Transcript

00:00I had the utmost confidence in my brother, man.

00:04Got a great switch, Rudy.

00:08And I know exactly what he was thinking, so it was just time to get ready for

00:12the magic to happen. And got to his move,

00:16shot it with confidence, as we know he'll always do, and

00:20took us home tonight, man. I think it's just his confidence

00:24and his fearless mentality. I've been talking about these young guys, but Lucas

00:28alongside JT, Ant, Jalen Brown,

00:32Trey Young, a few other guys that I haven't named, but they're part of that

00:36next generation that has that no fear mentality where they'll shoot from the parking lot,

00:40man. And it'll look like it's a great shot, because they've been

00:44practicing it since they were young. So he's prepared for these moments

00:48and he's built for these moments. So when things like that happen, I'm not surprised, but

00:52as a brother, I'm just nothing short of proud. With Luca, he loves that stage

00:56and he doesn't run from it, and he made a big shot.

01:00I thought he was great the whole game, keeping the guys together, his energy,

01:04knowing that we didn't play well there in that first

01:08half, but we came out, we had a good

01:12talk at halftime, and the guys worked the game, and we found ourselves in the game.

01:16Made it a little harder with missed free throws, but

01:20again, Luca is special and he loves those type of moments.
