It takes my team a year to really learn how

Important it is to use the entire day to prepare

For a game.

It's rewarding to see individuals do what

They’re doing. But it's also rewarding to get

Them to understand they need each other,

Because this is a team sport.

And I said this before, Pat Riley said to me,

One of the best compliments …

Your players are all good teammates in this league.

They come in this league and they understand.

They share.

As a team, the biggest thing is everyone is connected.

Everyone is for each other. And we still have a couple

Of guys that aren't quite the servant leaders that they

Need to be. Like I'm playing for everyone else.

Well, if I've got a whole team of guys doing that,

I'm not playing for me; I'm playing for everybody else,

That’s when this thing takes off.

We're getting closer, but that's probably the

One thing I hope.

- Coach John Calipari
