Y/N
One of the moments I dreamed about is finally here. Playing in an NBA playoff game is a crazy feeling. I mean to be on a team that not only has a chance of winning the NBA Finals but my dream team at that. I've prepared my whole life for this moment and it's time to turn up. I just got done with shootaround and now I got interviews before pre game
"Alright Y/N will be answering questions for the next segment. Please wait to be called on" our PR manager says and I point to the first person
"Y/N this is your first NBA playoffs in only your second NBA season. Something like this could make players freeze in the big moments. How do you feel going into tonight's game" he asks
"I'm preparing like this is any other game. I expect so highly of myself that there isn't any expectation that I don't already put on myself. I'm going to do the things the team needs me to do to help us win" I say
"Thanks good luck tonight" he says
"Preciate that" I say pointing to the next person
"Critics are skeptical if the combination of LeBron, AD, and you can lead this team to a championship. Largely related to AD's inability to stay healthy and LeBron's age. What do you have to say to those people" she asks and my normal self would say suck my dick but I got media training now
"Just look at the game, look at the stats, and you'll see his age isn't effecting him. There's a lot of other players in the league that are injured way more than AD but people just like to say something about him. It's white noise honestly, we've heard it all and we're focused on what we gotta do" I say
"Thank you" she says and I point to the next person. I have multiple interviews over the next hour and when it's finally over it's time to eat. We got something catered so I just go and grab me a quick bite. I ate before I came of course so I just grab some fruit. Our families get to come to the arena during shootaround so after I get dressed I'll get to see them
"You see AD got him a lil boo thing out there waiting for him" Bron says and AD been single for I don't know how long. Like nigga you ain't gettin no younger, settle down
"Oh for real, poppin out at the playoffs" I say
"Chill we been seein each other for a lil minute" he says as we start to get dressed
"What's a lil minute" KCP asks
"3 days" Danny says and we laugh and he mocks us before flipping us off
"Haters for real but a few weeks" he says
"We'll see if she around after the series" Bron says
"Probably goin home wit the trailblazers" Dwight says
"Y'all don't be believing in me bruh" AD says and I stick my feet in my shoes but don't worry about tying them
"Nope" I say and he pushes me out the way. I walk out of the locker room towards the arena. There's some people already here but mostly press, players, coaches, or families of either. I sign some stuff for some of the fans that do get to come in early
"Wassup it's playoff time" my dad says dapping me up
"I'm chillin just gotta play my game. Can't focus on the noise too much" I say
"Exactly just do you" he says
"I guess I'm proud of you or whatever" my sister says
"As you should be thanks ugly" I say
"You're going to do great baby I know it" my mom says giving me a big kiss on the cheek
"Thanks mommy" I say
