My job ain't to sit out there like, woo, woo, woo. That wasn't my responsibility. But I did find respect. I did look at the respect that I got amongst my peers that knew I'm not making this shot but 29% of the time, but you guarding me like I'm Ray Allen, one of the greatest three-point shooters ever. That's respect right there. So now I'm going to back cut your ass.

Did you say you have the best pump fake? I stole it from Sam Cassell. Oh, Sam Cassell. I stole it from Sam Cassell. I just added my own little mix to it, but I got it from Sam Cassell.

Well, I watched him do it and I was like, he's coming up the court hella slow. It's the slowest pump fake ever and everyone's jumping. and going for it. So because I wasn't a three point shooter, and because I will come downhill at a player, the defense natural reaction is to stop you from scoring. The closer you get to the basket, the more you wanna stop someone from scoring.

Now I'm really gonna pump fake you the closer I get in. And so everyone's job is to jump, close out, jump. If I create space and I get you a step off, your job is to recover. How do you recover? And so for me, it's just, it's the law. I understand the body. I understand like, all right, you gotta, you're gonna come back and I'm gonna do this and you have to contest my shot.

You don't want me to score. So I'm gonna give you this. You're gonna jump. I'm gonna act like you did something to me and I'm gonna go to the free throw line. So to me, it was like, it's all about, you gotta have patience. You know, I talked about this, and I talk about this all the time. A lot of players, when they get closer to the rim, they lose patience.

A lot of players, when they get closer to the rim, they lose patience.
That's when you got to have your most patience, the closer you get. Because the defense has less patience. Right. When you are in scoring, and when you're in scoring position, the defense gets a little erratic, and they want to strip you or block your shot. That's when I'm really going to hit you with these slow-ass pump fakes. Yeah. Totally different speed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
