Talent rules, but...

Talent rules, but...

For a long time, the 1980s and ’90s have been considered the NBA’s “golden years,” first with the Lakers-Celtics rivalry and then with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

  • Whatever its flaws, the NBA is one of the more functional institutions in American society.
  • Talent so plentiful that even the middling teams are full of strong players. The broader lessons for the world economy are very optimistic.
  • Viewed from the present, however, so many of those teams and players seem mediocre.

MVPs come from outside the U.S.

MVPs come from outside the U.S.

In general, today’s NBA talent is better coached, assessed & receives better medical care, making it easier to recover from injuries.

  • The 3 top MVP candidates all come from outside the U.S. — Jokic is from Serbia, Embiid from Cameroon, and Antetokounmpo is from Greece and originally Nigerian.
  • all about seven feet tall, and they are all capable of hitting shots from three-point range.
  • That is a skill most tall stars did not have until recently, and it is a sign of better teaching and training.

Global talent is more accessible than ever

Global talent is more accessible than ever

The NBA shows that it is possible, over time, to do a much better job of both finding and mobilizing talent.

  • most parts of the world are not as well-run as the NBA, so the process will be slower than it ought to be. But it is underway.
  • imagine business and science (and maybe politics?) all improving at the rate of professional basketball.
  • the process will be slower than it ought to be, but it is underway.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.
