“I don’t like getting scored on,” he tells ESPN. “It’s that simple. Competitive nature, to me, is winning every possession or in everything you do. So an offensive possession, I also try to win, but defensively, I feel like getting one stop against an individual is, it’s like, damn man, you stopped me.
“But when you get multiple stops against somebody? It can kind of take them out of the game. It can take their heart away. It can completely change the landscape of the game if that happens. So I think I started realizing that -- and realizing how fun it is to try to take the heart out of my opponent.”
