Basketball is like blackjack…♠️ #draymondgreen #nba #basketball #blackjack

You was on the analytics before it was a real thing. I learned that in Houston, you know, from Sam Hinkie, Darryl Morey, the way that they talked about analytics to me, which made sense. I like, I like playing blackjack and they're like, you gotta think about basketball like blackjack. When you get dealt pocket aces, what do you do? You always split 'em, right? 10 times outta 10. Why? Absolutely. Because that gives you the best chance to win that hand. Basketball's the same way. You just gotta give yourself and put yourself in a position to give yourself a chance of having success. Whether you have success or not, it doesn't matter. You did what's right. You split the aces, right? You made him take long jumpers. I became so focused on process, so focused on what should have happened, and I didn't care about what did happen, actually. And that's like opposite of how we're taught to play sports, right? We're judging the results. When you are so focused on process, it sets you free. And if you do the right thing enough, good things happen to you. And so that's how I was able to stay in the league as long as I didn't have success, even though I was slow, couldn't jump, I couldn't move.
