Below are the watch parties of some of my friends who are still at home. During work, everyone gets together and watches some games. They send you pictures of the papers so they’re definitely tuned in, because I represent the Bahamas wherever I go.
Compared to last year’s run, how is this playoff for you mentally?
Much different. At first, last year, as I progressed through the playoffs and finals, my confidence grew. But that, trust is no longer a thing. outside the window. I’ve seen them all. I know what I can do.
How much extra motivation do you have for Luka Doncic, considering you’re both drafted in the same class and are constantly compared to him?
There is no motivation. Wherever he takes us, I’m happy for the guy because I’m proud to be a part of this class and to be the greatest draft class of all time. Obviously, we try to beat each other through competition, but at the end of the day, I’m never motivated by someone else’s success.
You became a father last year. What has fatherhood taught you about yourself?
I definitely quit many bad habits early.
Like what?
Like the way I eat. How I sleep at night. Just be careful with time. I am very, very cautious about knowing time and place and time, especially with a child. And I represent myself to the best of my ability, on and off the court.
Will your son play ball like you?
Oh yes! When he sees a ball, he looks for his circle, for example: “Where is the circle? Where is the circle? I’m ready.” Then you forward it to him. I say: “Oop go to the street. Go to the street, oop.” And he catches it and dunks at 1 year old.
