What makes Lance Stephenson such a fun player to watch is the passion in which he plays with on a nightly basis. He gets the crowd and his teammates fired up, but he plans on toning it down against Miami.
“Playing against the Heat, I need to calm down my little antics.” Lance said. “So I decided I ain’t going to do nothing at all. I’m just going to stay poised and play with my team.”
Stephenson was then asked if calming down would affect his play.
“Umm, I mean, when I do some dances and stuff, and get the crowd involved, I actually play better.” Stephenson said. “If it’s going to help my teammates, and help me stay in the game, I’m definitely not going to do that.”
I have to see it before I believe it because Stephenson plays off his emotions so much. It’s the New York in him.
