Swagger
“I don’t know why he was the one to do it, but nobody objected. There are people like that—people who run things—and Cash was one of them. He put himself with Brindle, which irked me until I remembered that Brindle had spent the previous season feeding Cash. It would have been pretty cold for Cash to choose me as point guard for his team. I did end up with Levi and DeShawn on my team, so I wasn’t stuck with a team of total strangers.
Early in that first game, Brindle got right up into my space, ...his butt low, slapping his hands on the gym floor to show me he meant business, bumping me whenever he could. It was 50 percent good defense and 50 percent attempted intimidation.
I didn’t react to any of the showboat antics; I simply played my game. If he was overly aggressive, reaching in too far, I’d turn on the burners and take him to the hoop. But I did that only when he guarded me closely. A point guard’s job is to run the team, and that means getting teammates involved, not getting caught up in one-on-one competition.MoreLess
