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.
