In today's instant gratification society, people forget that you must learn to fail before you can learn to succeed.

You must learn obey before you can command.

The last I heard CB, Charles Barkley is 6'6".
You must follow before you lead.

Funny anecdote at the beginning of McCoskey's game write-up:

Quote:

After Amir Johnson had his wind expelled by a flagrant elbow from Shaquille O'Neal in the second quarter, a fan behind the Pistons' bench shouted, "We aren't soft anymore, Detroit."

Really?

The Pistons went on Sunday to hand the Shaq-hardened Suns their worst loss of the season and worst loss ever to a Pistons team -- 116-86.

What's interesting is the implication of being "soft" to begin with. Since they lost Ben Wallace, the impression has been Detroit has been Charmin. Maxey is changing that.

That's why it cracks me up when people talk about the new Pistons & Celtics rivalry before they even played a game against one another. DET v. BOS wasn't a rivalry in 1986. DET was a joke to them at that point. It might be safe to say it didn't become a rivalry until the series where Zeke threw the ball away. (Going way off the top of my head here, might be glossing over huge details.)
