"When you’re at that stage of your career, you want to find a place where you’re gonna enjoy your job. I had to grow up really fast in Philadelphia, just being in that environment. It was stressful to go to work. It helped me grow up fast, helped me understand both sides of on the court and off the court. But I wasn’t happy. I wasn’t quite enjoying the game of basketball, but I was giving it my all. You see a lot of athletes, Jerry Rice’s NFL Life, they said all Jerry did was work. But he didn’t have fun while he played. It was just work, work, work. I went through that for eight years in Philadelphia where I worked, worked, but I didn’t have fun. Playing against the Warriors in the playoffs, it’s interesting, when you’re playing on the road sometimes, you get a certain vibe. There’s this aura in Oracle Arena. It’s like, I don’t know what it is about this place, this team hasn’t won too many championships. There’s something about this place. I like playing here. Then you see the way the players are playing. Playing in theNBA, it’s all about confidence. With any professional athlete, it’s all about confidence. They all have talent. It’s all about confidence in the situation you’re in. I just saw the way Klay was shooting the ball. Like, he would take bad shots and coach would say, ‘Great shot!’ Then Steph would do certain moves where you’re like, ‘That’s not normal.’ Not that he shouldn’t be doing it, but there are a lot of other guys who could be doing similar things as Steph but their organization or coaching staff — (he turns to Durant) Kevin, you see it all the time — they don’t believe in you, so you’re not allowed to do it. You never know how good certain guys are. So when you see certain guys playing with that confidence, you’re like, wow, they really like playing basketball here and are really able to play to their strengths. It’s just like going to college. How do I see myself on campus, how do I see myself with other students, what’s my major on the side. It’s a similar process as going to college. This is a place where you combine all media and basketball interests as far as Silicon Valley and tech. Some of the thing that the team is doing off the court, it just kinda meshed. The timing is perfect."-Andre Igoudala
