We come back down the court and so I hit the 3 and I’m like, ‘Yeah motherf***a! I ain’t missing two in a row, K.

I saw KD in the offseason, and we chopped it up, and man to man, face to face, we chopped it up. Told him how I felt, he told me how he felt, and he was like, damn, I didn’t think it would be seen that way, I didn’t think it would be taken that way, and we talked about it.
