Basketball is so unique. It's both a team and an individual sport.
I love the individual sport stuff but the experiences I've had with some great people over 12 or 15 years are what makes is special. That individual thing: me versus the bowler is great but you get that team feeling as well and that's why it suits me so well.
I love the relays. Track is such an individual sport, so it's fun to do something together.
Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.
That's what I love about tennis: As an individual sport, you can't hide behind teammates.
Not every child is cut out for an individual sport.
That's the part of basketball that we have to understand. You can never look at it as an individual sport. You rely on so many other people.
I don't care what you do in life. To say that that year I was the absolute best, especially when you're in a team sport - and I have more of a personality that I wished I would've played an individual sport - to win a championship, to get 60 people and focused in one direction and do it over a seven-month period is phenomenal.
Life as a pro is definitely an individual sport. Thankfully that's how I've always been so I like it that way.
Leadership is an individual sport, one that has to be fine-tuned to each of the people that reports to you. Leaders also need to provide the direction, energy, encouragement and inspiration for each person who reports directly to the leader as well as for the overall organization.
