In 1984, Nike was dying in basketball shoes.

Adidas was the king - the brand every player dreamed of wearing.

Then, Adidas made the most expensive mistake in sports history and handed Nike their empire.

Here's the full story: 🧵

Zero pick pocket attempts in europe so far. Do my pockets not look abundant? Am I not immersed in the moment? Humiliating.

Perhaps flourishing is less about seeing reality as it really is and more about adopting the right reality distortion field at the right time while not getting caught up in the contradictions along the way.

e.g. When playing to win, treating it as the only thing that matters seems more conducive to winning. When you're not likely to win, seeing the game as a stepping stone to something greater is a more productive mindset (Finite game vs Infinite game). But if you see the game as a stepping stone when you're trying to win, you might not put it all on the line in the same way. So you have to adopt two contradictory different mindsets at two different times, without doubting yourself along the way. Like Giannis here switches mindsets on a dime once the situation changes. If you had asked him before game 1 if the season would be a failure if he lost, I imagine he'd say something closer to yes—"we must win this year". Now that that option is off the table, a narrative of "you win some years, you lose some years, it's a stepping stone" is a more productive mindset. Emphasize agency when you can influence the situation, emphasize "the journey" when you can't.

We do this all the time. While it may sound hypocritical, we couldn't function otherwise. That's why so many proverbs contradict each other. We have to psych ourselves to adopt the right mindset at the right time.
