Great, great read.

"Morey has become a sort of NBA Anthony Robbins: his fame, seminars, and advanced understanding of basketball are all part of an ultimate sleight of hand. And, like any magic act, he relies on the naivete and complicity of his audience."

Morey is our everyman, the personification of our own delusions of ultimate wisdom. To suggest he doesn’t have a handle on things is to admit our own run-of-the-mill sports insight and confess our persistent, predictable preference for personality over substance. We are collectively less interested in proof of Morey’s advanced thinking than in maintaining our belief that he has, in fact, subverted the old guard. Morey’s triumph allows us the feeling of being part of the in-crowd, but, in turn, our continuing investment in his myth makes us part of the problem.
