Kobe & Curry Kept Their Heads In The Game

     Something remarkable happened this past week that may have gone unnoticed.  Kobe Bryant played his last game as a Professional Basketball Player and scored 60 points and Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors played their last game of the regular season and set an all time record for wins in the regular season at 73 wins and 9 losses.  Both of these accomplishments are worthy of note.  I was more impressed by something that didn’t happen by either of these professionals that night.
       We all of a sudden live in a world dominated by Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.  It seems like this is the primary method that people use to communicate.  People take pictures of food, cats, sunrises, sunsets and anything else they possibly can in lieu of actually communicating with each other.  What didn’t happen Wednesday night is both players kept their head in their respective games and neither player took to Twitter to talk about the game they were playing in.  Both players did something uncommon and simply showed up and did what they were supposed to do.  No distractions.  No alternative agenda.  They showed up and gave 100% and each got the outcome they desired and worked for.
How often have you worked with someone ranging from a high placed manager to a part time cashier who seemed far more interested in what else was going on as opposed to what was currently going on that they have influence over.  From sports to business the area of social media is gaining importance for all the wrong reasons.  It comes down to the basics and doing what works.  For most Twitter will never be a profit center.
