I think being a leader is one of those things where you can lead in many different ways. I think, for me, I try to lead by example. I’ve had the opportunity now to go into this team (the Nets) and do that. So, I’ve been blessed with that opportunity and I think I’ve been a great leader so far.
People will mock but I want a Ben that’s engaged with his team and more outspoken and taking that leadership mantle. That’s showing us that Ben is maturing and growing as a teammate which was something he needed to do. It’s a good thing. He’s comfortable and seems to be enjoying himself and truly enjoying being back on the floor and back in the locker room amongst the guys, which is also a good thing.
