Cam Thomas talks about his scoring abilities after dropping 33 points vs. Lakers

YEARS TOO. >> ALWAYS BEEN A — ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD SCORER LIKE ALL MY LIFE. BUT REALLY JUST MY MINDSET CHANGED IN EIGHTH GRADE JUST BE — HAVE THAT KILLER MIND SET TO SCENE SCORING WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WOULD GET 20 20-POID BACK OFF AND LET MY TEAMMATES

GET THEIR POINT AND FADE OFF IN THE CORNER AND CHILL. I GOT THE MINDSET TO KEEP ATTACKING AND GOING IN EIGHTH GRADE. I WOULD SAY MY MINDSET IS THE MAIN THING THAT CHANGED FOR ME TO BE HOW HOW I AM RIGHT NOW. AND THE YBL STUFF THAT’S COOL.

LSU THAT’S COOL THE I REALLY AVERAGED 25 AT LSU BUT GOT HURT ONE GAME AND LIKE THE FIRST MINUTE OF GAME LIKE THE FIRST TWO MINUTES, SO I DON’T KNOW WHY PEOPLE PUT THAT 23. IT’S REALLY 25 BUT IT’S ALL GOOD. ALL GOOD. >> Reporter: DO YOU FEEL LIKE

YOU STILL HAVE A CHIP YOUR SHOULDER BECAUSE IT IS FUNNY LISTENING TO HOW PEOPLE USED TO TALK WHEN YOU WERE COMING OUT. EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR BUCKET AND I I DIDN’T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE KNOW HE’S GOING TO SCORE 20. BUT HE STILL GOES TO 27 DOESN’T MAKE SENSE, DOES THAT NOT MAKE

SENSE TO YOU TOO? WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT? >> OF COURSE. OBVIOUSLY, THE GOAL POST ALWAYS MOVES FOR ME FROM EVERYTHING I WATCH WHEN PEOPLE NOW SCORE ALL THESE POINT IT’S ALL PRAISE. BUT WHEN I SCORED THE POINTS NO, HE CAN’T PLAY DEFENSE, HE DOESN’T PASS, BUT WHEN I SEE

OTHER PEOPLE DOING THE SAME THING, IT’S PRAISE. SO OBVIOUSLY THE GOAL POST MOVES BUT ME BEING ME. I DON’T CARE. I DON’T LOOK AT STUFF LIKE I KNOW WHAT I DO AND BRING TO THE TEAM AND HOW I AM APPRECIATEED TO THE TEAM I STAND TRUE TO MYSELF AND NOT LETTING TOLLS OR

ANYTHING GET MY MY HEAD ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT. DRAFT OBVIOUSLY STILL PLAY I WITH THAT CHIP ON MY SHOULDER FOR SURE, EVEN NOW. WHATEVER IT IS I JUST — EVERY TEAM PICKED OF BROOKLYN I TRY TO KILL THEM EVERY TIME. JUST TRY TO SHOW EVERYBODY THEY MADE A MISTAKE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS WHAT IT IS, EVERYBODY MADE THEIR DECISION. I JUST WANT TO KEEP HIM BROOKLYN
