No One Plays This Or Any Game

You Go In The Weight Room And You Lift Weights And You Do All These Things To Strengthen Your Body. This Is Strengthening Your Mind. When You Can Stay Focused And You Can Use That Focus To Always Come Back With Your Breath To Center Yourself, So That You're Kind Of Floating In The Moment, In The Spirit.

No One Plays This Or Any Game Perfectly. It's The Guy Who Recovers From His Mistakes Who Wins.

Basketball, Unlike Football With Its Prescribed Routes, Is An Improvisational Game, Similar To Jazz. If Someone Drops A Note, Someone Else Must Step Into The Vacuum And Drive The Beat That Sustains The Team.

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.

Remember, Team, Surrender The Me For The We.
