He was really angular. More than that, his active left hand gave me?problems. He had a really active left hand. You would go up to?shoot, and he would just swipe the ball away from you. He does that?a lot, and still pulls it off.

I had to figure out how to beat it. That was by playing mind games.?Sometimes, I’d let him get the ball at first. Then have him sit on the?second one, extend the ball out, and have him foul me. He’d then?have to think about it. The third time, I’d hide the ball and change?the angle, so there was nothing for him to swipe at. I’d play games?like that, because I knew he’d never contest up high. I just had to?create enough space and get him thinking about reach-ins and I’d?have clean looks all day long.
