00:00How has he shown such a good balance this year in finding a more sustainable game?
00:05Yeah, I mean, that's something that he's well aware of.
00:08The last couple of years, just his unbelievable, God-given gifts,
00:11his athleticism, his speed, his creativity with his body movement,
00:15balls in his hands, what he can do when he leaps in the air
00:18and finish at the rim.
00:20But I think he's kind of recognized playing on balance
00:23actually opens up the floor a little bit more.
00:25He can get on balance to have his finishes at the rim,
00:28finding teammates.
00:29I thought he had a couple of great inside-out plays just by playing ground.
00:33A couple of timeouts he was coming, I was like,
00:35I love how you're playing fast, and you're just playing on balance
00:37when you get into the paint because it opens up the floor.
00:39So I think he's recognizing, he's seeing it.
00:41One of the most gifted and smartest players I've ever been around,
00:44and that one area of his game I think translates to individual success for him
00:47but also what it can open up for the team with his playmaking ability.
