After dropping the first three games in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics have stormed back to force Game 6 against the Miami Heat (Saturday night).Here are my thoughts on Boston's resurgence, staying present and not getting ahead of ourselves in life. In the middle of this episode, I read an excerpt from David Hollander's riveting book "How Basketball Can Save the World: Thirteen Guiding Principles for Reimagining What's Possible" by David Hollander. I read from the chapter "Basketball as Human Alchemy"Openingmusic: Digable Planets "Rebirth of Slick," 1993clip: Monty Python and the Holy Grail "I'm Not Dead Yet"(09:35-15:30)excerpt from Professor David Hollander's book, "How Basketball Can Save the World: Thirteen Guiding Principles for Reimagining What's Possible" by David Hollander. On Basketball as Human Alchemy."Basketball's human alchemy is an advanced concept like the brain's neuroplasticity. When, like basketball, we are thrown together with the right people and meet the right circumstances and conditions, everyone becomes their new and better selves." Boston, Miami and Denver - NBA Playoffs - teams displaying that alchemy, connectedness and trust.
