00:00Honestly, just to be on the floor with him is a grateful honor and I'm grateful for that.
00:10He does so many different things on the floor that allows other people to be great and I'm
00:16just happy to be able to be a part and not playing against him or scouting against him
00:21and I'm able to kind of see his greatness up close and see the things he's able to do.
00:26I mean, of course, we didn't have a good relationship on the court.
00:28We were fighting a lot and talking back and forth, but I know who he is a little bit outside
00:35of the court.
00:36I have the utmost respect for Nicole and the things he's been able to do in his game thus
00:40far and I think it's vice versa and us having that allows us to, you know, mesh immediately,
00:51immediate conversations, understanding what it takes to win and obviously he's won a championship
00:55so he knows exactly what it takes to win.
00:58Great teammate, vocal leadership, the guy who want to listen, the guy who want to follow
01:04in the gym, so I think he's a great, great player for us and I think he's going to bring
01:08us all the good stuff.
