> Those kinds of shots can deflate the team sometimes if you’re not making them...Do I need to get everybody involved, or set the tone myself and go be aggressive myself?
i'm fascinated by this quote from simons. even though he's the longest tenured blazer i feel like i don't "know" him, he seems shy/perfunctory with media. but here he's talking pretty candidly about his struggles finding the confidence to be the Man on this team. it's cool to see him open up a bit. and very relatable, esp in contrast to somebody like dame who walked in the door with unreal cool and self-confidence.

He's definitely started to open up more with us the last couple of years, yes. Used to be very quiet.
