I've mentioned this before on this podcast, but I spent a lot of my teen years on the basketball court.
I loved the sense of belonging it provided, the motivation and the focus it gave me, but also just how fun it was.
Sure, not all of it was fun.
I didn't like losing, I didn't like difficult practices or sitting on a bench at times, but the low teams helped me treasure all the highs.
And to be honest, my favorite memories from that time weren't always on the court.
Maybe that was the most important lesson of all, meaningful work can happen outside of the spotlight and with the rest of your team.
I'm Madupa Akinola.

He's more invested in telling you how to really build a cohesive team.
Then after the talk, I'll return to the role fun plays in all of this.
But first, a quick break.

What if I could tell you that the biggest impact that you can make happens outside the spotlight?
Not by sitting at the head of the table or leading the parade.
what if I told you that you could influence an entire symphony without ever picking up the conductor's wand?
Or in my case, what if I told you you could have the most powerful change in a basketball game not when the ball is in your hands, but by what you do when it's not?" Is that an absurd question to ask?
You see, on the road to the NBA, where I was a starter for the back -to -back, world champion, Miami Heat, just down the road, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Do you know how many hours I practiced?
Thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of hours.
I'd make Malcolm Gladwell blush with all the practice I had with the basketball.
I spent a 1 ,000 hours dribbling the basketball, passing the basketball, shooting the basketball.
I wanted to become one with that pumpkin.
But you know when I played as a starter with LeBron James, and Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, all Hall of Famers.
Do you know how often I actually touch the ball?
Two percent of the time!
Two. So beg to the question, what did I do in the other 98 % of the time when I didn't have the ball to justify starting on the best team in the world, playing at the highest level on planet earth?
That's a crazy question.
What did I do? Well to understand that, you have to go back to when I grew up.
I grew up in a small town outside of Detroit and I had the pleasure of being a misfit.
Everywhere I looked, I was the only kid in town that had a black dad and a white mom.
I had patches on my jeans.
When it rained, my roof leaked.
I had to carry a birth certificate with me to every little league game, you know why?
Because I was so tall no one believed that was the age that I was.
I was a misfit in every way, in a time when I just wanted to fit in.
I grew up mixed, poor, and tall.
But during the chaotic beauty of playground time on recess when I was in first and second grade, that was my time playing basketball, football, sandlot baseball, kicked the can dodgeball ghost in the graveyard but to me those weren't just games those are opportunities to belong and that's when I learned the most powerful lesson in my life the power of we over me the power of we over me and I realized during these games when I help my friends win I wasn't the mix kid I I wasn't the poor kid, I wasn't a freakishly tall kid, I was just a teammate.
I belong. And so I became obsessed with how can I help my friends win?
How can I help my friends look good for love?
I was seeking love.
When's the last time you had to win in the name of being loved.
And that became the entire hallmark of my basketball career ironically, what I learned in kindergarten on the playground.
And I took that with me through my entire NBA career, through two Final Fours at Duke University, a national championship, two NBA titles just down the road, here in Miami.
I was obsessed with what can I do to help my friends and my team win.
And let me tell you I wasn't always glorious.
I wasn't a big scorer, all right?
I didn't have 50 -point games but what I did was I was like the LeBron James of diving on the ball, diving on the floor for loose balls.
I wasn't a fancy dribbler like Dwayne Wade.
But what I was, I was like the Steph Curry of running back on defense.
All right, I wasn't a crazy passer, but what I was, I was a solid inbound passer in end of game situations.
Now, those are not sexy plays at all, okay.
Those are not plays that make someone run into the team store and say, Baddie A.
leads our team in floor burns.
I want his jersey. Those are the plays that I made in the 98 % of the time that I didn't have the ball in my hands, that impacted winning.
In fact, I impacted winning at such a high level that when I retired, I saw a stat about my career.
And on the teams that I played for in my career when I was on the floor, we consistently outscored the opponent by five points a game versus when I was on the bench. Okay?
That puts me in the last three decades, the last 30 years, in the top 97th percentile of every player that played in the NBA.
Right next to guys like Tracy McGrady and the late, great Kobe Bryant.
Now if you ask the average NBA fan, they'd say there's no way that Baddie should be T Mac and Colby.
But there I was for my impact.
You see, it's all about the unseen, the immeasurable, the intangible that matters.
See today we are driven by so many what I call spotlight metrics.
We're always chasing grade point average and salary and you know, we're concerned about the cost of the purse that we carry the car that we drive.
We're concerned about likes, mentions, follows, reposts, right?
Yes, nod your head yes, we're all guilty.
Well those are all what I call spotlight metrics.
They happen when the light's on us.
But those factors, those figures, they miss the most important thing.
How do we elevate others?
Michael Lewis wrote a great profile on me he called the No Stats All Star about how my impact on the basketball court went far beyond the box score.
And you know what the crux of that was?
I lived to make the small plays for others.
So how does that work in the real life?
Simple, small, out of the spotlight actions like mentoring a young person, helping them and their journey.
Something as simple as bending over and picking up a piece of trash and putting it in the garbage, so that everyone can enjoy the natural beauty of a park.
It might be lending a shoulder or an ear to a colleague, a friend or a family member that's going through a tough time.
You see those are unbelievably powerful actions.
They will never show up in any scorecard, any scoreboard, right?
But those are the winning plays that we have to make that create championship teams, whatever your team is.
And when you're doing that you are not just participating, right?
you have a huge role in winning.
That's the fun part, you're only gonna win.
And so, my friends at the Butler University Business School wanted to find people like me who lived to elevate others across industries.
And what they found was that in every winning team and across industries, there were teams right with people who lived to elevate others and they named this, I didn't come up with this, they called it the Baddie effect.
And the Baddie effects very simple.
It's asking yourself the question every single day.
How can I make others better?
What am I doing to increase the collective potential of the group around me, my business, my family, my friends, right?
Because the irony of this is when you elevate others, that is how you create legacy for yourself.
People want to be around you and say there's something about you, but whatever you're connected to just wins.
And isn't that the fun part of all this?
So as we go back to our normal lives after the Ted talk tonight and hear all of inspiring speakers, I want you to ask yourself, what am I doing in my 98 % outside the spotlight?
How am I spending my time, my energy, my talents to elevate others?
Because if you do that you will realize that it is not about being the star.
The value is in being the glue guy, the glue girl, the glue person that makes it all work and you win together and it's an amazing feeling.
So, my friends, that is how you change outcomes.
That is how you change lives and that is how you create legacy.

That was Shane. Badie speaking at TEDxMDC.
I love Shane's message about prioritizing the unseen, the immeasurable and intangible.
We can get a little too obsessed with ourselves and our personal metrics from what our annual review says, to what our wearable devices tell us about our current body battery, but what about the collective?
Shane reminds us that there's a lot of invisible work that can go into the joint effort of team building.
And I'd like to add that this work, though it might not be measurable, is often joyful.
We do notice it in the way we laugh with our coworkers, the way we trust them, the way we feel when we're working in sync, the way we work hard and play hard together.
One thing I'm often thinking about is the power of play.
How can we as adults play more together in our work lives?
Another way to think about this is, how can I create joy for other people at my workplace?
This question isn't about the work, it's about what shows up in the work and makes it better.
That's it for today.
