  • “If anybody is going to make history right now, it could be them.”
  • If he expected the Lakers to put up more of a fight against the Nuggets
  • “I thought it was going to go 6 [games] even though I had Denver.”
  • His thoughts on the LeBron retirement rumors
  • The best players to never win an NBA title
