You talk about a guy that was rookie of the year.
He was an all-NBA player.
He was a perennial all-star.
And then all of a sudden, it just didn't click.
Something happened.
Me, I trace it back to that Atlanta game where he had a layup.
I mean, he had a look like a dunk, and he passed it.
And his coach was critical.
The best player was critical.
And I remember I was undisputed with Skip.
I said, he's never going to be the same.
And he said, why do you say that?
I said, because the head coach said what he said and his best player said what he said.
I said, he broke his confidence.
I said, and that city?
And then, you know, you see the meme where this is Ben Simmons and there's a trash can going down the street because the city is flooding.
They broke his confidence, and he hasn't been the same player since.
Now, I know he's had some injuries, but how do you, when a guy, he's the first overall pick, he's rookie of the year, he's a perennial all-star, how does confidence, confidence is that big of a thing in basketball, T. Luke?
Confidence is everything in life.
