Transcript

What's one play from the finals that you will remember forever? Who am I with today? Worse champion, Josh Hart. Why the pizza after the games, dude? During the games, I have a good little workout and I get the heart rate up. I eat something kind of, you know, not healthy after it. One word to describe this championship. Oh, that's tough. It was a miracle. When the confetti started falling, what was on your mind? It was just it was just relief. Everything that we sacrificed, it was all for something. What's the habit that kept you performing at your best all season? There's a lot, but I'll say the hydration. I'm not a huge water guy. Because I feel like it, you know, it doesn't taste like anything and especially Vitacocco helped a lot with the hydration aspect. What's one play from the finals that you will remember forever? Obviously, OG's tipping. Mitch's rebound. That was the biggest offensive rebound, you know, almost ever. That offensive rebound really sealed, you know, that victory for us in game five. So those two plays, you know, clutch plays that those guys made.
