When Ant was a little younger, I’m sure he was watching me. When h e was in high school, I was watching him. It’s more of those exciting matchups that I look forward to. Right after the game (Game 7 against the Nuggets) it was funny because he said it (about guarding Kyrie). I think the whole world was lo oking like, ‘Ok, you better know what you’re talking about, Ant.’ I respect t hat, and that no fear mentality that he has is why I love him as a competitor an d I love him as a person. When we are on the court, I know he’s going to give i t his all, I’ll give my all, and at the end of the game, it’s all love. When w e’re in between those lines, he knows what it is and I know what it is.” 「身為他的同行,我喜歡,沒有什麼比這更好的,我知道Ant從小時候就開始看我打球,而我 到他上高中後也開始注意到他,這個對決讓我非常興奮,金狼第七戰後他說了一些關於要守 住我的話,我想全世界都在對他說”你最好知道自己在說什麼”,我非常尊重他的這番話, 就是這種大無畏的心態,讓我不論是作為對手或是個人都非常欣賞他,當我們在場上時,彼 此都會拼盡全力,但比賽結束後,還是會欣賞彼此,我們都知道這點。」
