You see that a handful of times every year where a person that hasn't been playing that well pops up and wins.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some guys seem to jump right out and win tournaments, but for me, I've been the kind of player who is getting a bit better each year.
Even championship-winning teams don't play well all the time.
And then to end up with a total of 347 wins, averaging 10 regular season wins for 33 years and the best winning percentage, and I'm very proud of this, of any professional team from 1970 to 1996.
I think great players can play in any year, that's why they're great. A lot of it is down to the mental approach.
A lot of players think the game is all about individual performances when it's really all about a team game.
Every year you suit up, you play for a championship. Some years, some teams... it was very few times I think I played on that realistically had a chance.
So I don't really believe that how many years you've had in the league determines how well your players play... Coaching is coaching.
It can be boring to see the same players winning every time.
A winning player is nothing more than a player on a winning team. A losing player is a guy who played on a losing team that year.
In games, we know who has won... You get the reinforcement for having played well.
