There’s going to be people that tell you what you can’t do because they haven’t done it, you know? And that’s always been my mindset,” Randle says in the clip. “Block out the noise. Focus. “Does it piss me off? Hell yeah, it pisses me off. Does it get to me sometimes? Yeah, I’m human. You are not going to be perfect in it. I am not perfect.” Randle, who’s often attacked for his shot selection, in settling for contested field-goal attempts and disappearing at the end of close games, couldn’t deny its impact. Still, he tries to use it as motivation. “I’m an emotional person. It gets to me. It bothers me. But the biggest thing that I do is I use it as fuel,” Randle added. “When you tell me that I can’t do something, that’s the biggest motivation for me. I love it, you know? “And I’m gonna use the energy not to beat myself up but to use it to just prove you wrong but just prove myself right at the end of the day. The only thing that matters is what you believe, not what somebody else believes or says about you. It only matters what you believe.” <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> “Block out the noise. Focus.
