"It's somewhat embarrassing that they're just going to keep leaving you open, basically a signal that, hey, that guy can't play, can't shoot. It happened early in my career, the middle of my career in the Miami-Toronto days, teams really guarded me on the perimeter. I think Houston when I really reverted back to poor shooting, that's when they started again to leave me open constantly."
Rafer Alston, responding to a reporter's question about his being able to break out of shooting slumps throughout his career, and about his response to other teams leaving him open. No link, because I'm transcribing it from a sheet of paper on the media table at Amway Arena, but trust me. he said it.
