I'm definitely a 'comfort' player. As a point guard, I like to know my teammates, feel connected to my teammates, and flow with them.
The way you talk to your teammates and push them and the way you treat them is important. There is a fine line between trying to help your teammates and criticizing them. The toughest part for me is how to keep my teammates accountable but at the same time do it in a loving way that doesnt judge or condemn them. It's definitely been a struggle and I'm trying to learn how to lead consciously in a way that honors God.
My favorite point guard, growing up, was Magic Johnson. The reason why I say that is he was a winner, and he did everything in his power to make his teammates better. That's what the game is all about as a point guard.
I'm definitely looking to put together a full season. I know what I'm capable of doing. I want to be the kind of player my teammates can depend on.
Once I feel like I know my teammates, know where everybody is going to be, being a basketball player will allow me to attack from anywhere on the court, get better shots and facilitate.
I feel more comfortable with the ball in my hands, playing the point guard. But I like playing the 2, too. I think I bring tough defense and the ability to score and also get my teammates the ball to score.
If you want to know who Zaza Pachulia is and you don't know, talk to any of my teammates. Teammates, coaches, I played over 1,000 games.
I've always been a point guard, so being a coach on the floor, I've had to connect with every one of my teammates and find ways to motivate them, find ways to build them up.
It's always good to be out there with your teammates, working with your teammates in individual drills, team drills, just being out there, getting on the same page, just getting into flow with them.
I pride myself by being a player that plays in the flow of the game, and tries to get the offense created through other teammates.
I don't really like all the attention, because it feels like everything is about winning and they don't see the whole picture of my teammates and without my teammates, I don't think we'd be here right now. I get the attention ... if that day, I'm in the mood of signing autographs and taking pictures and even if I'm not, I'm like, he'll sign it for you, or he'll sign it for you. I can always give all the attention to my teammates because they handle it well.
I hate letting my teammates down. I know I'm not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don't feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.
I looked up to Magic Johnson a lot. He was a tall point guard who found his teammates and had a good time.
I don't know, scene stealing is something I see as, people look at it, it could be a positive thing, but I really like to think of myself as a team player. It's kind of like one player can make the other teammates better, kind of like Larry Byrd dishing off.
I love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them.
I understand my teammates. I know which teammates you can get on during the game, and which respond better to constructive criticism.
I am no genius; I just worked hard like my other teammates, and I believe all my teammates can win the title as they work hard, too.
