“You have to win 16 games, which is four rounds, then you have to play another tournament with the best of the west against the best of the east. They say it's one of the hardest trophies to win. You have to play the best teams at the end of the year, and everyone is tired and worn down.”
“It's unbelievable and exciting at the same time. It's what you want to do since growing up as a kid, when you finally get that chance it's pretty remarkable.”
