Jackets Team Unity Trick: No Cell Phones

I saw this piece I thought I would share:

"I felt as if we were a family for the first time," Bell said, adding there were tangible benefits on the court. "Trust. More selfless moments out there on the floor."

Some players had to be won over by the idea that they needed to spend time away from their cell phones.

"I don't want to say we never talked," said guard Iman Shumpert. "Not having your cell phone, though we didn't anticipate it having that much of an effect, I think it did have a really big effect.

"Guys are hanging out or getting sleep. It definitely makes you hang around each other, because we're the only people we can talk to."

Hey if it worked for the ACCT then you just have to try it again this week. Sweet 16 here we come!

Why settle for the moon?

When we can reach Mars????

I spun around... and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass.
