felt guy himself knowing looking looks loves perfect point special wants
I always felt if you get a big guy and a point guard, you got it made. And they were pretty special together.... Kevin, knowing him, he has no ego, he just loves to play and wants to win. I don't think he ever looks at himself as 'the man.' I think that was a perfect match. Looking back on it, it's kind of sad.

He has a hard time looking at me sometimes because of how he might be perceived by certain people, but he listens to everything I say.

I reiterated to him that he can't have seven, eight shots a game. He's got to be looking to make plays . . . The more aggressive he is looking to take shots, the better he'll become. I want him to take as many good shots as he can, and by doing that, he'll create for others.
