Been reading "Character Driven" by Derek Fisher this week and found plenty of nuggets to pass along. I preach this to my team constantly..."Just about every coach I have ever played for has emphasized one thing about defense: playing good defense generally comes down to desire. If you want to be a good defender, you can be a good defender by simply expending the necessary energy at that end of the floor.
Phil Jackson repeatedly said that you can have an off-night shooting - maybe some quirk in your mechanics shows up or something else goes wrong - but you should never have an off-night on defense because good defense isn't so much about technique as it is about desire and energy."
