And even I texted you in the first Game of the Hawks series to be like when Jalen had that opening quarter that was so incredible.

And it's like this guy, to me, sometimes even Knicks fans will get on him.

And I don't understand it.

And they'll say, share the ball.

And on the one hand, it's part of that thing of feeling like all these years of being disappointed.

But when I watch this kid, I don't see a guy

who is selfish.

I see somebody who knows his job is to take charge of the game.

And whether that means take charge of it by scoring, take charge of it by making a great pass, take charge of it by taking a charge.

He's just willing to do whatever it takes.

And I think the other guys see that.

And they get fired up.

Well, whatever happened when we were down to one, you know, that's the only time in this playoffs

I thought we were going to lose game one when we were down in this series, but I didn't think we were going to lose this series, not even for a second.

But when we were down 2-1, I really did feel like I so supported the Mike Brown move, bringing him in.

It made total sense to me.

But I doubted it when we were down 2-1.

I was like, I...

don't understand how we got here.

And then seeing what they did, because 2-1 felt bad, right?
