How to Teach and How to Learn. Tim Duncan is likely the greatest power forward in the history of the NBA.

Five titles, three NBA titles, MVP's 15 All-Star appearances, 15 All-NBA Team selections, 15 NBA All-Defensive Team selections.

He had the most devastating turnaround jumper off the glass that basketball has ever seen and he did it with a selflessness and a poise that is almost unmatched.

Almost as the operative word, of course, because Duncan was helped along on his journey to greatness by his predecessor and teammate David Robinson.

How did these two superstars connect? How did one mentor the other?

Duncan, who was recently inducted in the basketball hall of fame, explained,

people always ask, what did he tell you? What did he show you? I don't remember one thing we sat down and talked about specifically. He said, but what he did was he was a consummate pro. He was an incredible father.

He was an incredible person and he showed me how to be a good teammate, a great person to the community, all those things, not by sitting there and telling me how to do it, but by being that.

The stoic said we're better off embodying our philosophy rather than talking about it. Marcus really said that it was a waste of time to speculate or argue about what makes a good man, a good athlete, a good teammate.

Our job, he said, was B1. Similarly, the famous screenwriters Maximus show don't tell.

And it is this that explains the incredible culture of the San Antonio Spurs beginning with David Robinson who tutored Tim Duncan, by example, who in turn instructed Tony Parker and Manu Genobli, who in turn instructed Patty Mills, the last remaining player from that championship run, who is in turn modeling for a team of newer younger players.

And this is how it goes in sports in life for parents. Sure, we can talk all we want. We can have great conversations, but what matters is what we model. What matters is what we are for ourselves. And of course, for those looking up to us.
