\u0022I\u0027m me if I have zero points or I have 50 points,\u0022 Siakam said.
Siakam’s season has not been bump-free, far from it in fact, but as each and every obstacle presented itself, Siakam responded in a positive fashion.Siakam set the tone for his season right from the outset. In training camp, when talk often turns to goals and hopes for the coming season, Siakam confidently stated his desire to join the elite of the NBA.Article content
In his 23 games this season, Siakam is averaging 26.2 points, 6.9 assists, and 8.5 rebounds per game. In his 12 December games, those numbers are 28.2 ppg, 6.7 apg, and 7.9 rpg. It was evident in the way he played the game in the Bubble, when the NBA took the entire league to Orlando to finish the 2019-20 season.
“Obviously, we had a great example of that with Kawhi , like someone that nothing really fazed him,” Siakam said earlier this year. “He was just focused on his goals and his goal was winning. It didn’t matter if he shot bad or whatever, or had a good game, he had the same mentality. It’s perhaps the healthiest approach a professional athlete can have, given the pressures of producing every day.In the midst of a tough stretch in mid-December, Siakam was asked how he stayed positive with all the negative energy surrounding the team that comes with a losing streak.
