I think I'm a good listener, and whatever a coach asks me to do, I'll try to do it the best I can. I'm very observant. And when I'm on the bench, I try to see what's going on out there so when I come in, I can make a difference or try to change a game in favor of my team. You have to know yourself and your capabilities as a basketball player. I think all that rolled into one helped me to be able to get this award.
Basketball is a team sport, and the sixth man is the ultimate team player.
It's a difficult role, and it takes a unique individual to capably fill it. Here's a guy who's so professional. He never brings attention to himself. He never gets caught up in the awards that other people get. For Aaron to be honored like this has to make everybody feel pretty good.
