Randle on his recovery this offseason:
“I’ve studied a lot of people. I studied LeBron and watched how he used angles. One of the biggest people that pushed me was my teammate, Jalen. Because I saw how he worked, and I’m a worker. And I saw how diligent he was. And focused. So JB really pushed me. I watched Jimmy [Butler] in the playoffs. All of these guys. We’re all copycats at the end of the day. We learned the game from somebody.”
Randle on playing in NY:
“It’s tough. Especially for a person like me who cares so much. And wants to win. And wants to win every single game. My friends will tell you, my wife, everybody will tell you I’m a sore loser. And the media, it’s tough. But I could say being here in New York had made me who I am to this day. It built me.”
I just want one solid playoff run from Jules.
Makes me excited for the in-season tourney too. It’ll be a small victory but a needed one for his reputation as a big game performer.
