That being preseason ranked number one or being on the cover of frickin' Sports Illustrated is not a curse nor a validation.

It's just...

noise out there and if we do it and you go we told you you'd be number one we'll look at you and go oh well thank you but that's it I'm not they don't need a pep rally to go the rest of the world thinks you can win this too right

Well, good for them.

We're not playing for them.

We're doing our thing.

I have a mission here.

I believe in a path that I'm on.

And I'm going beyond this hype, or I'm going beyond this game.

I'm prepared mentally and spiritually for an entire season of hell.

I'm prepared to fight this assassin on the other side of me that wants to defend and do to me what I want to do to them.

Making the resistance or the adversary seem bigger and longer and going to be more tumultuous seems to be a good way to succeed going beyond and all of a sudden you look up.

I get this from when I've done my best acting.

I didn't know it was the last day.

When they yelled cut at the end of the last scene of the last day of shooting, I was walking off going, all right, see you tomorrow.

And they're like, no, no, no, there is no tomorrow.

You were just in the zone.

That's it.

Yeah.

That's it?
