A Quote by RJ Barrett
I just see the ball and I go for it. It's wanting to make a winning play for the team and get a rebound.

I think guys that play basketball really understand how to go up and get a ball. Because in a rebound situation, you've got to go up and fight for a ball. Just boxing out. There are a lot of things that transfer.
When the ball is up in the air for a rebound you always have to be on your toes to go up for the ball. It's the same situation in football as a receiver; I'm always trying to get the ball at the highest point like a rebound.
When I get the rebound - push the ball. That couple of seconds when you're trying to find the point guard, you're losing in transition. You rebound, push the ball and the whole game is faster.
You just don't want to get pigeon-holed into one position. That's why even though I start out at center, I may play small forward, if I get a rebound and you're not there I can bring the ball up.
I can bring a lot. I play both sides of the ball. I defend. I have an offensive game. I rebound the ball. I get steals a lot.
When you go up for the rebound, you can't wait for the ball to come down. You have to go get the ball at the highest point. That's how it is in football. If you want to win those jump balls and those 50-50 balls, you've got to go up and get it.
I'm just trying to be aggressive and make plays, but you watch film and you see that you can get off the ball get it to somebody else and let them make a play for you.
I just try to go out there and have fun and just get to the ball. That's kind of my goal: just get to the ball and make something happen.
As a player you do kind of see you might need to get something going. Maybe it's diving on the ball, diving on the floor for a loose ball. Or maybe it's something that'll just energize the team, a lob dunk or a great pass or a great defensive play or an open shot, anything.
I'll dive on loose balls. I'll get the winning rebound, hit the winning shot. I'll do whatever it takes to win a game.
You always see those players that are going to get that next contract based off of a playoff run. That's what winning does; that's what team ball does.
It starts with me. I have to get the team in the right play and throw the ball where it's supposed to go.
Just wanting to play, I think that's my biggest attribute, just wanting to play through whatever I have to in order to go out and compete.
Profile of a winning team - They play to win. They have a winning attitude. They keep improving. They make their teammates more successful.
You've got to make the winning plays at winning time, whether it's a shot in the clutch or getting a big defensive rebound. Those are the intangibles I try to bring.
Everything we play when we are growing up, is team related. In this game (of golf) you can find all the answers yourself. You don't need to throw the ball in the air and play catch with yourself. You get a bucket of balls and go out there with your clubs, and you hit and learn and you get better. And there's no top.
