No, I think we need to have more, no? This wasn't a player-only meeting.
Yeah, but I don't think it was a players-only meeting that early, before then, anyway.
It's not like this one.
Yeah, but... See, you got to understand what goes on. Like, a player-only meeting is... Motherfucker get in there, you... Hey, so what the fuck going on? What we going to do?
Do you say, coaches, get out of here? I like that part. Like, yes, y'all get the fuck out. Let's talk straight up. Or you bring a coach in who's like the player's coach, who's cool, that can kind of give you information of what the coach's thought is, but also can take information like, this is the player's thought also. Play in the middle, yeah.
Yeah, to kind of mesh it together because you don't want to be in there having a meeting the whole time. You get out of the meeting, you're like, oh, man, that's, you know, yeah, coaches, they don't have a whole different page than we on. Like, okay, cool, let's all get organized.
We got this going on, man. You feel me? I feel like I'm shooting the ball a lot. I feel like I can get better shots. What can I do to make a team better? What can I do to help you? What can I do to help you? And then I go, like, okay, cool, fuck all that. Let's just talk about roles. You tell me your role, I'll tell you my role, and we just go all the way down.
And then you'll hear some people's roles, and then you'll be like, okay, y'all agree with that? And some guys will be like, no, I don't think that's your role. But that helps you though, right? That helps you. Okay, cool. In my mind, I thought my role was screen, screen, screen, roll, roll, roll, hold time. This guy wants – the star player wants my role to, no, pop and shoot all the time. Right.
I might have thought my role was to shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. No, my role is not to shoot. My role is to offensive rebound, block shots, and take charges. I might think my role is, okay, cool, I'm the leader of this team. No, no, no, no, no. You're the energy guy of this team. You're the guy that makes sure we have energy.
So getting roles with your players, with those guys first, kind of like, okay, cool. It gets you a different perspective. And I think that helps more than anything.
Yeah, and then you'll say shit like, hey, bro, yeah, okay, I feel that. I feel like their role is to score, but you want to score that bitch like that, you got to show us you're a pro, too, bro. You got to be on time.
Right? Like, everybody got shit to do. Yeah. Right? I remember one time, I think, why I walked in late. Right? And there's very few times where Kawhi kind of walked in late. But I think something happened. He walked in late. He was standing in San Diego. I don't know. Helicopter was late type shit. Right? I go, Kawhi, like, hey, um. I know shit happen but we all got shit to do.
We all pros, we all millionaires. Most all of us got kids. I understand, like, we sitting here waiting on you. That's not 30 minutes at the end of practice that I could be on my way home to my son or some shit.
Like, I ain't telling you what to do. Just respect the grind. Right. You tell a motherfucker that straight up, motherfucker got to do what? Respect it. Like, man, you know what? You right, bro. I can be better. And that helps you, too. Yeah, I can be fucking better.
You know, so, like, I think any type of meeting, any type of, you know, any type of discussion about, I don't know, getting better, I think that's always perfect medicine.
Jokic.
Yeah.
Plays the right way.
I had a, I don't know, I think this was the bubble year, 2020, we're about to play Denver, and I'm watching them work out, and it's one of the Denver coaches, I don't even know his fucking name, assistant guy. I go, it's two things that make him great. I go to the coach, what do you think it is? And the options in my head was, his passing ability, or his feel for the ball, right?
You know, a coach goes, a coach that's probably never played NBA basketball goes, oh, the way he can pass it. Yeah, that's a lot of motherfuckers that can pass, though. And I honestly think it's his feeling for the ball, right? I know a ton of motherfuckers that can pass, but like, A one-second pass is worse than a .3 pass. Get it literally in your hand, out your hand to the next guy.
