Sharing the Ball Quotes

To use a basketball metaphor, West Wing cast was a group that liked to pass as much as they liked to shoot.

Passing is contagious. There's nothing better than making the pass that gives someone an easy hoop.

When you play with Kobe Bryant, the ball is gonna be with him most of the time, which is understandable.

Zero assists. That's not who I am. That's not how I play.

Not everyone gets to have one of the few super-dominant, all-pro, superstars in this league, and so playing with the pass and playing with space and playing quick is a really good backup.

I don't think I'm somebody that dominates the ball a lot.

That was probably the biggest adjustment for a lot of people... You have a ball-dominant guy like LeBron that makes plays for everybody. You gotta just be ready at any point because you might not get a shot the first 15 minutes and you might get three or four after that.

There's times where I could take all the shots every time I touch the ball, but that's not me. I just play a team game and just take open shots.

If you have one guy taking all of the shots, you're obviously not playing very fast, because you have to slow it down and wait for him to get to his spot in the offense. But when you just want the best shot possible, a lot of different people are going to get the ball.

When you come to a new team, especially in the middle of the season, you don't want to come in and be ball dominant.
