00:00You and I work at a basket company.
00:03We are basket makers, it's our job.
00:05We can agree that you make a basket by shooting this ball through this hoop.
00:10But who should do that?
00:12How should we prepare?
00:14What's our design?
00:15Which tools should we use?
00:17How do we make a basket?

01:11Fame.
01:12Politics.
01:13Relationships.
01:14That's not where Shaq vs. Kobe came from.
01:17It eventually spilled into those realms, it got personal.
01:20But this beef was, in its foundation, a feud about work.
01:25About the right way to practice and play basketball.
01:29So I ask again, how do we make a basket?
01:32How do we make a basket?
