Bulls center Andre Drummond shared his wisdom with the young players who were lacking concentration and were not supporting their teammates.
The 29-year-old player who was a No. 9 pick in 2012 mentioned himself as an example of how a player can fall from earning a lot of money to getting a minimum because of a bad attitude.
“But to be pouting on the bench, making faces, not cheering your teammates on when we’re down the entire game, come back and go up by three and you’re not celebrating that?” Drummond said.
“I’mma tell you something fellas. I was that guy. I was a $100 million guy. I was pouting, I was upset when I wasn’t playing and I had a bad attitude. I went from $100 million to a f*cking league minimum. It’s personal story I’m sharing with you guys right now.
“They don’t care how many rebounds you get, how many threes you make. They care about you being as a person, are you a good teammate, are you good locker room guy, are you someone that can count on each and every night. I talk about consistency. You play 100 percent every single time you step on that floor! Consistency fellas! Consistency!”
