If you start chasing around trying to get steals for your own benefit, then you really put your defense at a disadvantage. It's not a big thing for me; if it happens, great.
Rondo is great with the steals, also on offense with the passing and court vision.
That's one part of my game that never leaves - the defensive part.
I mean, defense to me is something that when you watch a game you don't really pay attention to defense unless you're very - unless you're a specialist.
On the defensive end, I have to do my job.
At first, I wanted to be a good player in the NBA. When I get to a team where you have one of the two best scorers in the league, I just said to myself that I needed to do something. I need to do something to help my team, something to make my name. That's where I started to focus on defense.
A true heiress is never mean to anyone - except a girl who steals your boyfriend.
This is the truth: I'm into sales. I love deals. I'm definitely a sucker for steals.
My role is to make sure we're moving in the right direction, getting points, rebounds, steals, assists and providing leadership.
I was guarding the best player and getting 25 and having eight assists, and three-four steals.
I always felt like I'm a good one-on-one defensive player.
I feel I've proved I can rebound, block shots, get steals and pass the ball, too.
In high school, I figured I'd get a few extra baskets by getting steals. I would just pressure up the ball.
Defense, in the game, is something that I just really enjoy. Some people enjoy assisting the ball. Some people like to score, score, score, but to me the first thing that comes up is defense.
I have a drive to get more steals and improve my game and stats overall every year.
The morning steals upon the night, Melting the darkness.
I always felt defense was a big part of my game.
If you're struggling with your shooting, then do other things on the basketball court. Get steals, get assists, get rebounds-do anything on the court to help the team win.
A lot of people say you can't make the league if you can't play defense, so I really play really good defense. That's something I really pride myself on.
Rickey was never motivated by stats. He was motivated by numbers. Wins, runs, steals.
You can be a great defensive player, and if you don't put up splash statistics, then you're not going to get noticed.
