![]() Get defensiveĪnother way I was able to cement my role as NBA elite was by playing great defense. I made sure I took as many as I could throughout my career, which finally took off in Phoenix once Nash (finally) retired. The biggest boosts I received were by hitting last-second and game-winning shots. Sure, you can’t take every shot and get pats on the back from your teammates, or the game, but take all the important shots and it will reward you handsomely. The more I played like Allen Iverson, the more I was rewarded. Be a starĪnother fishy aspect about being a point guard in My Player is it sometimes rewards you for being a bad teammate. I did get a cool billboard proclaiming, “The Future is Here.” Instead, I got stuck in Phoenix behind Steve Nash. I would have been in the starting lineup as a rookie. In hindsight, Indy would have been the best place for me. I chose to say all the right things to the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets, but purposely tanked my interview with the Indiana Pacers. It’s tricky because you can choose from four different answers to the questions a general manager will pose to you. The pre-draft interview process is also paramount. What also got my baggy shorts in a bunch was the fact the ball-hogging teammate of mine who shot 22 percent from the floor was drafted ahead of me. But when I am standing wide open in the corner for an easy 3-pointer, and my uncoordinated teammates decide to drive the lane into the teeth of the defense, how is it my fault? What also hurt my rating was calling for the ball too much. I could have had 10 or more assists had my post-player teammates make a stinkin’ layup. ![]() I scored a game-high 18 points, but only had a “C” teammate grade, which was frustrating to no end. I played a fairly solid game in the amateur All-Star Game that kicks off your career.
