My Philosophy Is That You Can't Motivate

I Care About Systematically Playing Basketball. If The Spacing Isn't Right, If Guys Are Standing On Top Of Each Other, If There Aren't Lanes To Be Provided, Or Rebounders Available To Offensively Rebound The Ball, Or We Don't Have Defensive Balance When A Shot Goes Up, All Of These Things Are Fundamental Basketball. I Follow It.

It Takes A Number Of Critical Factors To Win An Nba Championship, Including The Right Mix Of Talent, Creativity, Intelligence, Toughness, And Of Course, Luck. But If A Team Doesn’t Have The Most Essential Ingredient - Love - None Of Those Other Factors Matter.

There's A Term, Agape, You Hear Used A Lot With Charismatic Religious Groups, That It's This More Pure Love Of Caring, Of Sharing Of Concern And Understanding. I Think Players And Teams Have To Come To That At Some Point In The Season To Become Successful. Maybe Not "personal Friends," But They Become Teammates At The Highest Level Of That Term.

I Expect A Cigar.....not Lit, Hopefully

I'm Not Trying To Find Answers Anymore. I'm Trying To Live What I Know.
