THE PHOTO ITSELF is one of many that hang in Sam Presti's office. Legendary football coach Bill Walsh is laying on the ground, hands behind his head, seemingly at peace with whatever was about to happen in the Super Bowl his San Francisco 49ers were about to play. Not because he was eminently confident that his team would win.
Because he was prepared.
For as long as Presti has worked from that office as the executive vice president of the Oklahoma City Thunder, that photo has hung as a reminder, as something to strive for.
