Draymond Green: It seems that every single time I think Apple has done all they can with their products, they add something we didn’t know we needed on an iPhone, or watch, or laptop, or…. And if you go to campus you meet a bunch of geniuses ?????? pretty wild The campus itself is mind blowing. The architecture. Super clean, and obviously well thought out. AND, Tim Cook took an impossible job following up Steve Jobs and actually knocked it out the park. Wow! Always take a second to appreciate greatness! Goodnight folks ??

Antetokounmpo's eccentricities are a matter of efficiency, not superstition. Like Barack Obama and Steve Jobs before him, the 24-year-old All-Star aims to eliminate all unnecessary decisions and distractions. Instead of a blue suit or a black turtleneck, Antetokounmpo favors Nike Tech Fleece sweatsuits and has no interest in joining the NBA's nightly pregame fashion shows. "I just want to win," Antetokounmpo says. "All that other stuff takes away from the game, and you just spend extra energy on looking good for five seconds. I don't care about that. I just want to look good on the court. Get the win and go back home and lay on my couch and just watch game film. That's it."
Daryl Morey: Steve Jobs:"It doesnt make sense to hire smart people&tell them what to do;we hire smart people to tell us what to do. Over the years we learned if we ask people to rely on logic&common sense instead of formal policies,most of the time we would get better results,&at lower cost."

Carlisle, meanwhile, had invoked Apple and Microsoft gurus when referencing Curry’s skills. “You’ve just got to try to make it hard on him, but you’re talking about a guy that it’s a little bit like what Steve Jobs has done to our everyday life,” Carlisle said of Curry. “He’s changed the way we live — he and Bill Gates have done that. “Steph Curry is changing the way the game will be played in the future. I’m sure of it, and that’s an historic thing.”
