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

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.

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.

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 championship

seven, as a player or a coach. why is this group so special? >> well, it's a combination of talent and commitment to each other and the unselfish nature of all of them. did you say that i had to fit kevin durant in? >> doris: yeah. >> it really wasn't that hard. but thanks. >> doris: congratulations. for the presentation of the 2017 bill russell most valuable player award for the nba finals, please welcome back nba commissioner adam silver. >> in his tenth year in the league, he's been a perennial all-star. he's been the league mvp. but he's never been the finals mvp. your bill russell 2017 finals mvp -- kevin durant.

>> doris: kevin, your basketball resume when you arrived here, already read multi-time scoring champion, nba mvp. but now, it will read nba champion. and finals mvp. why are those things important to you? >> it's a team sport, you know, and you want to achieve the highest honor in a team sport which is winning a championship. and to do it with these guys is amazing. in front of these fans, man -- you guys were great tonight, we needed it. we're champs now. i appreciate it. >> doris: you took your share of

lose, you had made the right decision. what have you found with this particular group of guys here in golden state? >> this is a great group of guys. great community. great arena, great fans. i'm just so happy to be apart of it, man. i can't wait to celebrate with my teammates in the locker room. >> doris: you talk about your mom and the influence she's had. give you one final opportunity to maybe express some sentiments to her here. >> we did it. i told you when i was 8 years old. we did it. yeah. >> doris: congratulations. steph, you told us in the last couple of days that you had heard the chatter, that some of the criticisms you faced in your prior finals appearances definitely made you a little defensive. how did you t

falling short as a unit last year, to become better equipped to win this championship? >> i mean, we learn from everything we been through, and, you know, our perspective, being blessed to play in this stage three years in a row, it's all god. it's -- it's for these fans, it' for the organization, our families, to be back here, bring old larry back home -- i'm just excited to be apart of this group and accomplish something special. and want to do it again. that's it. >> doris: you guys ready for that? >> i'm sorry? >> doris: i'm asking the fans if they're ready for that. tonight, it's interesting, andre iguodala, there were periods in this playoffs where he was not 100%, but in a closeout game, steve kerr turned to him once again. can you describe what he gave you tonight? >> he's the ultimate professional, the ultimate veteran that understands, you know, every moment he's out there, he can spark us. and you don't know how it's going to happen, so,

big shots, hustle plays. it's the beauty of our team, because everybody -- we do it by committee. and he embodies that. he's embodies that since he's been here. the sacrifice he's made. and i can't wait to beat him on the golf course soon, too, baby. >> doris: congratulations, steph. klay thompson. klay thompson? congratulations on your second title in three years. i don't know how a guy switches amongst kyrie irving, lebron james and kevin love and somehow makes that look easy or absorbs the nights where it isn't easy. so, how do you do it, klay? >> well, i got the best team behind

press your man and play defense when you got these guys behind you blocking shots and helping me. and just effort. and pride. >> doris: you know, when kevin durant was added, you said there would be no adjustment, your game would remain the same. did you have to find a way to be more efficient in less touches and so how were you able to do that? >> it's no adjustment when you get a guy like kevin durant. look at it. we went 16-1. along with the other guys we picked up, just a collective effort, so, it wasn't much of an adjustment, and it's easy to adjust when you're winning. that's what it's all about. >> doris: titles make it worth it. congratulations. draymond green. so, rightly or wrongly, you said last year's failures were in some measure your responsibility. so, how did you take the passion that is so integral to the success o

where it needed to be to win a second one? >> you know, you learn from your mistakes and obviously, you know, we had a letdown last year. i had a latedown last year. but like i told everybody before, if kevin durant was the consolation prize to lose, thanks for that loss, and we champs this year. >> doris: how does redemption feel? >> it's amazing. we talked about the entire year, let's get back where we deserve. we want to be champions again, so -- you know, i feel great. and i'm ready to go pop some champagne. >> doris: i'll let you get to it. congratulations, draymond. your 2017 nba champion golden state warriors.

one of the elite two-way players in the game. his sweet stroke only surpassed by his tenacity to shut down his opponent. he's the winner of two rings now. the emotional heart and soul, who more than any of these was desperate for redemption after last year's finals collapse. a second round pick, his unique versatility at both ends makes this team a match-up nightmare every single game. and the two-time mvp, who willingly embraced his new star teammate to form an almost unguardable duo. showing his dazzling skilled, joined by exceptional leadership and ksack ryye nice. and the newest warrior champion. after hearing stinging criticism, he fit in right away. and simply played the best all-around basketball of his magnificent career. capped off by a masterpiece in the nba finals.

fuelled by last year's meltdown, including a game seven loss on their home floor, golden state craved redemption. and they took care of that craving with one of the great postseason runs of all-time. yes, they have an abundance of talent, but what makes them special, why they dominate is the unselfish, old fashioned team work at both ends. sacrificing their individual numbers for the only numbers that seem to matter to them. wins. and now championships. they came oh, so close to playoff perfection. four playoff series, just one single loss. another record-setting season by the golden state warriors. the 2017 nba champions.
