Quote Of The Day
“That toughness comes out when you watch him play. He can get in the lane. His best asset offensively was that he was really good at driving and then taking a stepback floater or even driving really hard and then kinda pulling up and taking a stepback mid-range shot. He had a pretty high percentage of those shots. He would do more of that than trying to get all the way to the basket and lay it up. There were times I described him as just kind of a bulldog, because he’ll put his head down and drive you and then he’ll pull up and with that floater game or mid-range. He was tough inside, and he wasn’t afraid to go in there a little bit.”
