Effort steals wins in the regular season.
The problem with that being your hard hat or being something you hang your hat on, rather, is in the playoffs, everyone plays hard.
Everyone gives their best effort when everyone's diving on the floor and going all out 100.
So now it has to be more than effort.
You know what I mean?
You have to be somebody that can really put the ball in the basket and make plays.
They only have a few of those guys that can do that.

So Cade is the best player in the series.
He's the best player between the two teams.
Everyone knows that.

You'd say Jalen Duren.
Okay, well, Jalen Duren's not a great offensive player.

After that, who are you reaching for?
There are a lot of guys who do things well.
Jenkins is a good, hardworking player, two-way guy converted.
