The Philadelphia 76ers basketball team has no player averaging more than 16 points a game. They're criticized as not being championship-caliber because of their lack of a go-to scorer with the game on the line.
"We're in the middle of the road here," says coach Doug Collins, "but something really good is going to happen, and [players are] going to want to play in Philadelphia."
He's talking about their team chemistry. They go the extra mile for each other. Cross the country in the off-season to work out together. Or attend birthday parties for each other. They make the extra pass.
Having lived it for a season on the sidelines, I'd have to agree. Patience and attitude make the difference. In time, the rewards will come.
