For us, it's about winning. How do you do that? You score more points than the other team.
For me, it's about winning games. I'm trying to score more points than the other team. I don't really care how we do it.
I think we can keep people off-balance and ultimately we have to go score points, score one more point than the other team.
Stats don't matter. I care about winning, not stats. If I score 0 points and we win I'm happy. If I score 50, 60 points, break the records, and we lose, I'm pissed off. 'Cause I knew I did something wrong. I'll have a hell of a season if I win the championship and average 20 points a game.
I think everybody needs to think about making plays for the team, making winning plays, before thinking about how many points we're going to score and stuff like that.
Obviously, people say offense wins games, defenses win championships. But I think, at the end of the day, if you score more points than the other team, you're going to win.
Back when I played, basketball was all about fundamentals, about hustling, getting those loose balls, all those rebounds under the basket. That equals up to 12, 14, 16 points. You can lose a game with that much. It's different watching basketball now. People don't play the same way. It doesn't matter if you score, if you can't stop the other team from scoring. Our coach used to kick our ass if we didn't. I was told if you saw more of the other team color under the basket than your own team color, you ain't doing your job. Everybody should be under the board, trying to get that ball.
I literally and truly don't care how many points I score. I get far more satisfaction out of doing the other things that make us winners.
I want to score more than 20. It's my job. But it is not an obsession for me ahead of winning titles for the team.
The job of the offense is not to score points. The job of the defense is not to stop the other team from scoring points.
When I go out there, I try to do everything I can to win. That doesn't mean I have to score more than the other team; it may mean stopping the other team.
I got to have more of those type of games where I'm just engaged. It doesn't matter the score or how many points I score.
You can't score if you're turning it over. It's like a punt. If you go out and you punt 12 times, you're not scoring points. That's not good. So, when you turn the ball over and throw interceptions, you're giving the other team more opportunities and your team less opportunities.
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.
At the end of the day, when you have more points than the other team, you win. So, defensively, it's all about not giving up touchdowns. It's about trying to keep them off the board.
What makes me a selfish player? Because I shoot the ball? I'm supposed to shoot the ball. That's how you score points. Those points go on the scoreboard for the whole team.
Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win.
