It’s a variation on a theme, but it’s more than that too: Joe Harris talking about how his coach’s confidence in him changed his career track. Yes, a lot of players have spoken about the same , from D’Angelo Russell to Spencer Dinwiddie to Rondae Hollis-Jefferson to Jahlil Okafor. And don’t forget who Jeremy Lin thanked for his emergence during Linsanity five years ago.
