THE POWER OF ONE: Basketball is a TEAM sport.  Those teams that succeed:

• come together as ONE unified group off the court
• play together as ONE on the court...the sum of their five parts creating ONE cohesive unit
• sacrifice all individual agendas and instead have ONE agenda.

Only true TEAMS succeed...not always the one with most talented players (see Miami Heat and Boston Red Sox) but instead the one that plays as ONE cohesive group (see Dallas Mavericks and St. Louis Cardinals).  The ultimate success and enjoyment of a season often comes down to which group comes together as a TEAM and acts as ONE!
