00:00Well, for me I wasn't really, that's a good question, I wasn't really looking to get out and move to Maui.
00:07I'm so happy doing my role. I find so much comfort in doing my job.
00:14For me, I was just lucky to score today, but I just, I don't know, it's just something about just getting stopped, getting rebounds, getting those extra opportunities for my team.
00:24It's cool if I score, but when I see them score and I see them get so happy, it's just contagious.
00:30For me, I'm so happy with my role that coach gave me. I just try to be one of the leaders on the defense and the energy.
00:38A lot of times I still struggle on the offensive end and sometimes too much energy and it's not channeled the right way, but that's where I trust in my teammates.
00:49All those plays, I mean, I may have been the one, 11 points or something, but all those points, like I said, I really trusted these guys.
00:56Josh David, on those last couple plays, I know when I'm coming off the ball screen, Josh David, Dewey, JC, they're going to make the right play.
01:04I don't need to get the ball and try to make something because we have been going through so much in the offseason
01:10and the things that we're doing is really just trying to be automatic and it comes from the trust and all those hours of being together.
01:17For me, I'm just so happy doing my role and hoping that these guys will just shine like they did today.
01:23I hope that they remember how they really took over as well.
