He pulls inspiration from “no name” guys in high school who worked hard and “made” a name for themselves. All players who walked on to play college ball, succeeded and go pro.
I can’t single out one moment however I can say seeing his growth and maturity happen in real time. Seeing his true character change when faced with any sort of adversity. Poor attitude and bad body language are completely gone. He has a better mindset and understands what it takes to get the job done on & off the court.
