March Madness is here, pick your favorite. 30 years watching basketball, and thanks to MAX's series, Winning Time, that portrays the best years of those Magic and Kareem Lakers, I've been able to recall how beautiful the game was back then. Today, I've learned to enjoy NCAA's basketball more because I find their commitment to the game and team more pure, honest, legit, as the street would say. It's in this competition, starting today, where the most competitive basketball there is takes the court. As we gear up for March Madness, it's not just about the thrilling games on the court—it's also a reminder of the competitive edge that drives success, both in sports and in business. The dedication, teamwork, and relentless pursuit of victory showcased by NCAA teams serve as a powerful example of what can be achieved when individuals come together with a shared goal. Just as teams vie for glory on the basketball court, businesses compete in their respective industries, striving to outperform rivals and achieve success. Let's harness the spirit of competition seen in March Madness to drive innovation, collaboration, and success in our own endeavors. Enjoy the games, and may the best team prevail! Starts today, so follow it up and enjoy. My team? I enjoy Cinderella's type of stories, and years back, I enjoyed Gonzaga quite a bit. Now, let's see what they bring, but it seems the glory will be reserved for a top team; my guess is Duke. Tune in and enjoy. https://lnkd.in/eUftrRwT
