Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony gives a lot of credit to head coach Jamahl Mosley for making defense their identity.
(via Orlando Magic):
Reporter: “There aren’t that many NBA teams that guard the way you guys do. Why do you think you guys do that?”
Anthony: “I give all that credit to Coach Mose. Obviously I’m going to give us some credit, but he from day one told us like, ‘Yo, we’re going to be a defensive minded team.’ And it’s one of those things where… shoot, I had to learn like, ‘Yo if I’m not out there giving 110% on the defensive effort; I’m not going to be able to stay on that floor.’ So I give him most of that credit for making that our identity.”
