Episode Quotes
“The best basketball teammates are humble, hungry, and smart. That is, they're willing to make a pass rather than shoot. They hustle on defense, especially for loose balls. And they have basketball IQ.”
“Teams face adversity, setbacks, and pressure situations. It’s how they respond – how resilient they are and how much they persevere – that will define their success.”
“If you're the underdog, be aggressive. Take those three pointers to swing momentum. Play hard and be relentless. You've got to outwork and out-hustle your opponent.”
“If you're the heavy favorite, play your game...look for opportunities...but keep the main thing, the main thing.”
