I’ve always been known as a pure scorer, and I’ve always said if I just sat outside and shot 3s and just really focused on that – coming off of screens and spot-up 3s – and shot six or seven 3s a game, I would probably be more known as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.
I grew up off ‘The Simple Life’ where they really made just being a personality a thing.

It’s great if a pilot starts off great and if it doesn’t start off so great it’s not that big a deal: everybody’s baby is born ugly. But you want to know, if given the opportunity: Where are we going? What’s the story we’re trying to tell?
