    It's probably better translated as "mental strength", "strength of will", "mettle", "grit", etc. or even "strength of spirit". The word "spiritual" has strong religious/metaphysical connotations in English and I think that's what people are objecting to. What Yao Ming said is not religious/metaphysical at all.

    that's why luthers shot is almost always long or short, but never wide.

    Well, close.

    I believe it means more on the aspects of will, willingness, confidence, team chemistry, attitude, or even focus, in comparison to the skills, game plans, tactics, strategy, practice, speed, energy, etc.

    It means mental strength. The word "spiritual" has some other implications.
