I feel compelled to thank the Washington fans for the chants they bestowed on me from the stands; it’s always nice to hear “MVP” “MVP” when you’re in the line, but it almost never happens that the opposing fans sing it in your honor. All of this means a lot to me: it means that my game is appreciated and my status has grown exponentially”.
