I feel good doing it. It's not like guys are stripping me at half-court or I'm just losing the ball dribbling. I think I'm handling the ball pretty well, just trying to make good passes, man.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.
The good thing is I don't put the ball in my right hand and I'm predominantly left-handed when I'm running the ball. I just have to take care of the football and even if I have two hands that are 100 percent, I still can't turn the ball over. It's just something I have to mentally prepare for, and I think I'm strong enough to do that.
I am, first of all, a basketball player. I've done this for so very long... For me, it's been essential to be successful on the court.
Your touch and your feel for the game is pretty much gone if you don't work on it - at least get some shots up or dribble the ball.
I like it when I am in the middle; I am closer to the ball. The manager wants me to pass, to make assists, create chances, and I do more because I think the position is more central, and I don't ask all the time for the ball at my feet.
I don't play ball because I want attention. I do it because it gives me the opportunity to bust somebody's head. And I just love to do it. I love what I do.
But just maybe sometimes being even more patient. Even though I thought I did that much better this year, and sometimes, you know, make my opponents play that one extra ball, and just knowing how to play the big points better.
I like having the ball in my hands and being able to make plays, but I think my shooting is an asset, too.
I'm just going out there to do my role, the same role - defense first - and then see how the ball turns out on the offensive end.
Doing these parts is not fun. It's challenging, but no fun. It's creepy. I would rather play the guy that throws the touchdown pass and gets carried off the field.
