Transcript
00:00 Just being able to come back, being an Alabama guy,
00:02 knowing a lot of guys might just come--
00:04 fans just might come and see you.
00:06 What was it like coming back?
00:07 Oh, it's going to be fun to see a lot of friends and family
00:10 in the building tonight.
00:11 Just being back in Alabama, playing professionally
00:15 in front of my family, that means a lot to me.
00:17 And I think it's going to be a really good turnout tonight.
00:19 I mean, we're trying to win every night.
00:22 That's the expectation going into each game.
00:24 I don't really do the entire season expectation.
00:27 I try to take it game by game.
00:29 So we're expecting to win every night we step out.
00:32 I mean, it's cool that the league and a lot of people
00:36 recognize the effort I put in on the defensive side.
00:40 But I care more about what our team is doing.
00:44 And if everybody's not putting that effort,
00:46 I won't be satisfied.
00:50 I think just paying attention to all the small details
00:55 and making sure you know that each possession matters
00:59 offensively and defensively.
01:00 Everything accounts to a win or a loss.
01:04 Like you can't just-- especially with how the game is now.
01:12 So many mistakes that are being made.
01:15 And he just showed me how to go back and correct each mistake
01:18 and go out the next day and not mess up the same way
01:21 I did the night before.
