JEFF VAN GUNDY ON 'TALENT'

When most people talk about 'talent' they are simply talking about athleticism...meaning speed, quickness, jumping, size, strength, etc.  This isn't a track meet -- other things matter.  Skill level is a talent.  Intelligence is a talent.  Decision making is a talent.  Toughness, both mental and physical, is a talent.  Energy and intensity are talents.  Forget 'talent' and focus on production and consistency.
