Josh Hart:
"Everybody wants to be the guy that scores the most, that puts the ball in the basket and that's not everybody's path. That wasn't my path and sometimes that's a tough pill to swallow but when you embrace that when you're a star in your role and you take pride in doing the little things that breeds winning basketball. For me as embraced as I was in this city wearing this jersey that sacrifice was easy. Some days it was tough don't get me wrong but you sacrifice for moments like this"
"Tim (Duncan) and David (Robinson) were having a party against us, (now) it's ours... In '99, I had tears of sorrow, today I have tears of joy."

Karl Anthony-Towns CONTINUES the trend of Timberwolves stars leaving Minnesota and winning a ring elsewhere ๐
Where should Anthony Edwards go to win his ring ๐ค
Jimmy Butler went on national television and said KAT/Wiggins did not have the effort or passion to try and win. Now both are NBA champions before Butler.
His #2 guy scored 2 points today and was in foul trouble all night against the alleged greatest defensive force of all time, and Brunson dropped a 50% field game with 45 on 27 shots.
Respect him.
Jalen Brunson joins Kareem, Magic, MJ, Bill Walton as the only players to win:
๐ธNCAA title
๐ธNaismith college player of year
๐ธNBA title
๐ธNBA finals MVP
Imagine drafting both of them in the same draft
Deciding you want neither of them
Only getting one 1st rounder, 29 games of Anthony Davis, and Max Christie in return
