[QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 4018152, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1419762331014344713[/MEDIA] [URL='https://outline.com/EVkbLd'][B]Alternate access link here <<[/B][/URL] -> “Gonna tell ya a story,” Bouknight said Monday on a call with reporters before Thursday’s NBA draft. “I first got back to New York on Sunday. I went back to the neighborhood where I grew up, the Lower West Side, Chelsea area, and I went down to the park where I use to play and there was a whole bunch of kids there. “… And the kids wouldn’t leave me alone ‘til it got to the point where it got kind of annoying, and then I was just like, ‘I’m an inspiration now,’ and it felt [I]good.[/I] It hit me a little different, that kids look up to me, seeing us come from the same neighborhood. It made them feel like they could really do it. That’s what I want to be, an inspiration, someone kids look up to and say, ‘He did it, I could do it, too.’” <- -> “Once I made the decision to declare, I felt I was ready for the league,” Bouknight said. “But this process, it has really been a lot. For me it was broken into two parts. The first two months were just focusing in on skill work, getting my work in, my body right, eating right things, staying on top of what I needed to stay on top of. Then it’s the combine [in Chicago in late June], pre-draft workouts. Now, I’ve got to take all the stuff I did and apply it, show what I’ve been working on and go in and dominate. Do what I do.” <- [/QUOTE]
