[There's a story about Napoleon Bonaparte selecting generals that I love to share with others.
It is said that after his best general died, Napoleon sent one of his chamberlains to find someone capable of taking over the general's position.
A few weeks later, the chamberlain returned and described a perfect candidate for the deceased general, someone with rich military knowledge and strong management skills.
After the chamberlain finished speaking, Napoleon looked at him and said, "Sounds great, but is he lucky?"
Before I achieved real success, Tex Winter often comforted me by saying, "All you lack is a little luck."
This sounds somewhat hurtful, and sometimes I would comfort myself the same way, thinking I was missing some luck.
There are many situations in basketball games that you can't control, which is why most of your energy should be focused on things you can control.
