I have always been there to help the team, sometimes coming off the bench, other times as a starter.
I will do anything a team asks me to do. If it's to come off the bench, I would impact the game by coming off the bench. If I were to start, I would impact the game as a starter. I would impact the game either way.
For me, being a starter doesn't matter. Of course, I'd like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as I can play. But starting and coming off the bench are two different challenges.
I've always gotten doubled. Coming off the bench, people try to eliminate bench scorers, so that's been my experience for years now. You just find ways to beat it.
If the team's winning, I'm going to do whatever I can to help the team, whether that's from third-string role, backup, starter, it doesn't matter. I'm going to do what I can to prepare and help the team.
I've worn a lot of different roles for this team - off the bench, starting, closer, point, off the ball, whatever it may be. So, that's kind of how I view myself - the multi-purpose utility guy who helps keep the guys together, trying to make the sacrifice plays to help the team win.
If it's coming off the bench or if it's starting, I will try to contribute what is best for the team. If we're winning, I'm not going to complain.
Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I just want to be able to help and compete.
If I'm on the bench in a Premier League game, I'm thinking, 'What can I do coming off the bench?'
Starting you automatically gets into your rhythm faster. Coming off the bench, you're colder; it can be harder at times.
The advantage of not starting is you're sitting back, looking at the game and saying, 'OK, we need rebounding,' or 'We need hustle points.' Coming off the bench, that's what you try to do. The disadvantage of it is you gotta catch that flow. You're coming off the bench, you gotta come ready, warmed up already, catch the flow of the game.
I don't care about starting or coming off the bench or anything like that. To me, whatever role I'm in I'm going to try to help us win.
It's annoying to be on the bench - it's truly annoying - but it's a test you have to overcome, and that's how you progress. It's difficult because all you want is to be able to help the team, and when you're on the bench, you can't.
I've started. I've come off the bench. I've not played. I've been on the worst team in the NBA. I've won championships.
Even if I'm the 15th man on the bench, the first man off the bench, or I'm starting, I'm still part of that team.
Some guys have to score more off the bench because that's what their team needs. But some other teams need someone that's going to assist or rebound. It all depends on what he brings to that team and how much it helps their win-loss record and how much they change their team.
I don't believe you name a starter until the starter wins the team.
