Wemby explained his emotions during his postgame press conference.
“Winning the Larry O’Brien is a childhood dream and having a real shot at it, having a chance, a tangible chance at winning it realizing a dream, it’s a lifetime chance you never know what’s going to happen again. It’s almost like the meaning of my life”
“Really, you work, all of these hours you put in, is for these type of emotions. I want to win so bad, it’s like my life depends on it.”
