OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Rashard Lewis

ARCHETYPE

The Navigator

Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.

Rashard Lewis embodies The Navigator, a leader who charted an unconventional route and adapted rather than forced outcomes. Drafted in the second round out of high school and twice passed over for All-Star selection, he answered by recalibrating, shifting from small forward to stretch four and absorbing lessons from Gary Payton and Ray Allen. Positional intelligence, not volume, carried him through 16 seasons and to a 2013 championship, proof that reading the terrain wins.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY NAVIGATOR

My heart bigger than Texas. I'm gonna find the way. I'm gonna survive. And I found a way.

REACTING TO EMOTIONAL DRAFT NIGHT

I played the game to win. I didn't go out there to get numbers and to please the fans. It was all about winning for me.

ON HIS ROLE WITH ORLANDO MAGIC

I wasn't used to shooting those threes. Everything was hard. But I actually became a good three-point shooter in the league because of those workouts.
