I'm just going to chill all season and coast and average 25? Or 20.' And in the playoffs, I go average XX. Would that make me look great? Probably. If I went from averaging XX to XX -- A playoff riser. Oh, my God. Joel Jordan. Whatever. The Brooklyn series two years ago is a perfect example. Double me everywhere. Half court, as soon as I had the ball, that coach was like, 'Go get it.' And guess what? I was fine with it because we kicked the ball out, we made shots, and we won. But guess what it did? It lowered the stats. So, if that's the narrative that's out there, I'm OK with that because I know what I'm going through and I know what's going on. And no one is in my body to understand what I'm going through.” (Via  XXXXXXXXX engagements  [Post Link](https://x.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1945528043235135817)
