Gil Brandt Boat Quotations

You can have the talent at one level, but when you get to the next level, it just doesn't happen. It's like the young guy selling insurance. One year, he sells $6 million of life insurance, and then his bosses say, 'Wait until he really learns how to sell.' But then he's got a boat and a country-club membership, and all of a sudden, he's not as good. That's what happens with players.

They missed the boat initially, but the guys have made up lost ground. They went from being not the greatest to very efficient.
