00:00 Hey Frank, Alex Caruso was talking about how Jared Dudley has been one of the most vocal

00:08 guys alongside LeBron James on their group text message chain just in terms of keeping

00:14 the team together and their chemistry going during the last four months.

00:17 I'm curious, how big of a part do you think Jared Dudley plays to contributing to the

00:22 team's chemistry and just sort of his veteran role and sort of being a leader on the team?

00:29 Well, one of the reasons we've had success in our season to this point is because not

00:36 only do we have two mega stars in LeBron and Anthony, but we've had several guys that have

00:41 starred in their roles.

00:43 And whether you're talking about perimeter defensive types of guys or our centers, contributing

00:51 by committee.

00:53 And I would put Jared Dudley in that boat of being a star in his role.

00:58 He has really impacted our team's togetherness and chemistry and quite frankly, just brought

01:04 a great deal of leadership to make sure that we're all going about our business the right

01:10 way and having the right attitude and doing things together and just strengthening that

01:17 chemistry and togetherness, which has really helped us to this point.

01:21 So I would call Jared Dudley a star in his role from the standpoint of doing all those

01:26 types of things.
