“One of my teammates was calling me soft, I don’t play that shit,” Myles Turner said after the Indiana Pacers win over the Los Angeles Lakers. “Then, two, it’s just something I know I have to be able to do. I can’t settle for jumpers and shit.”
Myles, you’ve changed.
18 games after one of Turner’s teammates — we don’t know which — question his toughness, it’s clear what was said lit a fire under Turner. A modest increase to 13.4 points a game and 7.6 rebounds a game may not seem like much, but the way he is playing now is making the Pacers a better team.
