get Better While speaking with ESPN's Malika Andrews after the result of Game 2, Jalen Williams expressed that the Oklahoma City Thunder haven't played their best just yet. "I don't think you ever want to limit yourself. We've done enough to win games, I think tonight we did enough to win games. But obviously, on the road, it's definitely a different mentality. They came in and stole one here, so they're definitely going back with a lot of confidence," said the Thunder guard. "So we've got to be ready to really compete a lot harder than we did in these last two games." Advertisement A dominant win in Game 2 certainly showcases some resilience on the part of the Thunder, particularly in light of the shocking result from Game 1. A key factor in Game 2 was the contributions of Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins off the bench. Caruso and Wiggins locked down on the Pacers' offense. Meanwhile, they managed to outperform the opposition as well, racking up 20 and 18 points respectively. The game was put away by Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had 34 points on the night, with eight rebounds and five assists. OKC didn't do much different from Game 1, other than stunting any attempts at a comeback made by Indiana. With the league's best defense being put on display, the Thunder simply prevented any miracles from taking place.

Falcons Linked to Potential Aggressive Move for 2-Time Pro Bowler
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entering the 2025 NFL season, the NFC South division is wide open. While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are considered by many to be the favorite, the Atlanta Falcons are going to be a team worth watching as well. Last season, the Falcons finished the year with an 8-9 record and narrowly missed the playoffs. They had been in contention all year long, but simply couldn't get into the postseason. A new era of football is set to begin this season in Atlanta. Michael Penix Jr., the team's second-year quarterback, will be the starter and will look to take the Falcons back to contention. Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris looks on from the field after an NFL football game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on December 16, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Photo byWhile the roster looks solid, some questions need to be answered. One potential need could come at the cornerback position. Read more: Broncos Urged to Pursue Blockbuster Trade To Support Bo Nix With that in mind, Atlanta has been connected as a possible suitor for a two-time Pro Bowl free agent. Arkesh Ray of Atlanta Falcons on SI has suggested that the team could consider signing former Green Bay Packers star cornerback Jaire Alexander, who was recently released by the Packers. "With major injury concerns and an inability to stay on the field as of late, Alexander would not be able to demand a huge contract. If the Falcons are able to bring him on a cheap deal, they should consider it, providing competition and depth at outside corner," Ray wrote. "With Alexander's injury history and matador tackling, Alexander could still fit a coverage role that should be even more valuable with an upgraded pass rush." Adding a piece like Alexander could be the fix that the Falcons' defense needs. If he can return to full health and stay healthy, he's still more than capable of being one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Last season with Green Bay, Alexander showed off what he's capable of in the seven games he did play. He recorded 16 total tackles, one fumble recovery, two interceptions, a defensive touchdown, and seven defended passes.

That's where he would stay as long as he's healthy enough to play. While the concerns about his health could scare teams off, the Falcons would be taking on little to no risk. On a one-year contract, Atlanta could simply move on if things didn't work out after the 2025 season. They may not have an interest in Alexander, but the Falcons are a team to keep an eye on.

Atlanta Falcons post-draft position preview: Center
Atlanta Falcons post-draft position preview: Center Veteran Ryan Neuzil to replace Drew Dalman as Atlanta's starting center in 2025 The Atlanta Falcons should benefit from continuity on offense this season with 10 of 11 starters set to return in 2025. However, center Drew Dalman signed a lucrative deal with the Chicago Bears on the opening day of NFL free agency, leaving a hole in the middle of Atlanta's offensive line. Since the team didn't add a center in the draft, the Falcons will look to veteran backup Ryan Neuzil to step up in 2025. After starting eight games last season, Neuzil will enter the year as the starter for the first time in his NFL career. In today's post-draft preview, we examine the center position, including depth chart, salary cap space and available free agents. Center depth chart Ryan Neuzil Jovaughn Gwyn Matthew Cindric Michael Gonzalez As you can see above, there's no real threat or competition for Neuzil at center. Gwyn is a former seventh-round pick and has only appeared in two career games. Cindric is a former undrafted free agent who spent his first year in Minnesota. The Falcons signed Gonzalez is an undrafted free agent out of Louisville while they waited for Neuzil to sign his contract. 2025 salary cap hits Neuzil: $3,263,000 Gwyn: $1,030,000 Cindric: $840,000 Gonzalez: $840,000 The Falcons signed Neuzil to a two-year, $9.5 million deal in late May. His 2025 salary cap hit is $3.2 million, which isn't bad for a starting offensive lineman. Gwyn has the second-highest cap hit of the team's centers at $1 million this season. Cindric and Gonzalez are outside of the Falcons' top 51 players in terms of salary cap this season ($840,000 apiece). Top free agents available David Andrews (retired) Nick Harris Dan Feeney Nick Gates The free-agent center market leaves a lot to be desired. It's clear why the team felt bringing back Neuzil was its best option. Former Patriots center David Andrews would have been a good option but he opted to retire following his release. Dan Feeney and Nick Gates are a few low-end options the team could consider if they don't like their current group. Predictions/expectations for 2025 Neuzil is a former undrafted free agent who's spent his entire career as a backup. He played well in place of Dalman last season and now it's his time to shine. While Neuzil doesn't have much experience, he's in a good spot playing between Pro Bowl guard Chris Lindstrom and former second-round pick Matthew Bergeron. If Neuzil doesn't get the job done this season, perhaps the team will give Gwyn a look. Falcons post-draft position breakdowns
