Came across an article where North Carolina Coach Roy Williams was telling a story about current Atlanta Hawk and last season's ACC Freshman of the Year Marvin Williams:
Marvin fouled out near the end of a close AAU game. His coach called a time out to talk with the rest of the players. Marvin ran to the end of the bench and filled cups of water for each of his teammates who were still in the game as a way to contribute even though he was on the bench with five fouls. "I don't want the kids who are too cool. I want guys who are focused on how they can help the team. I absolutely love it when the best player on the team is also the best leader."
Championship caliber players (and teams) understand the concept of "we before me."
(Thanks Coach DeForest)
