00:00It's been a rollercoaster, up and down.
00:03I had to listen to all this s*** people said about me.
00:07And tonight, it was worth it.
00:09Oh my God.
00:10Yeah.
00:11It's not the first time I've lost in Boston,
00:26so I don't want to continue to make it a habit,
00:29but they've had a few games over me,
00:32you know, and they have our number.
00:42Drew has been an example of just excellence.
00:46You know, since he's been here,
00:48his role has been different from what it was
00:50the last few years on Milwaukee,
00:52and he's been able to adapt.
00:55That's with the number one team in the NBA,
00:57with the number one record.
00:59They have a lot of great players.
01:09The closer you are to winning,
01:11the closer they are to surviving.
01:14Basically, just trying to remind us in the group
01:16that we still got a long way to go.
01:18There's a lot of young players on our side
01:20who have never done this before,
01:22so just to understand, we'll talk about that,
01:25this experience that we're going through
01:27is a healthy thing.
01:28It's not a bad thing.
01:38You have to give them credit for how well they play,
01:40and that's the most important thing.
01:42So it's less about us and more about how they play,
01:44and they play well.
01:45They play hard, and you know,
01:47we have to be more disciplined
01:48in how we defend and attack them.
01:50I think the most important thing is to show
01:52that we live.
01:53I think we showed in game four.
01:56If we wouldn't have believed,
01:57we probably wouldn't have won that game.
01:59So I think, obviously, the talk is easy to talk about it,
02:04but not showing it is another thing,
02:06so I think we showed it.
02:15Obviously, this group of guys
02:16has been through so much in the league.
02:19They know what it takes.
02:20Yeah, dude.
02:21It's a real killing.
02:24Still hasn't really kicked in yet.
02:27Just trying to, I guess, enjoy the moment.
02:30I kept saying, wow.
02:32I don't think it's sunk in yet.
02:35You know, I'm going through emotions right now,
02:37but I don't feel like it's over.
02:41This is an unbelievable feeling.
02:43Yeah, the confetti, everything's going on,
02:45but it just hasn't hit me yet.
02:47I feel Russell and what he's meant for me
02:49through my Boston journey,
02:51and his spirit, everything that he's still for,
02:56just for this to be the Bill Russell MVP award,
03:04it just, I got nothing, man.
03:09I don't even know what to say.
03:10I feel like it's unreal.
