The Exceptional Player

Don't toss around superlatives as though they're pennies. Reserve them for the truly deserving. Think Bill Russell, not on basketball's Mount Rushmore, because he's on Mount Olympus. Lightly recruited in high school, all he did was: 

  • Win a pair of NCAA championships
  • Win an Olympic Gold Medal
  • Win 11 NBA titles in 13 years
  • 14 Championships in 15 years
  • In "win or go home" situations, his teams were 21-0. 
The best players make their teammates better. They impact winning and energize. They are relentless.
