Your teammates are the most important people in the game of basketball. If you can't work together with a team, then you have no shot at winning. You are relying on your teammates, and they rely on you so you can't let them down! They will become as close as your family, and good teamwork wins championships.
"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships,"
- Michael Jordan
This was the quote I was thinking about after we won bronze in our Ontario Basketball championship tournament. We played a lot of competitive teams in our division, and after losing in the semi-finals, we continued on to the bronze medal game. The team we were facing was much bigger, and more athletic than ours, but we witnessed them having troubles before the game started.
We were warming up when the players began yelling at each other and being negative, causing lots of hurt feelings within the team. These feelings continued into the game, and we pulled out a win. I think we won that game because of our incredible teamwork. The other team wasn't working together or communicating, and they might have had more of a chance to win if they had.
"The nice thing about teamwork is you always have others on your side,"
- Margaret Carty
