LITERARY SAUNA

HOW I GOT KICKED OFF THE BASKETBALL TEAM

by
Ray Stillman

“...When you boys go back out on the court, I want you to remember this: you’re not playing for yourselves. You’re playing for the team. I don’t care who makes the basket as long as he’s wearing one of our jerseys. You should be helping each other out. I want to see blocking, I want to see defense, I want to see passing. I know you hate hearing this, but tough—you need to hear it again: remember, boys, there’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’.”
