It takes courage to take the last shot. To accept the accountability that comes with the unproportional impact of your actions on the outcome for your team.

But it takes even more courage to pass it up.

Not because you’re scared, but because you can acknowledge that, in the current situation, you aren’t the right person to take the shot for your team.

Whether it’s because of the look the defense gives, your individual matchup, or simply because there’s a better option on the court for your team – it takes a special kind of leader to take a supporting role and let their teammates go to work.
