On September 23, Wall, who just announced his retirement, shared unique insights on the topic of Randle quitting smoking to keep his head clear and competitive. He pointed out that different players have very different choices for lifestyles. Even if some players break their regular lives, they can overcome many difficulties and shine on the field.

Wall sighed: "But you have to be clear that some people can still maintain good shape even if they are indulgent, while others cannot. It's like some people drink every night but still score 30 points on the court. After all, everyone has different physical conditions. There are really people who can drink all night long and have not much rest. They can score 40 points on the court the next day." Wall's words reveal the huge differences in physical fitness and recovery ability of individual players, which make different players completely different adaptability to lifestyles.

Wal's remarks are in sharp contrast with Randall's personal experience. Earlier this month, former Knicks forward Randall revealed that quitting smoking has allowed him to regain his sobriety and concentration both inside and outside the field. He admitted that during the period of smoking, he became numb and alienated from others, both on the court and in life. After quitting smoking addiction, he can not only accompany his family more fully, but also get along more harmoniously with his teammates. It is worth mentioning that Randall's transformation happens to be in sync with his recovery in the Timberwolves. With his outstanding performance, he helped the Timberwolves reach the Western Conference Finals and received a three-year contract renewal of $100 million, which is a booming harvest for both career and family.

Randall's experience is undoubtedly a typical case of positive change in self-discipline. By quitting bad habits and regaining control of his life and career, he demonstrated strong self-discipline and persistent pursuit of basketball. Although the players Wall mentioned who can still maintain their form even if they are indulged in life are amazing, they are a few cases after all. For most players, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is undoubtedly the basis for maintaining a good competitive state.

On the professional basketball stage, players face various temptations and challenges. How to balance life with basketball career is a topic they must face. Randall's story tells us that self-discipline can bring positive changes and help players go further in their careers. Wall's view also reminds us that every player is a unique individual, and on the road to pursuing his basketball dream, he needs to find the lifestyle that suits him the most.

Whether choosing self-discipline or seeking balance in indulgence, the ultimate goal is to show your best form on the field. The basketball world is rich and colorful, and different lifestyle choices have also added a different color and story to this stage.
