  • And I wanted to ask you fished up.

  • Have you come down from that high that I think we will rule on with you from a long way back Right to the incredible celebration here in Toronto?

  • Kind of.

  • I mean, it's still like a surreal feeling, Especially when people keep saying, like, all you're a champion, You won the championship like it still doesn't feel real.

  • Maybe on October 22nd when we get our actual rings actually sinking.

  • Can I ask you, Marc Gasol has come down from his high?

  • I don't think you guys yeah, was still message in the team.

  • Think by, like, three weeks ago, when he was in l.

  • A trying to meet up with everybody, So I think he's still partying.

  • We had general manager Messiah Jerry here.

  • He was a few years back before people really had considered the Toronto Raptors his champions and you know, he had a really clear vision for your team.

  • He was adroll master like you are today for our one of the big races.

  • I just want to ask you, since you've been with the team, how long back did you kind of get a sense that you could become Toronto Weapons could become the N b A championship.

  • I think when I first got drafted with team, our first team meeting and some early especially what Messiah and Bobby talking to the team, I was, ah, newly drafted kid coming in, eyes wide open.

  • But the vision and a team that we had and the guys that were around, you know, we always felt and I always felt that we're gonna be contenders, you know, every year, despite what the media and the outside world was saying about us, you know, I thought we always had a chance to win, especially being here four years.

  • But in the playoffs every year, been in contentions and you know, the moves made on off season leading up to this season this past season really put it over the top.

  • But I think my four years we always had a chance to win it.

  • You know, there was some incredible moments.

  • I think a lot of people were doubting you.

  • The Philly game was incredible.

  • The Philly Siri's ending.

  • People were talking about How could you come back against the Milwaukee Bucks?

  • Because you had to keep going and winning.

  • And then just in terms of winning away from home all the time in their final Siri's against Golden State.

  • What about that mental toughness?

  • An adaptability that you had toe have to get through those very tough moments?

  • Um, I think this is a team as a whole, you know, throughout the whole season we had to deal with so many different things.

  • Injuries, load management with quiet being out, and everybody had their opportunity and chance to be able to step up in those times.

  • And it just really prepared us for hidden into the postseason and then leading up to the finals.

  • Every Siri's brought a different challenge in a different obstacle for us to be able to figure out how we're gonna overcome it and bond together.

  • And I think in each one of those Siri's leading up to the finals, we dealt with so many different things that it really prepared us, you know, being ableto went on the road in Milwaukee in a tough environment.

  • I'm going Game seven with Philly and losing that first game against Orlando really helped us prepared us for what Golden State was going to do in the finals.

  • Can you share with us?

  • What for?

  • You were the most memorable moments of the Siri's for the finals.

  • Uh, man, this stuff I feel like the playoffs as a whole is ah is the most memorable thing for me.

  • I've never been part of a team like that.

  • You know, the run.

  • We went on everybody having their moments in different Siri's in different games, really contributing to get in the championship and bringing in Toronto in this country of Canada for the first time.

  • I think there's not one moment I can really single out, I think, Uh huh, everything that happened happened for a reason.

  • It was perfect timing for us, you know that.

  • I think that whole run is the most member with thing for me.

  • So I read that your uncle was a pretty big influence in you getting into basketball.

  • You have two older sisters, and I'm sure that your family was a big influence from back in San Diego, for sure.

  • From the start, my mom and my uncle did a great job of being a positive role models for me, showing it, showing me what it took and what it takes to be successful in a being focused and the hard work and commitment it takes and achieving your dreams and goals, especially my mom, raising me and my sisters by herself and going through everything that we went through growing up but always having a positive attitude no matter what she was faced with.
