Their collaboration is a highly anticipated dream for NBA fans, given their history of on-court battles and mutual respect.

You’ve had so many battles back and forth, you admire his game, and to see the work up close and personal every day, how he prepares, how he talks in practice, I’ve never had that vantage point of him. Just excited to see how our games complement each other and build that chemistry to help lead this team.”
