" How are feeling about today's game? I mean you've got to be feeling good. You guys got the dub and it's Christmas Eve..."

" I feel really good right now. As a team we executed and never gave up, which is a big reason as to why we won today..."

" Do you feel like you guys can have a run in the playoffs?"

" I believe that we can...we just gotta stay hungry..."


" Last question for you...do you think you're the rookie of the year?"

" I mean, what rookie is averaging 24 and 8, and drops 38 on the day before Christmas? If that doesn't look like the rookie of the year, then I don't know what is.."

I head out of the press conference room and back into the locker room. I grab the rest of my things, chat with a few people, and go to where Anasyia is at. It takes a few minutes before we can head out to the car since the media is all in our face, taking pictures and asking a bunch of questions.

Once we get to the car, we head to the house and I get some rest before we head out to Oakland. I planned on driving there, so I need to get rested up so I can focus on the road.

5 HOURS LATER....

" This is a pretty big house..." Anasyia says as we pull up to the my aunt's crib.

" Yeah, there's like 5 rooms in here.."

" Do you know if anyone else is staying here?"

" I think it's just us..maybe my brother, I don't know."

Once I park, I grab a few bags and lead Anasyia to the door. I press the doorbell, waiting for someone to answer it.

" hey aunt Lori.." I say.

" look at god....my, you've gotten big Jace....how are you?" My aunt says giving me a side hug.

" I'm doing well...and yourself?"

" I'm doing great...is this your young lady?"

" yes...Anasyia this is my aunt Lori... and this is Anaysia.." I say, introducing the two. My aunt welcomes her with open arms and we finally go inside the house.

" Hey big man... I just watched you play...dropped 38 points easy!" my uncle Bruce says from the kitchen.

" yeah....the NBA needs to get used to me." I say as I dap him up.
