Good read.

8. What do y’all think about these Super Teams? Or should I say these Coward Teams?

HA! I’m just playing. I’m playing. Jokes, man, it’s nothing but jokes. I’m not going to be that cranky old vet who doesn’t want their sport to evolve. Plenty of ways to build a team.

Just me personally though….. I liked our way. I liked being that rock star, that little General — and then everyone else, welcome aboard, salute, they’re my soldiers. I liked our continuity we had. I liked how I was building these relationships with these dudes. And my dudes could PLAY. They could flat-out play! People, these days, they all forget that. We won 56 games in ’01. Had it cooking on both ends of the floor. But now everyone thinks they can just run some numbers, do some trade machine, and figure out how a team gets better?? Nah.

I’ll tell y’all about one time. They traded my boy Vernon Maxwell. They really went and traded my main man Vern. I walk into the building one day, and I’m like, “Where’s Max????? Where’s Max?????”

“He gone.” And then that was it!

Listen……… you did NOT want a piece of me that day. You did not want to look at me funny on the day they traded Mad Max. To this DAY I hate that trade! Why’d they have to do that to us? Some calculators said so? Man, forget these calculators! Alright — and then tell me this: Can these geniuses find the stat about how Vern’s tough as NAILS?? Or about how the guy had our back, every night, no matter what??

Straight up, no b.s., this is one of the biggest lessons I’ve ever learned: Not everything has to be measured — and not everything was meant to be! That goes for hoop, or life, or whatever. Can’t wrap your brain around the whole damn universe.

Some sh*t, the way things work, it’s just a mystery on purpose.
