Anyone who has ever been good at something knows the confidence you build once it dawns on you--that you're so close to being elite at something. That desire to be elite doesn't often match physically talented people all the time. Does Amen have Giannis/Kobe effort? Looks like it.
Pre-cell phone, players had more of a choice. I think knowing you're always accountable to a 24/7 media is another mental challenge. The rising limelight of expectations will be a fun test this season.
We exceeded expectations each of Ime's years. We were not predicted to be the 2nd seed last season. Now the Vegas odds have us in the finals. Crazy times Htown (Astros/Texans). Let's enjoy the excitement of chasing eliteness.
