DeAndre Jordan

I'm a Cowboys fan anyway, so, like, I got to experience that firsthand.

So it was fun and a nice little time in my life.

the weird part of my career.

Yeah, I think even now and back then, I prepare every game like I'm going to play it.

Like I'm going to play 30 minutes like that's my pregame routine, whether it's my nap, how I prepare.

I'm drenched in layup line.

So I'm going into every game like I'm going to play.

And, you know, during that playoff run, I played against Minnesota, didn't play against the Lakers.

And, you know, it you kind of it kind of changes up a little bit.

So anytime you have to be ready and people talk about staying ready, but it's that's a real thing.

Nicola was in foul trouble.

Mo looked down at me and he said, DJ, let's go.

And I didn't think about, oh, well, this is the championship.

I'm like, this is the opportunity that I've wanted, you know.

Whether it's two minutes or 12 minutes, 20 minutes, whatever it is, I'm going to go out there and play as hard as I can and try to make some winning plays.

And ultimately I did that.

We won a championship.

And I just kind of embraced that role to whatever it was.

I wanted to be able to compete and help the team out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
