Even their opponents were in awe –  some of the opposing players were rumored to have asked for autographs following the games.

Entrepreneur Lesson: There’s no substitute for surrounding yourself with the best possible team. With the right players, there’s no limit to what you can accomplish. Don’t compromise on talent, and hold yourself to the lofty expectations people will place on you.
