Cedric Maxwell

that get a guy in this role, or is it the coach?

Which one would you say?

Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds.

I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

But that's why they call some of those guys practice players.

You see a guy you play against all the time.

Larry Bird, all the guys I knew back then.

We'd have someone behind you, and this guy scored like hell.

And then you look at him going, I know goddamn well you ain't going to shoot it in the game.

You're going to pass the damn ball.

You ain't even looking.

You're scared to pee out there.

So I think that's the difference when you think about players and who they are and what they do, you know, of knowing roles.

I think players sometimes define their roles, their fellow players' roles better than them because players, Joe, you've gone to players before and said, man,

You need to give me damn 10 rebounds tonight.

Or, you know, you need to box this motherfucker out right now.

So I think it runs, especially if you have veteran players.

And that's why I think De'Aaron Fox is so smart.

And that's the guy I think to me is the key because he's a veteran player who is holding the ball and is commanding their attention.

But didn't Michael do that, though?
