Here's something that you should know about Lance Stephenson: He's from Brooklyn. It's part of what guides his style and on-court thought process. For example, look at how he grilledDwyane Wade. The Brooklyn mindset is a very in the moment mindset; there's not time for strategy or hypotheticals.
Take his strategy for his battle with Wade for the Conference Finals. Why shoot for Xs and Os when the key to taking down Wade is right in front of him?
Lance Stephenson: "D-Wade I think his knee is kind of messed up so I got to be extra aggressive & make him run…make his knee flare up."
More Lance on D Wade: "...Tell coach to run ‘floppy,’ make him running around, make his knee flare up or something."
Such a Brooklyn thing to say. Let's hope it keeps the Pacers from getting swept.
