<v Speaker 3>for all the other guys.

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>So when I think about you too, I think about

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Kawhi's shot. I also think about your shot eliminating him

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>from the playoffs. What are your sort of like flash

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>bold memories when you think about the years you've shared

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>on the floor with him.

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 3>He's been good battles, you know, back and forth, you know,

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 3>sometimes cussing to try to out you know, and is uh,

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, crazy tactics against me over the years. So

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 3>it's good to have him on our side. I think

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna do a great job. I think he has

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 3>a chip on the shoulder and just like we do

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 3>it too. So you know, we just got to go

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 3>out there and you know, just trying to get better

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 3>of a single day and beauty towards winning a championship.

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of memories, it's been about six months since you

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>won your first MVP. When you think about that day

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>that you found out and gathering with all your teammates

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>in that room, what are the little moments that you're

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>going to remember about winning your first MVP.

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, I haven't thought about it all summer,

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, just for some reason. Is it was great

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 3>at the time, it was amazing, you know, but you know,

0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.920
