Actually, the team is really amazing in that manner. There's no "me" attitude anywhere. Even Pearl has no air of his own greatness about him, despite the fact that he's getting awards and honors and various halls-of-fame nominations daily anymore. Even a non-hoops fan like me can enjoy this team and appreciate what they've done. Even if they were at 0.500 right now, I would be pleased with them and speak highly of them. That teamwork thing is huge, and when 5 great athletes work as a team, it can be a thing of art and a real joy to watch. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re trying to convert me over to basketball.
