When More is Less, and Less is More

Team chemistry is that intangible ingredient that will make or unmake a team. It refers to the synergy, cohesion and healthy relationships among teammates. It provides the supportive environment that leads to cooperation, and ultimately, success. Thus, in a team sport like basketball, the acquisition of star players may not necessarily lead to success. They have to fit in, they have to gain the trust and confidence of everyone in the team. They have to strive to optimize the bond that keeps the team focused on one goal.
