Rudy Gay

Bio

Success has a way of dulling the senses. It can make you feel like that everything is great, that there's no reason to push yourself. However, Rudy Gay doesn't see success as an end. He sees it as a beginning. So even though he can get to the rim on nearly defender, he's still working on his outside shot. And while he can block nearly anything that comes his way, he continues to work on his man-to-man defense. It's that kind of approach that has made him one of the most versatile small forwards in the league. It's also what tends to turn good players into great ones.
