I feel it's weird that the media tries to make it seem like I don't want Ant to succeed. I'm the biggest Ant cheerleader I can be, the biggest fan. I want to see him win, I want to see him grow to be the face of the NBA, I want to see him do things that has never been done before. I want to see that.
