I've had to guard Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Dirk Nowitzki. I've had to guard the best person on the opposing team.
When guys feel like it's a contract year so you're forcing, you're stressing, you're trying to do that, what I try to tell them is GMs and scouts don't even look at your points per game. They look at your efficiency, your plus-minus. Everything's so analytical. You can average 15 and be a terrible analytic player - you're not going to get paid.
I try and be very vocal. You know, talking to people and getting on guys. I try to help guys get in the right position whether it be on offense or defense.
I've always been an outgoing guy. But I know as an athlete, I have an obligation to be a role model.
It's something I pride myself on because in the NBA a lot of people are good offensively but you can set yourself apart on the defensive end. I can bring a lot of energy.
I want to give myself options and maybe be able to work at ESPN, or do blogs at NBC or be a sports reporter.
