Miami Heat tried to build a dream team around LeBron James and two other stars and LeBron promised that they would win some championship, but they struggled to even win close games in the regular season so the next year instead of picking up another star, they added Shane Battier and Shane told me people were not impressed and people looked him on limitations and say oh bad he is not athletic and he doesn't run pick-and-roll and you can't really dribble but here's the weird thing when Shane was on the court every one of his teams was statistically more likely to win.

I asked Michael Lewis the author of Moneyball to explain it so he wasn't athletic enough to to stop Kobe Bryant but he was smart enough and kind of canny enough to force Kobe Bryant to two places on the floor where he was a less efficient shooter so he's doing all these things that are very valuable that no star would bother to do

We see the same pattern in NBA basketball you are actually better off with two stars on the court than four and the same is true in wall street teams the secret ingredient that role players bring is humility

Humility is underrated it gets a bad rap it sounds like a sign of weakness but in the best teams with the best leaders is actually a source of strength it keeps us from best off from resting on our laurels because we know that excellence is not about believing that you're the best it's actually about always striving to get better
