Great fukking player
Say what you want about the East (overstated) but in moments of extreme adversity, when teammates were injured or underplaying he always stepped up. Possibly the most dominant player in series clinching, elimination and back against the wall games and the stats/win loss record numbers speak for themselves.
The endurance and durability that it takes, the mental preparation, the ability to maintain and build chemistry from team to team, coach to coach, and changing role players to go along with his performance shyt is really special.
