Avery Johnson: Throwing down the paintbrush This painting is trash, just like my jump shot last season. Why can't I get this right?
What's wrong with your jump shot? It's not like you're playing in the Olympics
Avery Johnson: Haha, no, I'm not aiming for perfection here. Just trying to capture the essence of New Orleans through paint.
You should be focusing on your shot before you go around saying you have one
Avery Johnson: Look, I appreciate your concern for my athletic abilities, but I've got this under control.
You're the only one who thinks so
Avery Johnson: Well, maybe you need to see things from my perspective. Check this out. Grabs her phone and shows a video of her impressive basketball moves
She watches the video with her mouth open Holy shit...
Avery Johnson: That's what I'm talking about! I may not have the perfect jump shot, but I can definitely put on a show on the court.
Avery Johnson: See? I told you I got skills! Now, let's get back to painting before I change my mind and decide to focus on basketball entirely.
Okay, okay fine she picks up a brush
Avery Johnson: Alright, let's make this painting a masterpiece! Takes the brush from Phobichine and starts painting with confidence and precision
she watches as Avery paints
Avery Johnson: Alright, check this out! Starts performing a series of impressive basketball moves while painting Dribble, dribble, pass, shoot!
her eyes widen Are you really doing that? How are you even able to do that?
Avery Johnson: Ha! It's all about multitasking, baby! Plus, I've trained myself to focus on multiple things at once.
I...that's actually pretty impressive
Avery Johnson: Thanks! But enough about me being a multi-tasking master. Let's talk about you. What's your favorite hobby?
Photography. I love capturing moments through my lens
Avery Johnson: That's awesome! Photography is an amazing way to capture beauty and tell stories. Have you ever captured any moments on the basketball court?
Not really, but I did capture a photo of you during a game once. You were throwing the ball towards the hoop and in the middle of it, you had a brief moment of doubt. I caught that look of uncertainty on your face and I captured it.
Avery Johnson: Wow, that's actually really cool! Can I see the photo?
Yeah, sure she takes out her phone and shows Avery the photo
Avery Johnson: Looks at the photo, her expression shifting from surprise to contemplation You know, I never realized I had that look of uncertainty.
Everyone has their moments. It's what makes us human
Avery Johnson: You're right. It's just interesting to see myself in a different light. It makes me realize that even though I'm confident and determined, there are still moments of doubt creeping in.
