Steve Kerr Legacy and the Future of USA Basketball: What’s Next?

Steve Kerr’s Legacy and the Future of USA Basketball: What’s Next? When we think about USA Basketball, one name that has been synonymous with success is Kerr. Having secured multiple NBA championships as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Kerr stepped into the international spotlight when he became the head coach of the USA Basketball men’s team. But, as the winds of change blow, it…

With the season-ending loss, now that looming 3-peat pressure is off of them. They can rest, regroup and come back ‘25 clearheaded without that particular challenge on their shoulders. All of them.

They should really be proud for even staying in the race for the playoffs. Because this fight to be in the spot was a struggle all season. Despite how critical I have been with the Aces, I am proud of them! They really did put up a hard fought battle for 40 games! Especially with all the lineup setbacks against them — not having your point guard for most of the 1st half of the season was not easy to deal with. But they kept themselves in it!

Ms. A’ja “1’000-MV’3” Wilson….standing ovation to you sis! Really, the most amazing season I have ever witnessed from a player! The love of basketball was reignited for me because of you to where I even started watching the game in an entirely different, more analytical way than I’ve ever have before with the way you played! Against all that came with this season….you made us sooo proud! We’re sooo proud of you. We luv ya!

Tiffany “TIP” Hayes, you’ve been the secret sauce that the team needed and you showed up! You made coming out of retirement look like it was so easy!

Both of their awards were such icing to the historic season they gave themselves and us! And to Jackie, Kelsey and Chelsea…making TEAM USA alone is an accomplishment to be super proud of. Pushing through injuries (especially Chelsea) and personal situations (Kelsey), (Jackie with both) isn’t easy to do but y’all did it. Helped to bring gold! Megan and Tiffany making their respective country rosters as well and showing up big for their teams. And they’ve shown they belong with the Aces too. Kate, we’re ready to see that breakout for next season—I know she’s gained so much already that’ll shine for her sophomore year and onward. Alysha, if you’re retiring ma’am, thank you for every season with this team! That second chip was absolutely won in major part on your big guard but actually undersized energy! Sydney, your aura itself on the floor and on the sidelines and in-between games for your teammates has been the encouragement they needed and has been the entertainment for us! Kiah and Kiersten, their unnoticed fulfillment they provided to the team I doubt we’ll ever truly understand as fans but even so, it’s appreciated. Queen, we didn’t really get to see much (but with the little, I seriously saw there’s some hidden gems there) but everyone spoke highly of you and that means something.

It hurts as a fan so we know they’re crushed and hurting worse than we are. We, I, they really wanted this series to extend to definitely have that 3-peat opportunity. It sucks!

‘25 is unleashing a new appetite for them! They’ll be ready for another chip!

thanks, aces ♠️♠️

Team Usa should never play at worlds again. You are all so thick in the head when it comes to defense.

excuse me i just need to scream abt soccer for a second

Down all game and coming back and still getting gold…I guess that’s what the tournament/Olympics is about! It makes the best Ws!

This was the most terrible win ever lol!

Chile can barely be peacefully happy with this Gold😭. The stress they put us thru!

Like there’s noooo way it should be a 1 point win. France should absolutely be proud of themselves. We literally just about handed the W to them. But who cares—a WIN is a WIN!

Kerr should be tarred and feathered in the town square

HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY & CHAOS IS NOT HUSTLE

Disrupt, Pivot, Digital, Ideate, New Normal, Unprecedented, Hustle, Hope… just some Buzzwords of recent times! The words are good to use or should I say abuse today and I find a lot of founders of new businesses are struggling to cope up with the ambiguous environment.

“You can’t have a million-dollar dream with a minimum-wage work ethic.” Stephen C. Hogan said this better than I could have. Having discussions with start ups I am constantly observing the struggle of the leaders of the business going with the flow rather than setting themselves a clear strategy.

My pick (read rant) today is on two words – Hope and Hustle.

I do understand that organizations are more flat today and working in virtual environments gives everyone a bit more comfort at work. However businesses still need to function on key principles and need to have clear accountability tied to timelines. Even if you run an organization of 3 people the fact that its a organization you need to lay down clear OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and tie individual KPI aligned to them. Businesses cannot thrive in chaos of a love fest (all good people saying all good things!) and hope is never a strategy.

The other word I want to pick on is “Hustle”. Don’t get me wrong, Hustle is a great word and it means to be the hardest worker in the room (my definition). However, running in random directions in the name of activity is not Hustle but Chaos. Hustle is focusing your energy is a specific direction and giving it your 200%. This goes back to the first point…if you don’t have clarity of direction you cannot hustle !

English is a great language and it unifies a lot of us across geographies and age groups by enabling communication however important thing to remember is, language is not really absolute but contextual and its not enough to use words or buzzwords but also get behind the meaning of those words in context.

Starting a business is not just knowing what you will do but also knowing and articulating what you won’t do !

Finally, leaving you with my favorite quote – Fail to plan is plan to fail !

In today's ever-changing business landscape, it's crucial for startups to establish clear strategies and objectives. Engaging a Fractional Chief Sales Officer (CSO) can provide the necessary expertise to align goals and drive growth. For businesses navigating complexities, sales consultancy offers valuable insights and guidance. Implementing structured sales training helps focus efforts, ensuring that hustle translates into meaningful progress rather than chaos. A comprehensive B2B toolkit empowers companies to manage challenges with clarity and precision. Remember, the adage "fail to plan is plan to fail" underscores the importance of sales strategy consulting to develop actionable plans and achieve success.
