“Some people you have to push, some people you have to pull. Another chapter that said you have to have an open mindset or a closed mindset. You don't want to close mindset. You want an open mindset. The book will come to me in a minute. Had to challenge him on having an open mindset. Hey, give me the ball.”

“Angela Duckworth And he got us that book and he would always use these phrases. And so grit was a huge, huge, huge word that he used that I'm sure he still uses to this day. But that book in particular he bought for the team and I read that one. I do remember that one. And it's another one that's slipping my mind. But I remember specifically we were having a conversation and it wasn't an easy conversation. Usually when you're a coach, you're having tough conversations 24-7 with your players because everybody wants the ball. I was having one of those conversations like, hey, give me the ball, you know. And it was one chapter in particular that was saying push versus pull.”

“And I was always reading. I was always been an avid reader since I was a kid. And I just fell into reading books. I would always read books, especially on the road before naps, before games. That was my thing. And he knew that about me. He had heard that about me. Him being a good coach said, hey, I'm going to get him this book. I heard he's a reader. He got me outliers by Gladwell. I said, okay, you know, he gave it to me and I took it. Oh, that's cool. I read that book. And he just kind of looked at me like, what? And then ever since then, he would, I guess I hope that I pushed him to do more research in his book buying. But yeah, he would get us books. Every Christmas”

“He would give books every Christmas to the team. So there were quite a few. And I read all of them. I was probably the only dude to read all of them. It was even kind of funny. One time we were cleaning out their lockers and our lockers and said, you know, some I won't name who, but somebody grabbed the book from their locker. Oh, man. Spo, thanks for this Christmas gift. It's in June, blowing dust off of it, you know. But when we first met, I had just signed to Miami.”

“It wasn't like that before. And the way you crunch those numbers is not an open book. So everybody gets the data, but that's all it is. It's just data. It's just telling you what happened the last game or over the course of the game. It's on the teams to kind of take that and utilize it if they want to. Now, some people do overdo it in my opinion. You can kind of get some people like, you know, so the way we want to play. Okay, kind of tie your shoes with the left hand first. But there's still, you know, in my, you know, in my case, it's still some fundamentals to the game that you can't really get around.”

“So, you know, and that can be a statue, which I'm pretty sure we dug up, we did dig up that stat. What's the percentage of you getting an offensive rebound versus not getting a stop because of that?”

“In a way, there are certain things that do get taken away. In our case, it was a little easier to make that sacrifice because we had Dwayne and Wade and LeBron. So if it's saying, hey, Chris, we need you to get out the paint and spread the floor. Yeah, your offensive rebounding opportunities are going to sink quite a bit, but it's better if we get those guys attacking So you need to be out here. And one of the things that kind of developed was having a more sound defense. Okay, instead of crashing the boards, just get back. Because, you know, the defense, especially, you know, if the defense gets the rebound, now they're on offense. If they're running, if they're a fast team, you want to mitigate their opportunities for easy baskets”

“If people have wondered what that term refers to as my girlfriend. Going hard in the paint, man. You can have the same type of offense, which is nobody is reinventing the wheel here. But what's happened is the game has become faster and more spread so that more offensive opportunities can happen.”

“Rebound. Right. Everything. Yeah, the tall things. Do all the things that tall people do. Well, if you spread the court, that makes it a little tougher to guard. It takes bodies away from the painted area, you know, that area where the paint. What we call it”

“If you're in the paint, I want you to get out there. We're going to run the same place. But as opposed to being six feet away from the basket, get 16. I need you in this 12 to 16 area feet right here because usually bigs, they wanted to keep them. We call them bigs, the fours and the fives, bigs. We want to keep you as close to the basket as possible. But that was clogging it up for the smaller guys to be able to attack. So you would tell to be able to keep”

“traffic jam so you can take those same plays in basketball and just tell your players hey all these things from the heat days are going to come into my head but pace and space i can't believe i'm saying that i like it but that's what you know the space was very particular because you want to be able to see what's going on and to attack the rim get closer to the rim for easy buckets all you have to do is hey”

“So it's kind of the best analogy I could put to it is, you know, I don't want to expose their system, but everybody knows their system. It's predicated, and I might be saying this wrong, but it's two plays that are the base in their system, weak and strong I can't remember which side of the court. If you're on this side of the court this week, on another side of the court is strong, but that's their base of the offense. Like I was saying earlier, the game a few years ago was being played closer to the rim. There was nowhere to go. There's no space, even if you want to get your best player attacking into the paint. If there's eight other people in there, it makes it a little more difficult.”

“I was banging up against guys bigger than me. So usually in the NBA my playing weight was about 235, 240. If I'm playing the 5, I'm banging with guys that are 280, 270, and on a weekly or nightly instances, oh man, it gets brutal. But, you know, it did work as far as, you know, using the speed to get around the bigger defenders. So essentially playing, I guess if you were a fighter going to class up in weight. Because you're quicker, you can hit them more. That was pretty much the philosophy. One of the other guys who have done it, I think, have done a great job is Greg Popovich.”

“The ones who say, I don't know, I don't get it. They don't have jobs, right? And they get weeded out quickly. One of the guys, of course, you know, my ex-coach and Eric Spolstra, I remember him. He was having the vision of having that positionless type of basketball and that faster pace, which I didn't like at the time because that would mean I would have to play the center as opposed to the power forward. And I didn't want to do that”

“They've totally transformed the game because they're the guys bringing it up the floor and they're getting the team into offense. So they're doing the job of the point guard. So now it's more of the term positionless. When we were playing when I was playing, it's crazy to say the last decade, early in the 2010s, that became kind of one of our words to say positionless, disruption, that's the word I'm looking for. So, you know, basketball has been disrupted. What we thought was the game has been cracked open and now it's just become not just, it's become a faster pace, longer shots, more athleticism, and not so much the cookie cutter approach to where someone should be on the court because of their size or lack of size.”

“If your big fella can bring it down, but the evolution of the game, you've had guys like, you know, Magic Johnson, Den, LeBron, James comes, and he's very tall, but he can handle the ball. And you have Ben Simmons, Giannis Antitzacumpo. These guys who are very tall, seven feet, 6'8 to 7 feet, who back in the day, you could say, okay, hey, you're a four or a center or something else.”

“From the player side, there were some players, in particular me and Shane Baddier. We would talk about Mount Goodfriend Shane Badier. We played together in Miami during the championship years. We would talk about this. We had just got him. He had played his career in Houston and Memphis. And Houston is a guy by the name of Daryl Moorey. He's the president for the Sixers in Philadelphia right now. Big stat guy. Love stats. I mean, a number cruncher. And so they had a certain team and it was a whole culture of stat-driven guys. Shane came from that. And so that's where we would kind of talk and we would talk about threes and contested twos and just different shots that you can take. So if you're within the three-point line, right? Or a contested shot is if you're shooting and I just put my hand up try and defend you, right? Trying to deny you from.”

“The game has changed. So you have one through five. The one is the point guard. The two is the shooting guard. Three small four power forward. And the five is the center. What has happened in the last few years is that it's become more of a spread game because mathematically people that do data eventually said, hey, let's shoot more threes because these shots, we don't like these shots. We like these shots. Oh, that's interesting.”

“Method to the man is you're supposed to be in a certain position even if it's within the flow of a game. Know when I say system, that's what I mean by that. If he was at the top, he knew exactly what to do. If he's down low, he knew exactly what to do. And that added on top of the talent, yeah, they could have given it to him and say, okay, bring us home, big fella. And that would have worked. But he added so much longevity on his career by playing within the system, in my opinion. And I mean, that made it more dangerous because you have to worry about all of these other things happening. If you're defending him, it's for other people out there that you have to worry about. But then he's hitting you on your body down low, getting the ball. And he was incredibly strong too. Okay, so this.”

“the opposite of flashy. But like we were speaking of playing down low, closer to the basket, his moves that he used were very basic but devastating. Sometimes when you're dealing with younger players that are good at the game, the simplicity can get to them. So they want to show that they're good by doing something fancy. And then usually you're messing it up, right? But Tim, he made his career off of establishing position, basic stuff, establishing position, getting your move technique, you know, playing within the system. And he was unstoppable. I mean, he was MVP of the league and perennial All-Star, you know, and The best foreman to ever play the game. You had to put him in that same context if you're trying to be successful.”

“That was a part of the game. Don't put the ball on the floor. I saw him put the ball on the floor and rebound and block shots and play defense and he had this intensity and tenacity to him the way he played the game. It was just infectious. And, you know, I was like, yo, I want to do that. And so I would imagine going to the park and imagine these moves and imagine myself doing, you know, I would visualize every day, man. And once I saw that. Was over. And I mean, he was cool too. He had to swag the young guy swag back then, had to look and, you know, had the off-court look in the slam. And it was just amazing to me. And I just wanted, that's all I wanted to do. I wanted to be, that's what I wanted to be right there. KG.”

“You know, now the game is more spread. It's more around a three-point line. And the game back then was more people in the paint. So that's how the game was played closer to the basket, a lot more physicality. A lot of banging around, you know, and I'm sure a lot of people were worried for me. But, you know, once I saw Kevin, it was one in highlight in particular, long and skinny. He was a, what, an all-star when he was 19, 20 years old. He came straight out of high school in 96. No, 95. And he was long and skinny like me. And one of the things, kind of you were joking and saying how your coach said you handled the ball like a caveman. He can handle the ball. That was kind of like a new thing. Not new all the way, but old school coaches would tell me, if you're tall, don't dribble.”

“Oh, yeah, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. All right. More so KG. But Tim Duncan, of course, too, because he was right down the street. His nickname was the big fundamentals and every coach loved the way he played the game. So I would play the power forward, which is, you know, it's kind of a dying position now, but it was called the four. And it was cool to be a four. Like, oh man, early 2000s, late 90s to be a four-man, it was awesome. And so it was just kind of looking for guys that look like me.”

And that's great because I can't pay for college. He kept saying I can't pay for college. And I thought that was fascinating that you could actually, wow, you could go to college and play basketball.

“Subject mat So, you know, Slam magazine was pretty much like the basketball magazine. And so that was like the internet. So you go get your slam magazine and I started putting these posters on my wall of Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, all these guys, and just obsessively following the game. But they would also put in these articles with. High school talent. It was all basketball, high school, college and pros. And so for me, with all the content I consumed, whether it was movies, whether it was watching Slam magazine, these things were supposed to happen. So when they started happening, for me it was more like, okay, cool. I was still in my bubble”

“I was always able to go to practice or go to the gym or even play basketball video games or read the newspaper and see what the stats are and who's leading the Eastern Conference or who's leading the league in scoring rebounding and things of that nature. I never wanted to do anything else. Basketball was it. I grew up watching Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. And of course, all the other stars too, but those two guys in particular, they were always winning. You know, as soon as I found out what basketball was, I knew who Magic Johnson was and huge success in the 80s, five championships. And then Michael Jordan is there. I watched him pretty much win six live. And then Kobe Bryant comes along. And he was the dude that made it real because he was a teenager doing things that Jordan did. So once that started happening, it became more obsessive. Are you familiar with Slam magazine?”

That's kind of a hard question to answer because I didn't do anything else. So it was basketball, video games, and friends, and, you know, of course, schoolwork.

That thing that you love, once I found basketball, and that's one of the things that I always encourage not only the youth, but people in general, find that thing that you love. And, you know, people can help you get there, but only you know, and only you know that feeling, whether it's sewing, knitting, architecture, it could be anything.

“That pretty much was it during All Star weekend in Toronto. I was reshaping my game. I'm a three-point shooter now. I'm actually in a three-point competition. I'm looking forward to this, my career being revitalized and still being on top of my game, still being an all-star, still performing at a high elite level. We felt that we had a team good enough to compete for a championship that year. We were second or third in the east. We're ready to go. We're right there in the driver's seat. And we unfortunately found another clot. It was a blood clot in my lower extremities. That was pretty much the end of the season. I continued to try to come back, but it just didn't happen with doctors and things like that and teams and question marks. And we found out that it's not that much research.

“Let me see, I was in the hospital for close to two weeks. It was pretty much like solitary confinement. I didn't really think about it until it was over, but I didn't leave that room for a good two weeks. I had two tubes in my chest right here on my ribs, on the side of my ribs, right below my chest. And I had to drag that around with me after surgery for a few days until, you know, it got all the leakage out. That took about a week. And then after that I was able to recover, was able to come back and play basketball. And then that next year, we found another clock.

“Yeah, yeah. Okay. So you're 13. And it was kind of like not a long drawn out process, but pretty much what happened is it started with a pulmonary embolism. I ended up having a pulmonary embolism. I had chest pains, back pains, all kind of different pains. Had a collapse left lung partially for a while, and I was still playing. I chalked it up to something else happened. It wasn't definitely anything life-threatening, and it definitely wasn't anything that would end. my season, let alone my career. But I kept playing and we eventually, you know, it got so bad.

“Teammates I have had Three teammates from Spain, two or three teammates from Spain, and you have guys coming from Europe and Africa and South America and stuff like that.
