A research project found an impressive, if not surprising, correlation between smacking one's teammate on the head and winning lots of games.
From Sports Illustrated:
"The touchy-feeliest teams were the Celtics and the Lakers, both 60-game winners that season, who combined for nearly 100 seconds of touch in games against two separate opponents. The two lead inclined to butt-slappery were the lottery-bound Bobcats and Kings (a paltry 16.5 seconds of touch and 52 wins between them)."
Just one more extension of the apparent truism: Winning teams care about each other.
