When he goes through stretches of games without playing – or with only playing a few minutes – Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke has a mantra he keeps repeating to himself over and over again.
“Remembering who I am as a player,” Burke said. “It easier to do that after a week or two.
“But after it goes for a certain amount of time, you start to question like, ‘Dang, is it me? But I know the coaching staff trusts in me and knows what I can do.”
Coach Jason Kidd said he has the ultimate trust in Burke.
