動名詞

I get more nervous watching than playing.

to 不定詞

I'm very fond of Steph Curry's game and I'm very fond of Warriors too.

Because that was my first time watching in the court,

I was afraid that people would say that I brought bad luck. I didn't want to jinx it.

You got home city advantage, so you go first.

The morning of your first NBA Finals practice,

I still have a hard time articulating what the difference is.

There is just a different vibe in the air.

There is a different anxiousness and adrenaline.

You know you're so close to your ultimate goal

that everything just kind of slows down a little bit.

The chaos around practice, around the travel,

around the actual lead-up to the game is like, 100 times crazier

than it is during the regular season, and even the rest of the playoffs.

But it just does something to your focus,

because you know how real that moment is,

and everything is just heightened to a whole other level that …

I dream about it all the time, to be honest with you.

Like once you get that first taste of it,

like every other game is really hard to kind of get that excited about,

because you already tasted the ultimate adrenaline rush

of playing in the NBA Finals and winning a championship.

So, that's the best way to explain it: Everything just slows down,

but it's just — it's like a laser focus that you tap into

that you never really thought was possible.

There is this vibe of a Champions League final.

When I played my first Champions League final,

I remember that I was really anxious before the match.

But after the game starts you relax because you are focused.

Because you know what you want and you are there to get it.

What you said about like, it's football as usual,

as basketball, it's the same field, it's the same ball.

But it's the same for me on a basketball court.

But yeah, there's something that it does to you leading up to it,

that you kind of — you almost psych yourself out,

to where you forget like, all it is I just have to put that ball in the basket,

When you play against greatness and you play against people that push you,

or have what you have before, and you chase them,

Because you know, one, how hard it is, obviously, to reach the top,

and the amount of work that you put into it.

You always try to find a little bit of edge,

whether it's something mental or something physical,

that you can use to your advantage to kind of …

And for me, I was actually watching my first game

I played against LeBron, my rookie year, and thinking like —

from that moment to 2015 when we played them in the NBA Championship,

or in the NBA Finals, that first time like — I just wanted to be great,

And when you play against him, you get exposed, you learn,

you keep growing, you fail, you keep growing.

And eventually, for me, we get to the top.

And that journey like, looking back, I think when I'm done with my whole career,

and I look back at like that seven-year window

to get to my first championship, I'll appreciate that entire journey

And you just appreciate that journey, for sure.

Facing Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – and I played with Messi,

who is, for me, one of the greatest footballers of all time,

With Messi, I learned every day, whether during our practice,

or playing with him, or just watching him play.

And that made me stronger and it increased my capacity on the field

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he is a monster.

Facing him is a pleasure and an honor, but we have to be more prepared.

He is one of the greatest in football so you get smarter, you get alert,

but at the same time you learn a lot, too.

So, they are two of the big guys that I can relate to,

because I want to learn, I want more, I want to win, I want more trophies,

score more goals, so I keep learning from them every day.

The coolest thing is like now that I've learned a little bit

Like, they bring out the best out of you.

And you feel like, when you get to that level where they respect you

and they see you as a threat, you bring the best out of them.

And that part of it … I can really truly appreciate,

if you see some of the behind-the-scenes what they do to be different.

And you can pick and you can choose and learn some stuff,

but you stay true to yourself and you end up where you want to be.

I don't know the specific day, but it was the summer of 2012.

I just had my second surgery on my ankle.

And I was sitting on like this makeshift couch

And I don't think she'd ever heard me say like,
