Our centers spread the floor, shoot the three and block shots. We can play pick and pop. — © Steve Nash
Our centers spread the floor, shoot the three and block shots. We can play pick and pop.
My main goal is to help the team as much as possible anyway I can. If they need me to shoot the three, I'll shoot the three. If they need me to run the floor and block shots, I'll do that also.
We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers.
When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.
I never casually shoot shots, ever. I shoot the same way every time. I shoot the same shots that I'd shoot during the game.
I've been learning when to block shots against who I'm playing. I'm not just going to leave a shooter to go block shots.
I found out some of the spots on the floor that I like to shoot - do my little floater shots, my pull-up shots, being able to get all the way to the rim. By me doing that, it's kind of opened up my 3-point shot.
I feel like I can run the floor well, rebound and block shots and let the offense come.
I shoot all kinds of shots. I just don't stay on the block and do layups and dunks when I'm in the gym by myself.
I'm having to deal with the LeBrons, Paul Georges, Gianniss, KDs, the 6ft 8in to 6ft 11in guys who can do everything at my height, shoot, play make, block shots, defend. They set the precedent I've got to uphold. There's no excuse for me. That's my goal, to be at their level.
As a rookie, I was a pick-and-roll player. I was an energy guy who could dunk, block shots, rebound.
There are basically five ways to score in the half court. Layups, mid-range, three-pointers, free throws - and then what I call 'tough shots.' Tough shots come anywhere on the floor, under difficult circumstances. The ability to create that shot is a special skill in the NBA.
I don't shoot shots just to shoot shots. I'm always working in a rhythm, working on mechanics. I've got a checklist of the things I need to do with my form, my legs, my arms, all of my mechanics.
At first you see a lot of people say 'Oh he's good, but he can't shoot' or 'Oh he's good, but can his shot translate to the NBA?' That just made me go into the gym and work that much harder to show and prove that I can shoot outside shots, and I can make shots.
My vision for the future always centers around our children - it always centers around our children. So anytime anybody asks me what are the three most important issues facing the Congress, I always say the same thing: 'Our children, our children, our children.'
I do all the dirty work: play defense, grab rebounds, block shots and finish strong around the rim.
I'm going to have to pick my shots and play great tennis.
