00:00 or probably multiple times.
00:02 If you don't go to every Laker home game,
00:05 and then you're there, and you hear the crowd go insane
00:07 when you get off the bench, what's
00:09 that like for you to hear that at Staples Center?
00:12 I mean, to be honest, I don't want to say it's redundant,
00:15 because obviously I'm not going to take it for granted.
00:17 But for me, it's just kind of normal.
00:19 I'm going out there, and once I step on the sticky pad
00:23 and tuck my jersey in, it's kind of game mode for me.
00:27 I'm kind of locked in.
00:27 So the cheers are great and all that,
00:30 but most of the time I'm worried about who

00:49 that was probably the only time that I really just thought
00:52 in my head, like, wow, this is kind of crazy.
00:54 Why do you think you've connected so much to the crowd?
00:57 I think I've just been a part of this process
00:59 for the last couple of years.
01:00 I've been growing as the team's been growing and getting back
01:03 to where we are now.
01:04 I've been here for the last two years in and out of the lineup.
01:07 And then I just--
01:08 I think I play the game the right way.
01:10 I think I do little things that contribute to winning
01:13 and contribute to the energy of the team
01:16 and the energy of the game.
01:17 I think the fans feed off of that.
