Once you choose hope, anything's possible. --Christopher Reeve

In the nba, you have teams which pull away with great leads and games that seem impossible to overcome. Obviously, you can't outscore someone and expect to narrow the lead. You gotta buckle down on defense, take possession by possession, handle the ball carefully, and grind it out. You need heart, determination, hustle and faith in upsetting the team thats ahead. It's all heart. The 08 finals, game 4 was amazing. I remember my dad stopped watching cuz BOS was down 20 pts around the 3rd quarter.




Then, BOS grinds it out and they won. It was the greatest Finals upset. Also, lotta ppl consider the NJ-BOS 02 playoff game the greatest comeback, when BOS came back from a huge lead and won.



Furthermore, I remember watching the PHX-DAL double overtime game a few years ago, when they were powerhouses. PHX was down by a huge margin at the half and the following morning, the highlights were incredible and PHX won.









You gotta believe in your teammates and yourselves. You need to have this dogged determination and belief that you will not lose. I once heard, "Either we win or they lose," you need this kind of unwavering mindset; when the crowd doesn't believe in you and it seems bleak, embrace each other and believe in your teammates, your 12 guys and you'll catch up, little by little.

This is another video, of a former player named Rodney Rogers and his explosive and amazing performance in a matter of seconds. You need to believe!
