In the NBA, everyone overestimates how good of a 20-foot jump shooter they are.

A 20-foot jump shot is a really hard shot to shoot, especially if you dribble once.

It's like a 40% shot.

That's a tough shot.

And people will argue with me, oh, no, it's part of the game.

No, that is a hard shot for even the best player, unless your name is Steph Curry or Kevin Durant.

All right, Devin Booker.

And the one thing that, you know,

i was able to do that a lot of people can't do i detached myself from the outcome i didn't i didn't care i didn't care if a guy made a shot or not i really didn't i cared where they took that shot and i knew if they took the shot in the wrong area in the area where they they struggled the most

given enough time, sample size, they would beat themselves.

And so I just had to sort of lead them to that conclusion.

And so you can teach somebody kind of the squares in the court where it's just hard to make a shot.

Look, I grew up.

In a middle-class part of Detroit, all right, I was very poor.

You know, the roof leaked when it rained.

I remember what a government cheese sandwich tasted like.

I had patches on my jeans and all my clothes.

Like, we had, like, no money, you know.

I learned the phrase, Rob Peter to pay Paul, like, when I was in kindergarten, right?

We were very, very poor.
