Bill Simmons, sportswriter, interviewed by The New Yorker:

I think the next revolution will be more chemistry-based: Teams valuing teamwork and personality more than ever and putting some real thought into how to build a true team. We got a glimpse of this last winter when Phoenix shopped Amare Stoudemire and nobody really wanted him. Why? Because he’s a pain in the ass. He’s not a bad guy, but he’s a me-first prima donna who doesn’t care about defense or making teammates better.
