WHAT. A. YEAR. 🏆💍 To win a championship with my lil bro is truly a special feeling. All the hours spent on our backyard hoop, all the time spent at each other’s games growing up, all the work we put in training together and supporting each other through the ups and downs of a pro bball career. We’ve seen each other through the roughest times, had the toughest conversations and worked endlessly at protecting our brotherhood from being affected by everything else going on. To end the season on top with our parents and loved ones watching...my heart is so full. This year was easily one of my toughest in my 14 years as a pro. We dealt with everything - nonstop injuries, suspensions, people leaving, deep internal issues, public opinion turning on us, having a target on our backs. There were so many times I couldn’t see how this season would turn out well and felt like losing hope. Even after the long career I’ve had, my pre-game anxiety came back strong this year. Once again God was forcing me to trust. So many of us poured so much into this team, but at the end of the day the results were not in our hands but God’s. Psalm 44:4-8 You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory, but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. THANK YOU to this team, our coaches, our leadership, the fans, the ones who prayed for us along the way🙏🏼 和自己的親弟弟一起贏得冠軍真的是很特別的感覺。那些我們一起在後院打籃球的時光，從小到大我們花時間去看彼此的比賽，一起努力訓練也互相在彼此職業生涯的起起落落中支持著彼此。我們見證了彼此最辛苦的時刻，也有過最深最難的對話，並且持續不斷努力地保護我們的兄弟情誼避免受其他事情影響。在我們的父母和親友的注目下用冠軍來結束這個賽季……我的心中有著滿滿的情緒。今年無疑是我 14 年職業生涯中最艱難的一年。我們面對了各式各樣的事情——不間斷的傷病、停賽、有人離開球隊、深層的內部問題、外界針對我們的輿論、把我們當成箭靶。有很多次我無法理解這個賽季能怎麼圓滿結束、甚至感覺失去了希望。即使我已經打了這麼多年的職業籃球，今年我的賽前焦慮又回來了。神再一次強迫我去相信、交托給主。我們許多人為這個團隊付出了很多，但最終的結果並不在我們手中，而是在上帝手中。詩篇 44:4-8 神啊，你是我的王；求你出令使雅各得勝。我們靠你要推倒我們的敵人，靠你的名要踐踏那起來攻擊我們的人。因為，我必不靠我的弓；我的刀也不能使我得勝。惟你救了我們脫離敵人，使恨我們的人羞愧。我們終日因神誇耀，還要永遠稱謝你的名。感謝這支球隊、我們的教練、我們的管理團隊、球迷、那些為我們禱告的人🙏🏼 #Championship
