DALLAS -- Wesley Matthews told us so.
He promised that he’d be a better player than he was before he ruptured his left Achilles tendon, an injury that has ruined many NBA careers. He didn’t care how much the odds were against him or how many people doubted him, particularly after he had the worst shooting season of his career in his comeback year, struggles that were magnified by the spotlight that came along with signing a maximum contract with the Dallas Mavericks.
Matthews claims the ugly statistics, which continued in the first month of this season, never affected his confidence.
