Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. Its being able to take it as well as dish it out. Thats the only way youre going to get respect from the players. – Larry Bird
Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate youre ready to play as tough as youre able to, youd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when youre not giving it all youve got. – Larry Bird
