00:00We'll start with Thunder head coach Mark Deneau, very proud of his team for finishing the job.
00:06I'm just so happy for the guys. I mean, this is an uncommon team.
00:11This is a great team. You know, all the boxes that this team checked this season, it's a historic team.
00:18But there's no guarantee that you end it the way that we did.
00:22And so I just wanted it so bad for them. And I was just so thrilled that we were able to get that done and they get to experience this because they deserve it.
00:32You know, the way they approach it, the professionalism, competitiveness, team first nature.
00:39I just like I said, I wanted it so bad for them. Oh, yeah.
00:43Yeah. Look, you know, the game before game six, Caruso had none.
00:47And then in this game, he had 10. And I thought that was huge, including, you know, two threes.
00:54And then Wallace hit two threes. He had 10. I thought that 20 points made a big difference for him.
01:01And Holmgren was 18 and eight with the five blocks. Dort was nine and seven with a couple of threes.
01:10I just J-Dub had a couple of threes. Chet had a three. Shea had two threes.
01:16I mean, they had everybody chipping in and I never thought they played great in that game until late.
01:22I thought, you know, the reason why they played great late was their defense.
01:26They started getting stops as we've talked about it on this show a million times.
01:31Stops lead to everything. Buckets, wins, relationships.
01:37I mean, you get stops. Everything opens up for you.
01:42And when you stop the other team and you go down and finish and get something out of the stop, you win games.
01:48That's what it comes down to. SGA, 25 points, 12 dimes, five boards.
01:54He won the NBA Finals MVP.
01:56Mentioned to you before, fourth player in league history to win MVP, lead the league in scoring, win the championship, be the Finals MVP.
02:02Joining Jordan, Kareem, and Shaq in doing that.
02:06We'll slide him in. Here he is. I'm being named with the legends of the game.
02:10Yeah, it's hard to believe that I'm part of that group.
02:16It's hard to even fathom that I'm that type of basketball player sometimes.
02:23As a kid, you dream and every kid dreams, but you don't ever really know if it's going to come true.
02:28And I'm just glad and happy that my dreams have been able to come true.
02:33And that's a thank you to everyone that's been in my corner that's helped me get here.
02:36I wouldn't be able to do it without them.
02:37They know exactly who they are. So, yeah, it's a win for the family.
02:43Wow.
02:43You know, they got it done. Now, what will be interesting, they're obviously favored to win it again next year already.
02:50And they should be. That's how good they were. So we'll see if they can live up to it.
02:54I think they're going to be back there for sure. They're only going to get better.
02:58Do you realize next year they have four first rounders?
03:01I've got all what they have for you later on. I got a big graphic on that.
