They say the best coaches are the ones who can “reach” their players. You may have great information to impart, but what good is it if it falls upon deaf ears? With that in mind, the Lakers coaches decided to play a clip from The Hangover to end their video session Monday, Beto Duran reports.
Duran says the meeting’s message was “Wisdom of Wolves – Strength of Wolf in pack, and strength of pack in wolf.” Wisdom of Wolves is a motivational book that preaches teamwork, patience, unity, failure, attitude, communication, play, loyalty and change. To reinforce their message of teamwork and working like a wolfpack, the Lakers staff played this infamous rooftop speech made by Alan in The Hangover:
Pure genius, right? Why didn’t I have coaches like that! My only question is if Kobe, who enjoys comedies, got the same motivation from that movie as his alltime favorite.
