And can you please take us through the sequence on the block on Jason Tatum?
What you saw when he was coming, what was going through your mind on the play.
And was there any concern about a whistle with the ball being that close
to the rim and where you were?
Sort of, your mindset from when he was coming to what happened to
the aftermath, please?
Thank you.
>> Like a play like that, I feel like Jimmy knew I was there.
He got him to the launch pad which which we teach the whole year.
And at that point, I had to make a play song.
It's the playoffs and I made a great play.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
>> Next is Surat >> [INAUDIBLE]
>> [INAUDIBLE]
>> [INAUDIBLE] Runs out there.
All right.
>> I hit them in the play you're also you're also guarding Marcus smart for
the past corner.
At what point do I have to get to the rim to get to him.
>> When he took his two steps and tried to delegate.
But,is this a new my teammates,
I'm deaf, and that's we're kind of on the shrink.
So when I go somebody else got to take my man and then we just rotate from there.
Manny Navarro >> A BAM congrats on the win.
Curious, Alonzo Mourning leave any messages for you after that block and
what do you think?
If not, what do you might say about that block
any help that he might provided in the past?
>> Check right now.
> [LAUGH] >> I'll take some Soviet.
So, he probably gonna tell me keep doing that.
[LAUGH].
But I would rather not be in that position at the end of the game.
And you know, dictated that five seconds.
But like I said, great blog is a great way.
We have one but we got three more to get Clay Ferraro.
>> A BAM Magic Johnson just tweeted the best the best defensive play he has
ever seen in a playoff game.
When you hear that, what does that mean to you?
>> know, is this you get on a big stage just gotta make big plays,
and I made a big play.
And coming from that's a great comment from him.
And just gotta keep getting better.
>> Mark Medina.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
>> And then Eric and Jimmy were praising with that block.
Just your willingness to throw yourself out there and not be afraid of a poster.
What does it take to have that mindset of about that to be a thing
>> Real one at a time.
Well, anyways, Luke were up a little bit.
[INAUDIBLE].
So, at that point was I want to reclassify but,
at the end of the day, man, you just got a play?
Did that is hard to explain because it happened so fast for me.
I will question your answers for me I instincts I guess.
>> Mark Schwartz >> And
it was magic spirit defensive play in the playoffs ever.
Where does it rank for you as a play that you have ever made
on any level in basketball and then I have another for you.
>> Number 1,playoffs.
Yeah, one along number one.
>> And when you actually executed it,
and you knock that shot away >> What exactly went through your mind,
when you realize that the clock went to zeros and you had made that stop?
>> I did get to go risk is supposed to tell me I was entire and
I'll play the whole fourth overtime.
>> But just the emotion of it.
Tell me about the emotion.
>> Well, a mom wishes was everywhere.
But everybody else around me was happy.
And, this is one of those things you it doesn't hit you until the game's over.
So, you know, when it happened, I was looking at the car when we still got time.
I was gonna close it out, and, aid that,wrap it up, celebrate it and
then we're focused on the nice [INAUDIBLE].
>> Maggie from ETV.
>> Hi, Ban. Congratulations on the win.
I want to ask you about Tyler Hiro.
Obviously he had two big threes, late in the game, but
he was also one assists shy of a triple double.
How much does it help you personally to have him out there doing everything
grabbing rebounds, assists, I know he had the assists to you on the dunk.
>> This is another element of our team.
At this point, no use don't matter.
If you're out there producing.
He was producing in life, no problem.
>> Rodrigo Hasrini from Brazil.
>> Hey, Ben, congrats on the win.
And first of all, how important for you after
when going to game two and if you're high confidence after,
the huge play that you made at the end of game.
Definitely a confidence booster.
And I came into the league as a defender so.
It felt like a mistake and it's a great great game when of luck.
And after that, and how grow,
like how your confidence growing now after this block?
>> This was, it gives you more confidence.
This is keep trying to block everything.
That's pretty much the confidence right there.
And then you get a block like that and it feeds energy into your tank.
>> And our last question BAM from Serato ego, it's Rob.
>> Bam. Just as a guy who prides himself on his
defense is anything vindicating about your number one play in your career so
far being a defensive play.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
>> I mean,
like I said earlier, I came into the league as a defender and energy guy.
So just having that moment and kind of flashback to my rookie year,
where all I did was play defense and just provide energy.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
>> All right, bam.
>> Thank you for your time, sir
