How he was always locked into the game and how he always paid so much attention to details,” Sexton said. “At any given time, he could take the game over whether it was just scoring or his passing. He just had really good feel for the game and you can definitely see it just watching the highlights and just watching how much he was a superstar whether it was on the court or off the court.”
