My competitive spirit gonna feel like game 39, game two, game three of the playoffs. I'm catching vibe. And it rubs off on you. My ability to be focused and shoot around and treat each game like a championship game, that shit rubs off on you. And next thing you know, yeah, you playing 82 games, but you treating the motherfuckers all like playoff games too. So the energy is different.
The competitive spirit is there more when I'm on a team.
Yeah, I can't.
And at the same time, I'm the player also that's still trying to prove myself. Yeah. So I'm like, okay, fuck it. This guy's not playing. Okay, this is my time to come up and show every motherfucker, yeah, I can score it. Oh, this guy's not playing. Okay, cool. Let me lock his ass up. So it's always an opportunity for me. I always took it as an opportunity to showcase my talents also.
Yeah, that's my dog. I just, they're a short time, but like, When you go to the playoffs with a team, right, and you go through not only the playoffs but like ups and downs with a team, right? And then you go through the playoffs, you go through the ups and downs, then you go through injuries with a team, right? I mean, that's everything you can ask for in sports, all summed up in one.
And to have a chance where that happened all from my time there until the playoffs, it made us, okay, fuck it, no Giannis. We got to get closer. We got to get better. Oh, fuck it. No Middleton. Oh, fuck it. We got to get better. We got to get closer. Fuck it. No Dame. Oh, fuck it. We got to get better. We got to get closer. It just made you a tight-knit-ass family.
You know, and then, you know, you have those opportunities, the playoffs, the guy's not healthy, everyone's rooting against you, you're on the road. It forces a bond that, you know, you don't get from a lot of teams.
Yeah. So it was one time I was with the Lakers and – And we were playing in Boston and I think I just got a tip dunk or I think I just hit a big shot and I'm at the free throw line and I missed a free throw. And then Bron gave me a look like, come on man, make your motherfucking free throw. And I'm like, oh shit. You're right. But now, I take that.
I think I've only missed three free throws this entire year. And I remember that. That was my motivation to, you know what, make your motherfucking free throws.
So now that's me on my team. I don't give a fuck, man. I don't give a fuck how many free throws you missed one through three, fourth quarter, make your fucking free throws.
Yeah. And then also on the other end, players play with less confidence when you know you got to go against Giannis.
You know, and I can make more mistakes. Right. Right. So my mistakes aren't magnified if Giannis is not out there versus when he is out there.
So I can go for steal. I can take a bullshit ass charge. That ref might call charge because of my name, not because of how my footing was. I might take a fucked up shot. I might go offensive rebound when I'm supposed to. Giannis got us. Bron got us. But that comes with greatness also. And I'm learning that on the other end also now that I'm playing where I'm playing at.
It's a lot of stuff that my teammates allow to do that I just can't do. They're looking to you.
Football player.
Never played basketball. No, I haven't seen that.
Handsome white guy.
Yeah.
I've never seen him play up close in person, but I've seen highlights.
He has size. Yeah. Fact. And it seems like he has some type of toughness. He's got toughness? And I think, regardless of what your skill is, if you have size and you have toughness, that's going to carry you.
