I thought I was fast and could outrun everybody and tried to, you know, I wanted to score. It's almost the opposite of my basketball game. I was just going to say, that's not what you were. And so when you look at the things I learned in soccer about passing, you know, give and go was something that I learned in soccer. It was one of the oldest plays in basketball as a third grader. And so

And then just taking dribbling from my feet to my hands. And so being able to be coordinated with the lower half of your body as a third or fourth grader, a lot of times we're not right. It's the other way around. We learn how to use our hands first instead of our feet. So I felt I had the advantage there. of coordination.

And so there is a lot of similarities when you talk about angles, passing, creating space, being able to create lanes, and then patience, being able to execute the play. And so that goes for both soccer and basketball.

You know what that is? I think that's Nash's a soccer game in, um, in the park in New York. I think it's something anyway, you look good.

Yeah, I think one, anytime you're asked to represent your country, I think it's an honor. Any ill will or hard foul or a buzzer beater, those things are never brought into the meeting room day one.

He felt that he can manage those big egos when you talk about Kobe, LeBron, D-Wade, Melo. He wanted that because he felt that we needed that to be able to be successful, and he was 100% right. But I think it's when you can have one goal, and that's just winning the gold medal. There is no who's the leading scorer, who's the leading assist, or who leads in rebounds or minutes.

one goal is just to win the game and that's it and move on to the next game until you are holding that gold medal and listening to that national anthem. And so I've been very fortunate to play on two national teams in 2000 in Australia and then 08 in China. And I thought that both teams have one goal and that was just to win a gold medal. And it was
