in my first year of college, i met a dude named alex heidengren (we called him axel). he had a contagious love for God and absolute heart for worship. he encouraged me to make Christ look great in any and every situation. axel's home with the Lord now, but i still think about him pretty often. you wont believe how much he taught and even continues to teach me. i'll miss him a whole lot, yet i live with the hope that he currently stands worshipping Almighty God. all that to say... i've got this friend named Jesus. and knowing Him changes everything. He conquered death and that means more to me now than it ever did. Jesus saves unworthy sinners. (fb throwback- circa 2009)

“When you think about the great leaders of Silicon Valley, they tend to fall broadly into one of three buckets: engineering, business, or product. The engineers drive innovation and invention. They make things work. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is the archetypical engineer, who built a company out of the hacker ethos. The business leaders are often the so-called disrupters. They reimagine supply and distribution, make deals in often cutthroat fashion, and corner markets. This is Apple’s Tim Cook, who pioneered supply chains in China and built the company into a financial juggernaut. The product types are those who can focus in on what makes something not just useful, but great and beautiful. They translate human engineering into humanity. Steve Jobs is the ultimate product guy. But running a massive company, like Facebook or Apple or Google, requires more than one of these skill sets.”

Memorable Thoughts:
They all really do appear to be having way too much fun. And if that's not something Jordan would admire, so be it.
"It's just joy," U'Ren says. "We don't have a mean streak or think it's 'us against the world.' It's a love for each other and a love for the game."

They met at a private airport terminal in Oklahoma City after one of Kerr's TNT broadcasts. He brought a binder full of notes and observations about the Warriors. It was so impressive, the Warriors tried to hire him on the spot. Kerr took a few days to mull the decision.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kerr learned a lot from those years in Phoenix, but not the lesson you'd assume. He learned about trust and how important it is to build at every level of an organization. He and D'Antoni never fully trusted each other's motivations. Kerr was ownership's handpicked guy, and D'Antoni was never sure if he was a true believer in his vision of basketball.
When Kerr took over the Warriors, he was determined to build trust with his players and staff from the beginning. It's hard to trace all of the ways he built that trust. It was just obvious once he had.
Early on, during a light practice, Kerr told the team to get some shots up, treatment, conditioning, whatever they felt they needed. They were all professionals. He trusted them to know what their body would respond to. He did not give specific instructions, except to say, "Get what you need."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's amazing what you can accomplish when no one cares who gets the credit."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jordan was a singular person with an approach that worked for him. But not every great player or team is motivated by anger or spite. There are teams that run on love and joy. The one that won the title Tuesday night is coached by a guy who took the punch from MJ and kept smiling.

Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl lets go and learns the power of trust.
"I needed to be humbled, and I was," Karl said. "I'm sure I was more fiery or confrontational or demanding. I had an insecure ego. I was a young guy. A lot of people thought I could coach, but I didn't know how to handle the responsibility of coaching."
"I was trying to learn how I wanted to coach," he said. "The first couple of years I was coaching like Don Nelson and then I was coaching like Hubie Brown and then I was coaching like Larry Brown. I didn't have my identity."
