    I used to listen to the weirdest music with my teammates working out. It's awesome bonding time.

    By the way, look at that open key Ingram drove into. Best part of that video.

    You guys are still caught up in the "bonding" and "chemistry" myth? I prefer Kobe and Shaq wanting to shoot each other and WINNING. Winning should be the formula, not grab assing in the locker room. If they want grab a**, they would have kept Swaggy P.

    It's great to have good chemistry. You can't use Kobe and Shaq as a litmus test for friction making a team a winner. Shaq and Kobe were the two best players in the league whose games meshed perfectly. That's going to win regardless of their feelings. Chemistry allows for the type of ball movement the Warriors have. When players start hating each other, they stop passing to each other.

    Wut? Had Kobe and Shaq had good chemistry, they would have won at least 5 rings IMO. Their constant feud surely did not help on court

    our coach once told us that if we won X consecutive games, that we could choose the warm up music without his approval. we chose jimmy buffet, just to mess with the audience/opposition.

    That's excellent. We would play dueling banjos just to piss off our old coach.

    True, but the Warriors get along pretty well with the exception of some Draymond Green arguments. They've only added to their talent with the environment they've created there, drawing Durant there. On the other side, Cleveland doesn't seem to bond as well and that team is falling apart. Also the 2008-2010 Lakers were reportedly the closest teams Kobe was probably ever a part of and that's when we went to the Finals and won and Kobe got his one MVP award. I remember they even came out with that one study about teams that high-five and such the most, and the Lakers topped the list the at least one of years they won. Bonding and chemistry matter big time, trust is huge in winning it all.

    We fall in love with mediocrity too much. That's what happens when losing happens. No more "energy" guys. Please. If I hear team guy and energy guy for a 26 win team again I'm gonna throw up all over Sirron's gifs.
