Further, he added, “I got him a few times like real, like some tough hits. She was like he’s not playing football; he playing basketball. He out there tackling them. Somebody’s shooting the freak, though. She’s going at me and I hear her. Ya’ll stand there and I turn around. I said ‘I love you mom’ and she right in stride, she says ‘I love you too’. I can’t believe TNT caught it. They really caught it. It was crazy how they caught it and the timing of it, but it was that was for sure my moment of the playoffs.”
