00:00Actually, I just had to give my proposal. I had to stay cool, and like I said earlier, the team needed me, so I had to do what I needed to do.
00:13We had to get the job done, which I did. Shout out to my team and coaches.
00:18You know, for everyone coming out, they boosted my morale, mostly the commercial community,
00:23and it reminded me that I was playing for the school enough of my name, so I felt like, yeah, I need to take responsibility and do what I need to do.
00:34At college, were you trying to make a statement, especially in the second half, after only having eight points?
00:42I just came out to play basketball, and I thought, you know, fortunately for me, it looks like it's different.
00:51So, I'm glad we actually won against myself. You know, like Koski said that Kojino is down 0-2 against myself.
