One thing we were looking for from the start was players who really fit together, who sounded in tune.

That's what I love about how diverse our team is - we have such different body types, yet together, we build the best team there is. I think we're stronger together than individually.

Teams are made up of a lot of components. They're made up of hunger, they're made up of desire, they're made up of chemistry, and they're made up of emotion.

Because it was the original 4 guys, and the dynamic of those 4 guys interacting together that had the power.

Cause I was such a novice and thank God that Sarah was as seasoned as she was because she was really a great leader in that regard in the sense that she would communicate really well with the crew.

Obviously every one of them was special to that particular team, all the people that were involved with it.

It wasn't about the X's and the O's and the strategy; it was more about keeping 12 guys focused and committed to a task. That group dynamic, and then helping them to grow as people and basketball players.

I used to feel very lonely on the team. The boys would all pair up.

Interestingly that some of the characters did not turn out the way Jim and Allen had envisioned them.

I never really had a chance to know the players individually... I thought when they were on the floor, they worked hard. But I never really got to know them.
