San Antonio Spurs sixth man, Keldon Johnson, shares his story.
I remember a couple years ago, I had a hard conversation with Pop. One morning, we were getting ready to play Dallas, and he pulled me to the side and told me that he thought it would be best for the team if I started coming off the bench. I said, "Yeah, of course. Whatever's best for the team, I'll do it." And I truly meant that, too. But I'm also just human, man. And I was like 24 years old. If I said that I fully bought into this role from the jump, I'd be lying. I had averaged 22 points in the NBA.
