He's a great player. He's an All-American. I am trying not to get too excited because a guy like me who is kind of low on the radar, is licking his chops right now because this is an opportunity to show the world that you can play.
call felt great opportunity shooting shot thinking time
It's called thinking without thinking. That's what I call it. The opportunity was there to make the shot. Most of the time when I'm shooting or when I'm shooting threes, I'm thinking about it too much. So I just was in rhythm, and I felt that it was a great shot and I made it.
call chance opportunity stage win
You don't get this chance a lot. You don't get this opportunity to play on a stage like this, win one of the immortality trophies. That's what I call it. You win the trophy, you live forever, basically.

Last time I checked the roster, Bill Walton wasn't playing. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wasn't playing. Reggie Miller wasn't playing. We can't let that scare us.

My coaches are always telling me, if you have an open shot, take it because you can shoot the ball. I took what the defense gave me.
