"Comparison Is the Thief of Joy"

"Comparison is the thief of joy." - Teddy Roosevelt

MIAA Power Rankings come out today. "Control what you can control."

Where does MVB belong in the polls, in the ratings, in the hearts and minds of America? 

Does it matter? Bring the best version of yourself to home, school, and the court every day. Polls don't change that. "The MVB Blog" changes nothing. The rankings don't change that. They determine playoff seedings.

Joe Mazzulla said the goal is to win a championship, every season, regardless of how the prior playoffs turned out. That's wisdom. 

In The Undoing Project, Michael Lewis shares the remarkable careers of Danny Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Kahneman, a Nobel Laureate points out an intelligence test... how long it would take to realize that Tversky was the smartest guy in the room, every room. If one thinks they're the smartest guy or on the 'best team', get out more. 

Polls and rankings are fun. At the end of the day, every team has the same chance to prove itself during the postseason.
