00:00First of all, the kind of players they have and their coach very well.
00:16So both things.
00:17They have amazing players.
00:18Their coach very well.
00:21And then I think everybody knows their role.
00:22They have some great weapons.
00:25So I would say about...
00:26I mean, it's the best thing in the world, being a dad, just coming home every day.
00:43I mean, not every day, but when we're home, it's the best thing in the world and just
00:48helps me with everything, not just basketball.
01:06I mean, we'll see because, you know, I think they play different defense that we've seen.
01:11They do a lot of mismatches.
01:12I mean, cross matches.
01:14So that's the way we've got to figure out how to attack that.
01:18A lot.
01:19You know, I remember my first year when I came here, you know, it was surreal to be
01:31on the same team as Dirk Nowitzki.
01:34Obviously, I wish I could play with him more, but that last season, I mean, his last season,
01:40my first, was amazing just to experience him a lot, especially coming in the NBA, not
01:46knowing what to expect, what kind of player I'm going to be.
01:50So it helped me a lot just seeing him work every day, even in his last season, the amount
01:56of work he put in and everything.
01:57And it's very hard.
02:21I don't think people understand how hard it is to win games in this league, especially
02:27in the playoffs.
02:28So I think we earned to be here.
02:31We deserve that because every game we played in the playoffs was really hard to win.
02:57So I'm very happy for both of them, Jason, me and Taito, me and Brown, it's going to be
03:04very difficult.
03:05And well, they have other players who can hurt us a lot, so our defense is the key.
03:10Well, of course, I saw the one from Madrid, another title or more.
03:14People are already used to winning titles in Madrid, so I'm very happy for them.
03:28Q. How are you feeling after the game?
03:31A. About the same.
03:33It didn't get any better.
03:36I need a good amount of rest to get that better.
03:40But it's been more days, so hopefully I'll check in game one if it's better or not.
03:47But it's been great to have some rest, for sure.
03:50Q. Can you comment on Cameron Parson's comments about your relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo?
03:57A. What comments?
03:58Q. He said that you didn't like playing with him.
04:01A. You see, that's why I haven't watched a lot of that.
04:05Because people don't know.
04:07I talked to Cameron Parson maybe twice in my life, so I don't know how he would know that.
04:11But me and KB have a good relationship.
04:14I don't know what people would say otherwise.
04:17Q. Does this team feel different for you?
04:24A. From when?
04:25Q. Other teams that you've been a part of?
04:30A. I mean, I always say that in the 2022 run, we had great chemistry.
04:36We stayed together.
04:37I feel the same thing with this team.
04:39We've been together for four or five months, and we made the NBA Finals.
04:45Like I said, it's been really hard.
04:48But like I said, we deserve this.
04:51Our chemistry is great, and we stay together.
04:54Q. What are you most looking forward to?
05:00A. Just playing the NBA Finals.
05:02Every kid that plays basketball dreams about this, so I was one of them.
05:06Just playing the Finals.
05:16No.
05:17I'm planning in different ways.
05:18They don't see.
05:19So not everything is jumping and running fast.
05:33Oh, that's a long way to go.
05:35I didn't think about it.
05:37But I would just say, do everything that you can to be happy.
05:42The less problems you have, the happier you're going to be.
05:45So just be happy.
05:46That's all that matters.
05:53It's very important.
05:54Not just for me, but for the whole team.
05:56I think we've made a lot of progress being together for four months.
06:01So we still have room for improvement.
