Really interesting take on applying (self-described) entrepreneurial thinking to basketball.<p>Some of my favorite quotes:<p>On Intellectual humility:<p>> Lifelong learning is where it’s at. To walk down that path requires a deep-seated humility about a)
what’s knowable, and b) what each of us know. We hire for this aggressively. We celebrate this internally.
And we’ve been known to punish when we find it woefully lacking.<p>On Innovation:<p>> In most endeavors, it’s fine to be content to woodshed until you get something near perfect. You
want that to be you. Grit matters. But it won’t be long until some innovation makes all that effort newly
obsolete. You want that to be you, too.<p>On thinking long term:<p>> Jeff Bezos says that if Amazon has a good quarter it’s because of work they did 3, 4, 5 years ago—not
because they did a good job that quarter. Today’s league-leading Golden State Warriors acquired Draymond
Green, Andrew Bogut, and Klay Thompson almost 4 years ago, nearly 4 years ago exactly, and almost 5
years ago. In this league, the long view picks at the lock of mediocrity<p>Lots of other good gems in this piece.
