00:00 What was the conversation like after game five that helped you guys just turn things around and went to straight elimination game?
00:05 I don't think we were ever worried. That's the craziest part. I laugh about it because it's like all of us have that feeling like we're
00:11 Never worried. I mean it's a game of our own. You know, we went down 20 and we're still working hard
00:16 I mean, that's a great team. Don't get me wrong, but I think this just shows the confidence and character that we have
00:21 We're never gonna quit. We're gonna go out there and put every piece of effort on the floor
00:26 I mean, like I said, even with me like I didn't do anything throughout the game and then you know go out there
00:30 And I last stretch just trying to compete and you know put my best effort forward
00:34 I mean, they're just trying to show that shows that to you know, each and every person's character
00:38 Nobody on this team will quit.
00:39 Niles, what was it like hearing so many Mules fans
00:41 Falling for you guys, especially what clocks winding down?
00:45 Yeah, everything behind your bench there.
00:47 It's been with us this whole series, I think.
00:49 That's dope.
00:51 You kind of had like our own section there.
00:53 They were going against the whole stadium.
00:55 It's definitely dope. It's good to have that support in a way arena.
01:00 That's super dope, super dope.
01:02 I appreciate it. I'm sure everybody else appreciates it.
01:04 It's much respect and love to them.
01:06 Which pride does this team take in its resilience?
01:08 The way you guys just hold together no matter what.
01:11 Oh man, a lot. It starts with our leader Ant.
01:13 He's very confident. He's confident in us, confident in himself.
01:16 It's like a domino effect.
01:18 I think everybody feels the same way.
01:21 Everybody has the trust in the next person.
01:23 The support system between each guy is crazy.
01:27 I've never seen it on a team like that before.
01:29 That's super dope.
01:31 What's your initial thoughts on Dallas?
01:33 It's a great team.
01:35 They obviously wouldn't be in the Western Palm Beach Final for no reason.
01:37 They've got two great guards, Kyrie and Luca.
01:39 They have a lot of great role players who could possibly be starters.
01:43 It's a good team.
01:45 We've got to bring it for sure.
01:47 That's not a team you can just loaf with.
01:49 You've definitely got to bring it with those guys.
01:51 Last time the team went to the Western Conference Finals, I think you were four years old.
01:56 Probably.
01:58 I say it because you're kind of emblematic of the fan base.
02:00 When you think about that, being 20 years, what does that mean to your mind?
02:06 You didn't experience that.
02:08 Every team has its moment.
02:11 Obviously, 20 years, I was four.
02:14 Who would have thought I would be in this situation, helping the same team get into the Western Conference Finals?
02:19 That's definitely dope, especially the way the fans cherish us.
02:23 I have a friend who's from Minnesota.
02:26 He says he's been a part of the Minnesota fan base for 35 years.
02:31 To have that feeling of being in the Western Conference Finals championship again is dope.
