Fundamentals

"The difference between the Bulls from every other place that I've been -- every coach I've been with in the NBA has been very well organised -- the difference in Chicago was the focus on fundamentals every single day. We started every day with basic drills, footwork, passing, ballhandling. Every single day... The first time I saw Michael and Scottie standing fifteen feet apart throwing two-handed chest passes back and forth for ten minutes, I realised the Bulls were really going to focus on fundamentals. It's the foundation of the game, and if you don't work on 'em, you're not gonna have that foundation." -- Steve Kerr
