Larry is breaking it down into small increments of playing time and intensity. Roles, indentity and chemistry is being created.

These guys are used to being taken off the leash and yelled at to do it, but the minutes and money still come. That time is over. Larry is successful and generally lasts 4 years cuz after a while they want to kill him. this is very intense training. Repetition in small doses. Get it right over and over again, learn, do it again. Steph-Marbs are athletic stars who care less about fundamentals cuz they were able to get by, and succeed on raw athletic talent! ANd get paid millions.

The message Larry sent about Allan being the best player is Allan was the best fundamental player we had! Im not talking about what he did not do, but what he excelled at and what kept him on the court (when healthy). Allan did not posess the tools of Jamal or steph, but was a coaches son who learned early the fundamantals and mastered them. JOrdan took his raw talent and became superior because he put the two together.

The great ones do this, and the opportunity exists for Craw and Steph to do this. They are young enough. It prolongs careers and leads to a winning environment.

Jerome James Needs to adopt this, he said all the right things, but its evident he did not put in the time.

Professoinal basketball players is not an easy job, and some are in it to cash in and don't have their hearts in it. But Larry is either going to break these kids or they are so gone!
