This is very common in China and Europe (for soccer, not sure about bball, but I think it's the same) and it's highly effective. You build the rapports with teammates because, well, you eat, sleep, practice with them night-in and night-out. There seldom have conflicts between teammates and players play like a 'team'. Maybe all the Lakers should sleep together???!!!
