But we have others who all try to pitch in a little bit. There is a sense of where we want to go, but it isn't easy getting there. I don't think one person has taken the 'I'm going to shoulder all the responsibility and make sure we get there' attitude. For some teams, it's the coach. For some teams, a certain player.
Older teams tend to have tunnel vision.
Younger teams tend to get distracted by things here and there. We can win games on pure talent. O'Neal, in his second year with the Lakers, missed 31 games last season because of injuries and 21 this season. He's the biggest kid out there. However, O'Neal is determined to fill the role his way.
