NBA veteran and current San Antonio Spurs player David West offers these great thoughts on the Spurs, which can be applied to any player and any team:

"We have a team full of coaches," he said. "There is a constant information flow that comes from everyone, and everybody is chugging in the same direction. Nobody is pulling off to the left or right, with personal stuff and egos and things like that."  West continues, "Every moment, every play means something...That's what I wanted. Every game, every possession means the world to us."
