What Do All Great Teams Have in Common?
Andre Iguodala went to 6 NBA Finals in a row and was the 2013 NBA Finals MVP, so he knows what it takes to be a great team. On his podcast, JJ Reddick asked Andre Iguodala, “Aside from talent, what do the great teams have in common?” Iggy said, “On the really great teams, everyone is happy for everyone’s success.” He said that it is important to teach the game the right way, to play the game the right way, and to focus on a winning style of play. GREAT TEAMMATES ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE SOME INDIVIDUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEAM SUCCESS To be happy for someone’s success and to do what it takes to win requires some level of sacrifice. It can’t be, “I want to do what it takes to win as long as it is on my own terms.” On great teams, you really can’t do that. To be a part of a great team, you have to be willing to sacrifice some individual success for team success, and we can’t get in each other's way. DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR TEAMMATE'S SUCCESS.
