When you’re in isolation, how do you decide if you’re getting into your stepback or putting it on the floor?I don’t know. It depends on the game, you know. It’s never the same decision. I really don’t know the answer to that question. It depends on the game.It’s a lot of factors. You’ve got to look at who’s guarding you, if the shot’s going in or not. There’s a lot to think about and then decide.
You added your midrange one-legger like Dirk last season — what does that do for your game as far as the iso plays go?Just adds another shot that is tough to guard. It’s really tough. It’s fadeaway. Dirk always did it. It’s a fadeaway, so it’s tough to block, to defend. It just adds another shot to my isolation.No. Not yet. It’s probably him.It’s the same. I think we’re doing a great job. I think we’re doing a better job this year. We’ve been together for one year. We know what he wants from us.
How important is chemistry with the team bringing back the core of last year’s team minus Jalen Brunson?As a team? We have chemistry. It’s a lot of people that were here last year. We have some new pieces, but the chemistry is the same. It’s good.It’s good. Not everybody can say they were MVPs in the league and in basketball, but you’ve got to get to there. You can’t have your name mentioned. You’ve got to get to there.
Superstars usually add something to their game in the offseasons — what was your point of emphasis this summer?Winning. I didn’t have much time to do individual work. I was practicing with the team, and that’s it. Winning.It’s always the same. I got like 340 questions about Brunson. We can’t replace him. He’s JB. You can see how much he gave us. He gave us a lot. Off the court, on the court, he was a great guy, a great teammate. But you know, we have new teammates.
