00:00I believe in being humble in victory. That's the way I am.
00:04Now there can be a lot of people out there that are like,
00:06no, when you win the game, you've got to tag s**t.
00:10You know, it's a green light for you to be disrespectful towards somebody else.
00:15I disagree. I've won the championship. They haven't.
00:19Losing the game, emotions run high, having a fan,
00:24which at the moment I thought it was a fan, but then I realised it was Tyrese's son,
00:28which I love. Tyrese, I think he's a great competitor.
00:31He was his dad, sorry.
00:32Coming in the floor and showing me his son a towel with his face.
00:39This is what we do. This is what we effing do.
00:41This is the eff we do.
00:45I feel like that's very, very disrespectful.
00:47You know, as far as the incident between Giannis and my pops,
00:51I had no idea it happened until I got to the back and showed the video.
00:55Me and my pops have talked about that and I don't agree with, you know,
01:00what transpired there from him. You know, I think basketball is basketball
01:05and let's keep it on the court. I talked to him.
01:08I'll talk with Giannis eventually about it.
01:10I just, you know, I don't think that my pops was in the right at all there.
