Ep. 59 | Ron Harper: 5 Time NBA Champion

Five-time NBA Champion Ron Harper joins It’s All About the Team to share what it really takes to build a championship culture — from growing up in Ohio to winning titles with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers. Harper opens up about the lessons he learned at home, why accepting your role is critical to team success, and what it was like playing alongside Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. From Phil Jackson’s leadership to Tex Winter’s triangle offense, Harper explains how elite teams stay mentally tough, embrace their roles and focus on one thing above all else: “Did you win the game? The bottom line — you win or you lose.” In this conversation, you’ll learn: • How great teams eliminate ego • Why role players win championships • What Phil Jackson taught about calm and focus • The leadership differences between Jordan, Kobe and Magic • Why today’s athletes must think beyond social media highlights • How culture is built — and protected Harper also discusses the importance of discipline, defense, accountability and why “it’s never about you” when you want to build something special. If you care about leadership, culture, business, sports or building winning teams — this episode is for you.
