‘Early on in Marv’s career and our careers, we knew if we didn’t come together as a team, it didn’t matter how many superstars we had, we wouldn’t make it. He made sure to make each individual understand that if we didn’t put our egos to the side, we wouldn’t achieve our goals. He could communicate to players in a way where we totally understood it. He was never the rah-rah, in-your-face type of guy. It was the old cliché: It’s not what you said, but how you said it. Marv always knew what to say and how to say it.’
