I would like to say I'm the dog like I'm the one that's gonna go get it on the court if there's ball rolling I'm a die for if this guy running at me I'm gonna take a charge like I think I'm gonna do whatever the team needs like if that's getting 15 rebounds and not taking a shot, like I'll do that.
