To me, throwback means I'm a smart player. I know how to play the game. I'm very skilled. I do a lot of things that other people don't do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I throw as hard as I can when I think I have to throw as hard as I can.
I developed a mechanism so that whatever mistakes I made, I would bounce straight back. Whatever was happening off the pitch, I could put it to one side and maintain my form. Call it mental resilience or a strong mind, but that is what we mean when we talk about experience in a football team.
Throwaways are OK. When a quarterback throws the ball away in our system, that's a plus. That's a plus decision. That's the way I've always graded it.
If you have a setback, and you're not doing well and then you overcome it somehow, it always sticks with you. You know it could happen again.
If you do base your life on how many touchdowns you score, how many championships you win, then when you have a setback, then when you have an injury, you're not playing, or something goes wrong, your self-worth goes down.
I can't begin to describe the amount of crap I've taken for being a lousy free-throw shooter.
You do the best you can with what's thrown at you, then you try again.
Throwing a ball is not natural, whether it's overhand or underhand.
The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
I don't back down. Like, I don't know how to flop. That's never been a part of my game. For me to know if a guy likes to turn left shoulder or right shoulder in the post, I have an advantage. Or if he likes to go left all the time, I have an advantage. Or if he can't make open jump shots, I have an advantage.
