A father talking about his son... "Hey, if he loses and tried his best, then he knows he tried his best and just moves on. I think that is going to make him succeed in life."
Talk about a setup for failure. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not), but isn't that a terrible message to be sending... ANYone? Whatever happened to bettering yourself or overcoming obstacles? Life isn't the Special Olympics, Discouraging Father.
Some possible slogans for that household:
"Settle for mediocrity!"
"We're #2!"
"A is for Average!"
"< Giveup 3"
And completely unrelated:
"No one thinks it'll work.." "You just described every great success story."
Kudos to whoever knows which movie that's from.

I don't think the dad is trying to promote mediocrity. I think he is trying to say that if his son has tried his best and failed at something, then let the failure go as in don't linger on it. If you get a bad test score, move on to the next one with a clear mind cause there isn't anything you can do about that test now. I'm sure Kobe isn't thinking about his last missed potential game winner when he is about to take another one. Just another viewpoint of the scenario.
