And he was asked about sort of the pressure of the situation and went on to sort of say that the best thing he does is sort of isolate himself and accept what the sort of situation is and that it doesn't really bother him because he said, I'm built for this.
And that doesn't mean in one way or the other whether he's going to lead the Spurs back in any way in a series now, whether they're going to come back and win four in a row or they're going to get swept or anything like that.
But this is a kid who certainly seems like he's equipped mentally for being the star of the show, for being the face of the NBA, for being a star on a global stage that it just doesn't feel like

It's $75,000 if you want to have your feet on the hardwood with a courtside seat.
This is a down payment for a car or a down payment for a house to get into Madison Square Garden for an NBA finals game.
It's kind of nuts.
Josh Hart yesterday said โ he kind of said, look, I wish ticket prices were a little bit less because people who have been waiting for this for a long time, some of the fans who are the hardcore blue-collar fans have been waiting for this, aren't going to be able to afford to get in.
And we've heard comments from Donald Trump and others about this.
But Jose Alvarado, who's probably the ninth or tenth guy on the roster, is a Queens native, Brooklyn native, born in Brooklyn, grew up in Queens, and said, look, I'm going to host a watch party.
My high school's hosting a watch party.
