A team is a group of individuals who function with one thought in mind?to achieve the goal of winning. Usually when you watch exceptional teams, they play as if they know each and every movement before a play takes place. The beauty of a great basketball team is that everyone is so well coordinated that every team member seems to share a mental connection. Greatness is easy to see but difficult to achieve and the most casual of fans can certainly see this special bond. When you experience this as an athlete it?s the greatest feeling in the world.
