You have more control of things if you play defense. And you can control how you play defense, too, with effort and preparation.
I think that a lot of people are like, 'Oh, he only - he got hurt in the college season, where they only played 40 games. How is he gonna play 82 games in the NBA season?' They don't really look at the fact that in college, you practice way harder than in the NBA.

But to invent things how to do better. If somebody doesn't know what invention means, he should stop violin playing! You can't explain everything... Not practicing only: Think how to achieve quality.
I play really hard. I put my body on the line every damn practice. Every day in the games. That's my passion. That's how I give to the game.
