• Every Super Bowl, I do different food each quarter from each of the hometowns of the teams competing.

And at the end of the game I’ve chosen a dessert based on who I think is going to win.

With our halftime talking to the coaches we are really trying to get something meaningful there and something that helps spin the game forward.

• At halftime [of Game 7], one of our oldest guys on the team, James Jones, came to me, and he's like, "Man, it's time for you to do something. You've been sleeping the whole playoffs, the whole final series." First couple of shots I got coming out, I was like, "You know what, I'm gonna shoot it." Fortunately they fell, and we started making our way back.
