As Rockets play more zone defense, Alperen Sengun credits Steven Adams
'That's why zone defense really worked for us,' Alperen Sengun says of Houston's changing schemes. 'It's all about being smart and reading the game.' Late in the 2024-25 NBA season, the Houston Rockets found surprising success utilizing two-center lineups featuring both starter Alperen Sengun and backup Steven Adams. The advantages in size, rebounding, and physicality were obvious, but there were always questions regarding how it could hold up in space, defensively. To mitigate that, head coach Ime Udoka often utilized a zone defense when Sengun and Adams shared the floor, and it fared relatively well. So, who deserves the credit? Via his recent Turkish interview with with Socrates Dergi, Sengun gives much of the credit to his veteran backup. Regarding Adams and the zone, Sengun said (translated via English subtitles): Steven was really effective in the zone. He talks a lot. He's got a ton of experience. He knows where to stand and directs me and Jabari (Smith Jr.) a lot. We adapted super quickly. Steven and I kind of run things from the back. We talk constantly. I'm talking to Jabari, Steven is talking to me. And when Fred (VanVleet) is out there, too... Fred is so smart, he always knows exactly where to be. That's why zone defense really worked for us. It's all about being smart and reading the game. To that end, even though Adams is clearly a starting caliber center in the NBA and has functioned as one for most of his career, Sengun is glad to have him around. 'The day he signed with us, I immediately called our head coach (Udoka) and GM (Rafael Stone),' Sengun said. 'Having such a great big man behind you might have bothered another player, but I was really happy.' 'I learn a lot from him,' Sengun concluded. 'He focuses entirely on us being the best we can be. He's a great veteran. Steven's main focus is for us to get better.' With the Rockets having recently signed a third starting-caliber center in Clint Capela, expect even more double-big lineups and zone defensive schemes in the upcoming 2025-26 season.

Even All-Stars Drop The Ball: What Business Leaders Can Learn From Julio Rodríguez And The Little League World Series
On Sunday night, one of the best events in all of sports unfolded—not because of the standings, but because of the setting. The New York Mets defeated the Seattle Mariners in the MLB Little League Classic, a game played at the Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, annual home of the Little League World Series. Yes, both teams are wild card contenders fighting for a postseason berth, but the true meaning of this game reached far beyond baseball. Each year, this event becomes one of the crown jewels of the LLWS, where kids from around the world gather to compete, learn, and—perhaps most memorably—rub elbows with their heroes. For Mariners star center fielder Julio Rodríguez, the experience was personal. He grew up watching the Little League World Series on television. Now, he found himself in Williamsport, interacting with the next generation of ballplayers. In fact, Rodríguez even turned the tables by asking the kids for help—specifically, how to ride a cardboard sled down the famous Williamsport hill. 'I just asked for some quick lessons,' Rodríguez admitted. 'I knew I was gonna do it. I just needed some quick reassurance and all of that.' That exchange—an All-Star asking kids for advice—says everything about leadership in today's world. Rodríguez didn't posture. He didn't pretend to know it all. He modeled vulnerability in a way that resonated far beyond baseball. And on the field, he did the same. Rodríguez, one of the brightest young stars in Major League Baseball, had a rough night in front of the youngsters. In the second inning, he misjudged a Francisco Alvarez drive in the smaller confines of Bowman Field, turning what should have been an out into a double that scored a run for the Mets. In the fifth, he called off teammate Dominic Canzone on a routine pop fly off Francisco Lindor's bat—only to drop it, handing the Mets another run. The kids in the stands reacted just like kids do: mouths open, hands covering their faces, disbelief on full display. How could Rodríguez—the guy with highlight reels and endorsements—drop such a routine play? How could he do something…just like us? But then, something clicked. They realized that even the best in the world are human. Even stars make mistakes. And maybe, just maybe, that truth makes greatness feel a little more attainable. For business leaders, that lesson is gold. Too often, we fall into the trap of believing that leadership requires perfection—that mistakes must be hidden, that weakness cannot be shown. Yet the reality is the opposite. Vulnerability builds trust. Openness builds connection. Dale Wilsher, a respected voice on personal development, put it well, in a piece at Forbes. 'Vulnerability in the workplace involves an open recognition of our limitations,' Wilsher noted. 'This does not imply a resignation to these limitations but a strategic acceptance. Knowing your weaknesses allows you to focus on amplifying your strengths without wasting energy hiding or obsessing over your flaws. This acceptance is liberating and enables professionals to allocate their time and resources more effectively.' Danaya Wilson, the cofounder and CEO of BetterCertify, went even further in a piece at Forbes last month. 'In a world that prizes stoicism in leadership, vulnerability is often overlooked. However, studies show that authentic leaders build stronger teams and positively impact the well-being of others,' Wilson wrote. 'Vulnerability is not a weakness—it might just be a leader's superpower. When you choose openness, you build trust, inspire courage, and invite real connection. Lead bravely. The world needs leaders like us.' That was on display in Williamsport. A weekend filled with sliding down hills on cardboard, conversations in the shade, and laughter between professionals and children became a master class in authentic connection. Rodriguez summed up his pre-game conversations perfectly: 'It was just a quality moment. I feel like at the end of the day, I know I'm somebody they look up to and they don't really get a chance to have an off-the-field conversation, hanging on a hill in the shade. They really don't get a lot of experiences like that. I just feel like it's my way of giving back and keep encouraging them to do their best. 'If we don't impact the youth and the people around us in a positive way, we're doing this for nothing. That's how I see it,' he added. A few hours later, he went out and made two errors, proving his humanity. For leaders in business—or in any arena—the challenge is clear. Our legacy is not defined by our résumés or our balance sheets. It's defined by the moments when we take off the uniform, step off the stage, and choose to connect. Sometimes, that means asking for advice when we don't have the answers. Sometimes, it means owning mistakes in full view of the people who look up to us. And sometimes, it simply means riding down a hill on a cardboard sled, showing the next generation that greatness isn't about never falling—it's about always getting back up.
