"We have less than 24 hours until the next game, so I have to recover," he said. "Those names are special. It's unbelievable. I feel special to be in that conversation with those names.

“I was just going, you know, whatever the defense give me. The second half, they doubled me all the time, so I tried to make some plays, and sometimes I would break the double. So, just seeing the game.”
