John Collins is coming out of a complicated season with the Hawks. Between bad results and suspension, it is difficult to think that everything went as he hoped. Does he plan to leave the Hawks so far, he who will be eligible for an extension before the next season resumes? He talks about it.
I would love to sign an extension in Atlanta, love to be here so I’m confident about it. We are very hopeful about this. No real discussion has taken place on this subject yet. Everything is still to be discussed, but like I said, I really feel in a good mood here and everything is fine. I am all-in and will stay straight to Atlanta. There is nothing more to say, I am ready to sign an extension. ” John Collins
The rhetoric seems clear, and the inside goals for the coming season and even his entire career seem just as transparent and ambitious.
I want to participate in the All-Star Game. I think I would have had a good opportunity to do it last year if everything had gone well. I’m not going to tell you that being an MVP or being part of an All-NBA Team is a goal, because obviously it’s always a goal. Being a Most Improved Player is always a goal too, being a Defensive Player is always a goal… I constantly give my all, but being an All-Star is really my goal. I personally think this is the best match for what I do personally. But I would like to say more, because apart from that, my goal is to enter the Hall of Fame. I will do whatever it takes to be Hall of Famer at the end of my career. If that means you have to be in the All-NBA 3rd Team every year and maybe not be an All-Star, I’m up to that. Whatever there is to do and however hard the work it takes to enter the Hall of Fame, I will. ” John Collins
The goals are high, but we can understand John Collins: it would be a shame not to aim for the top. Moreover, when we ask him to compare his duo with Bring young to other historic pairs in the league, there too the interior of the Hawks do not go four ways.
I don’t think Trae and I can be compared, I think Trae and I have our own duo. I have already heard a million times that we are compared to Steve Nash and Amar’e Stoudemire or John Stockton and Karl Malone. They don’t say we’re that caliber already, but from what people say, our chemistry and our game make them think of them. Obviously I accept each of these comparisons, they are elite duos. ” John Collins
Indeed, there are worse. Anyway for now, there are a lot of words and although John Collins has improved in each of his three seasons in the NBA, we mostly expect action now. This will be a minimum to consider one day entering the Hall of Fame.
