Something to think about, for those interested in player evaluation or roster construction. Many have fallen prey to the temptation of simply chasing talent, while ignoring the value of winning traits (unselfishness, work ethic, resiliency, team-oriented, competitiveness, etc.)

Resiliency often separates the good from the elite. The ability to move on or compartmentalize from starting 0/6 from the field, a bad ref, being down 14, a two-game losing streak, etc. The mental toughness to fight back and reverse momentum.
