Richard Jefferson

So now you got to choose between J-Kid, Vince Carter, and Richard. It's like, I'm further down on the depth chart. Shoot, J-Kid went down on the depth chart. We would put the ball in Vince's hands in the last minute or two. Then sometimes we would have J-Kid with both of us scoring options on the wing, whatever.

So it is one of those things where I did not develop that part of my game the way I should. So then when it was like, hey, Richard, there's a new thing in the NBA called three and D. You stand there and you play defense. And it's like- Sounds very similar to what I've been doing my whole fucking life, right? I just got to be accurate from three and play defense.

Yeah, I did that with J-Kid in the Nets back in the day, right? So you're right. Ball handling is not something that you improve over. Like very rarely do like wing players learn how to handle. That's not the way it goes.

It's hard to do that. And that's where I like, I tell people, I'm like, this is why the game becomes even more beautiful in these moments. Cause you're like, you have the best, biggest, most athletic in shape men trying to stop you from putting a ball in a hoop that, that could be anywhere from 25 to 30 feet away. That's where you're starting.

And it becomes like the skill level is so minute, right? Of like, how does Brunson do it? He doesn't even have the size and he just figures out how to use his body to get space, to pick the gaps. He's crafty, he's left-handed. I think-

When you look at, especially now, the game has changed where skill level players like Luka, Luka can go slow and kind of get, but even Luka struggles against Jalen Browns, Luka struggles against McDaniels. When there's a bunch of defenders, when there's three or four, a wall up top and I can get used to one defender. Right. Like there's like Dylan Brooks. You look at Thompson.

OK, you get one of those guys out the game. It's fine. We're Minnesota's different. We're Boston's different. They've got so they got five of those guys. At some point in time, you got Drew Holiday. You got Derek White. You know, you got Jason Taylor, Jalen Brown. You got so many guys that even for a guy like Luka, it's hard to kind of get your rhythm defensively. And it's like pick your spots.
