“Do Work” — A Spoken Word
If a season could speak,
this one would shout.
It would echo in every arena,
every locker room,
every late night in the gym
when no one was watching.
This “Do Work” year?
It said it all.
A journey—
with ups, with downs,
with growth, with grit,
and a whole lot of heart.
Last year? 14-68.
So yeah, they didn’t expect much.
But I did.
We did.
‘Cause the strength of this team?
Never lived on paper.
It lived in the locker room.
In the work.
In the players with something to prove.
The overlooked, the doubted—
they became the heartbeat.
We brought the edge back.
The physicality.
The fight.
The grit.
That’s not just basketball.
That’s Deeetroit Basketball.
Some said we were too physical.
Too tough.
Too much.
And?
That’s who we are.
Let these six words ring loud:
We. Aren’t. Going. Any. Where.
Players change.
That’s the league.
But what doesn’t change?
The mindset.
The toughness.
The resilience.
That’s the foundation.
That’s the difference.
And we’re just getting started.
Up next? Summer League.
More growth.
More grit.
More work.
