The dude not only still took both of his free throws, but even made one of them. He earned my respect forever that night. You can call him a lot of things, but one thing you can never, ever call him is soft. Paul George on the other hand, I have absolutely zero problem with calling him soft.

No, soft isn't what I mean. A certain lack of motivation is more the ticket. No killer instinct.
