Dunk trophy is for Griffin family friend

It’s like I was kind of at a loss for what I was going to do. I didn’t really know and I’m just glad I came out with a win. To be honest. I wanted to do this, not really for myself. Fortunately, it worked out.

It’s definitely for him, Wilson Holloway, and I’m actually going to give that trophy to his family. That’s why I really wanted to win. Fortunately, I kind of made up some stuff on the move and came up with something.

I guess it’s a good thing that I’ve been busy. It doesn’t leave me time to think about it. It’s just one of those things. I’m going to fly out after the game tomorrow night to Oklahoma City.

On his arm/elbow being scraped up and the Hollywood-ish introduction:

It really didn’t hurt that bad. It looks a lot worse — just skinned.

I don’t know if you could tell but I was a little uncomfortable up there (on the stage). That’s part of it. You’ve got to do it.

On the concept of the choir and the car:

That was Kenny Smith’s idea. I was actually going to jump over the choir separate from the car, and then so, Baron Davis was like: Why don’t we do it together? So we had the choir positioned around the car, and then people came in and said you can’t cover up the car. …

Baron was just saying, Don’t try to be too fancy, don’t try to put too much stuff in it: ‘Just dunk it. People want to see you just dunk it.’

That’s what I tried to do. You try to put a little flair into it, but for the most part, I think his advice was spot on.
