I have always admired Larry Bird. People call him Larry Legend now. Why? He is one of the best in the game (if NOT the best!) What he lacked with regard to physical gifts and overall athleticism, he filled the gap and void by playing smarter, more effectively and really worked his 'pants and socks off' every practice and importantly, every game.
I do think that this RELENTLESS attitude and overall mindset is what we need to embrace and exude. There is NO excuse to 'coast along' - step backwards 2-5 steps as it may - but doing so will allow you to play it ahead and move 100 steps forward!
Aside from this guy's ultra high - I would say genius hoops IQ - he was just so relentless at both ends of the floor. Picking (and making!) his shots wisely, and covered (and locked up!) much stronger and larger men at the defensive end. Bird would really punish you - literally - and lay down that killer blow if you are lazy and sluggish.
