"It basically let me know that...the way I play the game how I was taught to play when I first picked up a basketball at eight years old, it's okay to play that way and be able to win. No matter how many people tell you okay maybe you should shoot more, you should maybe do this more, you should maybe be like him more. it let me know that the way I play basketball and the way I was taught basketball is the right way to play it because you do see the results."
