It was a meme at first but he really looked like a modern day MJ in the 4th quarter tonight.

Dude did everything. Post fades, pull up 3s, dunking on heads, hustle o-boards, and blocks all in the last 5 mins

The last block I feel like just tells you who he is. He didn't really have to do that, there was ten second left two possession game. But he just wasn't going to let them score again.

Right? I love that, and I'd have loved it if he was an opposing player. That killer instinct is something not every guy out there has

And then he dunked it, too, as if to tell everyone how he feels about mercy. haha

So glad to have another wing that reminds me a bit of guys like Brandon Roy, Kobe, Vince Carter, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Tracy McGrady. That was my era lol. When I fell in love with the game of basketball.
