In basketball - as in life - true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way.

Basketball, unlike football with its prescribed routes, is an improvisational game, similar to jazz. If someone drops a note, someone else must step into the vacuum and drive the beat that sustains the team.
