No matter whether you're hurting or it's just a precaution, you gotta eat right, make sure that you're protecting your body because 82 games and all those road trips - it's going to be a lot.
My dad coached pretty much my whole life. I think he stopped coaching me when I got to the seventh, eighth grade, serious AAU, when I started getting recruited and stuff like that.
You got to be able when you get the ball, slow it down, read the defense, call for a pick, and go off a pick-and-roll instead of going isolation all the time. Just be able to use that screen.
When I used to get the ball on the wing, I'd go fast and I'd go right. Veterans in this league, they watch film. They're definitely going to strategize. They know you like to go right. They know what your moves are.
That's something I loved growing up - the other team yelling, hyped, student section, all of that gets me going.
