We found a way to just get it done, it’s part of a championship pedigree, our experience. ... We built this for 10-11 years. That means a lot when you get to this stage.

It's really annoying for me. That's not what I'm playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron's throne or whatever.

Someone did a graphic of me in my jersey, and Jordan, they dubbed him guarding me, and Kanye's face was on both of us. That's my favorite meme of all time - or so far to-date. I'm gonna have to get that blown up on my wall or something.

I'm 6'3" and 185 pounds on a good day, so I probably relate more to the casual fan who watches the game and is not super athletic, not this crazy monster of physical stature.

I try to make it look easy, but the behind-the-scenes stuff is the challenge.

challenge try look easy

Keep shooting, very simple. Like there's never – I'm not afraid to go 0-for-whatever because I'm going to keep shooting and taking shots that you normally feel like you can make. And I've responded well when I've had games like that from the 3-point line.

I’ll see how it responds. I don’t feel like I’ll miss a game, though, take advantage of these next 48 hours to get ready.

I think fans really resonate with that. They really love the way Gary Payton approaches the game, Gary Payton energy, gary Payton changes games without having really crazy scoring outputs … You just get so much energy watching Gary Payton defend and disrupt and do all that type of stuff.

Yeah, we’ve got enough time for that … but I’m an optimist.

From what I’m told, just in terms of ligaments around the injury and the bone that’s underneath there, you want to not rush the beginning phases of healing because that’s when you get the most progress, then, when you do put the shoe back on and get back on the court and get reps, you’re not dealing with crazy soreness or anything.

He didn’t try to hurt me, there’s a certain way he plays. I don’t think many other people would have made the play he did, but I don’t think it was malicious or dirty.

As many games as we can get is huge, obviously.

It was fun, and I'm glad we took advantage of it.

Obviously I got the MVP ; I played well the whole night. He hit the game-winner. All the history of our series and the Akron ties, and all that kind of going into how the night went, so it was pretty — ca n’t really draw it up any other way.

It’s pretty special, obviously being back in Ohio, the trophy is very special. Very humble, very blessed.

It's all about whatever you represent, in terms of your upbringing and your experience in life. Everybody knows the amazing opportunities that basketball creates in terms of the platform that you have, you've got to find different ways to use it. For him that's a great thing to do, to try to make an impact and be inspirational and maybe change the course of somebody's life in some way.

He’s been talking about how he feels and what’s going to be the last thing to come back, and that was the answer, it was amazing to watch and the obviously the building went going crazy from start to finish.
