Leaders are like point guards, we set people up to score.
When you open up the court, now the point guards can see, they can score, and they're not afraid to take shots. Before it was like, 'No, don't take that shot. That's a bad shot. Pound it inside. Pound it inside.' And the philosophy has gone a little bit away from that, because it makes sense to do it the other way.
I feel like I can defend three different positions: point guards, shooting guards, and small forwards who don't want to play too much in the post.
There's tons of point guards in this league. There's good point guards on bad teams.
The point guards that I like are the ones that are playing like point guards.
My whole life I played the point, so naturally I think as a point. Two guard, I get to score more... During the game, I like to mix it up.
Defense, in the game, is something that I just really enjoy. Some people enjoy assisting the ball. Some people like to score, score, score, but to me the first thing that comes up is defense.
As a point guard, you don't really have to score. The only time you have to score is when you have to score.
I think we can keep people off-balance and ultimately we have to go score points, score one more point than the other team.
If the white man can come here uneducated and as an immigrant, and within 10 or 15 years set up an industry that provides job opportunities and educational opportunities for black people, then if the black man, the black leadership, who has access to all of this money and has all of these degrees today, can't use his talent and his know-how to set up business opportunities, job opportunities, housing opportunities for the black people the same as the white leaders have done for white people, then these black leaders need to get off the boat.
I don't want to score; as long as I set people up and then they get the goals, that's all I'm bothered about.
It's hard to guard when you have two point guards on the floor because you don't know who to pick up.
Objective evaluations set the foundation that moves leaders to the tipping point.
I'm a point guard, I've always been a point guard, I've played point guard all my life. Personally, I feel the best point guards make other players look better and create their own shot. I fit in that category.
I like to have an active set and a fun set. I keep my days to a decent hour; I don't go overtime. Do I beat people up? I beat people up in that they know I like to shoot fast. And they know I like to be efficient. And that I like to leapfrog.
You can't compare my numbers to the other point guards. I'm a different kind of player - if you like it or not.
I'd reached the point at West Brom where I'd play well, score goals, set up goals and nothing would come from it. I'd go home, come back the next day and everything would be the same. No reward, no response.
