After that blow, Riley was tired of hearing about how much talent

his players had and about how much promise his team held. He didn’t

want to see flashes of brilliance followed by a gradual fade in

performance. He wanted the Lakers to play up to their potential, night

after night. In the summer of 1986, he created a plan to do exactly that,

a system that he called the Career Best Effort program or CBE.

“When players first join the Lakers,” Riley explained, “we track their

basketball statistics all the way back to high school. I call this Taking

Their Number. We look for an accurate gauge of what a player can do,

then build him into our plan for the team, based on the notion that he

will maintain and then improve upon his averages.”

After determining a player’s baseline level of performance, Riley

added a key step. He asked each player to “improve their output by at

least 1 percent over the course of the season. If they succeeded, it

would be a CBE, or Career Best Effort.” Similar to the British Cycling

team that we discussed in Chapter 1, the Lakers sought peak

performance by getting slightly better each day.

Riley was careful to point out that CBE was not merely about points

or statistics but about giving your “best effort spiritually and mentally

and physically.” Players got credit for “allowing an opponent to run

into you when you know that a foul will be called against him, diving

for loose balls, going after rebounds whether you are likely to get them

or not, helping a teammate when the player he’s guarding has surged

past him, and other ‘unsung hero’ deeds.”

As an example, let’s say that Magic Johnson—the Lakers star player

at the time—had 11 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals, and 5

turnovers in a game. Magic also got credit for an “unsung hero” deed

by diving after a loose ball (+1). Finally, he played a total of 33 minutes

in this imaginary game.

The positive numbers (11 + 8 + 12 + 2 + 1) add up to 34. Then, we

subtract the 5 turnovers (34–5) to get 29. Finally, we divide 29 by 33

minutes played.

29/33 = 0.879
