In football, time and space are the same thing.

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.

I try to take whatever the defense gives me, have a sense of urgency, know who's guarding me and pick my spots, get my teammates involved and also attack the rim.

To be a great player and a great scorer, you have to find ways to get yourself open and get shots off. It's a dog fight.

I've never really been a numbers guy... I like to score, for sure... but my main thing is I want to win.
