What could we have done better?

Let's approach that and then let's move on instead of it weighed me down, the mistakes.

I mean, affected the way I thought about myself and everything else.

And if you're not thinking well of yourself, then you're not happy.

I mean, that's sort of the cycle that I went through.

No, not at all.

And the NBA was never something that I even thought about, you know, other than to watch it like a fan.

I mean, you know, we we came up.

We both were small college players.

My dad was a small college coach.

I thought that's where I would be and I would have been perfectly happy being there.

And then through some lucky developments.

You know, you get a chance to be at this level.

And I do appreciate that.

I am grateful for that now.

But as you said, in the moment, I didn't.

In the moment, I regretted whatever mistakes I had made in the previous game.

and worried about what was coming up in the next game and what I needed to do.

It was never about that moment.

Other than, you know, my brother has said, which is a great line, and it's really true, there's the best five minutes in life are after a great road win.
