left sure
I'm sure we didn't have anything left in the tank.
judge people side
Of course, you have people who already see you one way and already judge you, but that's the other side of me that people don't know. That's just me being me.
coaches coaching experience far mainly
Mainly just the coaching staff. I didn't have to go far away. The coaches with experience know what they're doing.
expected
I'm not emotional. I expected this. I'm comfortable now.
basket hit people seen shows side stepped waiting
Finally. Brian, he's talented, but a lot of people don't know it because he never shows it. He stepped up real big. He hit some big threes and was going to the basket like a maniac. I've never seen that side of him. No one's ever seen him come out like that, but we've been waiting for that.
took week
It took me about a week to get over it.
met seem seemed
It was just the way I was treated. When I first met him, it didn't seem like he only wanted me for basketball. It seemed like he wanted to get to know me.
arena seen shoot team
I haven't seen any team shoot in this arena like they did the first half.
stress taken
Now I can pretty much be me. It's just a lot of stress taken off, I feel relieved.
shot
I got to feel with him, I got a shot to play professionally.
attention pay
I didn't pay attention to time. That's my error. I put it on my shoulders.
difficult mastering
It wasn't that difficult to learn, but mastering it is another thing.
coaching praying staff stay talked tells trying until worried
I haven't talked to him about the job, but I have talked to the coaching staff and they told me he wasn't going anywhere. Right now I'm just trying to stay updated. I'm praying he stays, but until he tells me he's leaving, I'm not worried about it.
might
We got here, and that might be enough for some, but not in my head. We should have won.
