Transcript

00:00 -We've got five questions and we haven't mentioned Jalen scoring four.

00:04 -Jalen, yeah.

00:08 That's what you love about Jalen.

00:12 You could go on and on every night

00:16 and the thing I love about him is he's all about the team.

00:20 All he cares about is winning and he cares about his teammates.

00:24 I think when that happens

00:28 and what do we need? Do we need a big bucket? Whatever it is that

00:32 we need he'll provide. I think the same

00:36 could be said for all the guys. Some of those rebounds

00:40 that Josh came up with were incredible plays.

00:44 -Go back to Jalen. He's the first player in the 30 and 5

00:48 in the five straight playoff games. LeBron, Jordan, Kobe, and Oscar Robertson.

00:52 What does that mean? -You just said it right there. It's a pretty

00:56 big company. It's the

01:00 impact that it's having on us. They're not empty

01:04 stats. They're stats that are impacting winning.

01:08 If he gets double team, he doesn't fight,

01:12 he gets off it. -The thing about us is we know what we have

01:16 in Jalen and that's all that matters I think for us internally.

01:20 He's our leader.

01:24 Would you like to see his name in that conversation? Absolutely. We know in our

01:28 locker room that he's our MVP. He's our leader and we're going to ride with him.
