Why the Flex Offense? That’s easy, because it is based on the concept of constant motion, with every player understanding the positions and roles on the court. It’s the offense that is about the system, not the star.
Similar to this show, it’s about the people and the opportunities that made us who we are. Nobody does anything great on their own. Each episode, Mike and his guests run their version of the Flex Offense to highlight the lessons and experiences that shaped them.
