the only one that i looked at and said, he's the only one that can look me eye to eye. i knew it was going to be a battle. i was trying to challenge him. he averaged a damn triple-double. can't stop the guy. but we battled man. we battled and, you know, i told him, i told him, we tied up now, and, you know, we've been trying to do this thing again, but i want to celebrate this one tonight. >> doris: we had the moment, we just showed it a couple of moments ago, in 2012, when you fell into your mom's arms, when you fell short. this is the woman you called the mvp. can you describe what the moment was, winning with her? >> she's seen me as a kid, you know, putting in work. she's seen how i come home after losses and how tough i take it. she's been there with me, my brother, my family, my dad, my godfather, man, everybody in pg county, maryland, everybody in d.c., virginia, that been riding with me, and -- feels good to see it come full circle. i'm enjoying it.

8:52 pm
the trophy presentation after these messages. i like russo. his on/off splits are the best here. yeah, but his offensive win shares didn't even break 4. come on, check out that stop-and-pop! what do you think? my trade-off analytics indicate no one creates more space on offense. this allows him to nail a jumper from a densely populated urban area. what you're trying to say is from way downtown? i am still learning. i can see that. i am still learning. he's a skinny teenager, who'll never make it in a man's league. he's soft! s-o-f-t he's got some offensive skills, but you have to play defense. my opinion, he just alright. nah, he might drop forty, but he's not a real leader.
8:53 pm
he don't have that tenacity. he don't got that danger. scoring titles great. mvp big deal. kevin durant will sign with the warriors. oh you've got to be kidding me. traitor! weak! gravy train! that was the weakest move ever. cupcake. it's that what you call loyalty? durant out for six weeks. cry baby! the finals begin tonight. durant's playing at a whole 'nother level. and it's over! kd has his first nba championship. it's a... debate this

thriller here, but we won here. this is the champion's home. we're going to bring more, because they are great. the greatest crowd, the fans, their minds and hearts, the jewels of this team. >> doris: congratulations, peter. i know steve kerr is probably ducking me, but you can't duck me forever. steve kerr? i see you. come on. nice try, my friend. how about a hand for him, folks? congratulations. >> thank you. >> doris: steve, we have seen other nba franchises add great talent and it not necessarily result in a championship. so, how did this group add such
9:00 pm
an incredible talent and blend kevin durant in seamlessly and somehow yet still let him be his own brilliant self? >> well, we had very little talent, actually, it was mostly coaching. >> doris: yeah, okay. >> no, i want to say this. i've got -- i've got the best job in the world. these guys are so gifted. and so committed to each other. and so unselfish and i love the players, love the coaches and bob myers has been such a great friend to me these last couple of years. peter and joe, amazing organization. and i want to say a special thank you to mike brown and my whole coaching staff for keeping this ship sailing smoothly when i was out, so, fun to be part of this. >> doris: it has not been easy. this is a group that had to navigate a game seven love in the final few minutes here. you had to incorporate kevin durant. of this
