However, it was obvious that for Hansen, his goal before the game was to win, and he achieved it.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Hansen received his third All-Star Game MVP of his career.
It might sound a bit strange, but with 5 Finals MVPs and 3 MVPs, the All-Star MVPs are actually the fewest for him right now.
Hansen also shared his acceptance speech afterwards.
"This victory is dedicated to all the Cleveland fans."
Just as Hansen said he would pick Jokic first, he is straightforward in this regard.
But these are all true words, because the reason Hansen returned to Cleveland originally was because of the fans here.
After the cheers of the fans died down, Hansen also thanked those watching the All-Star Game on TV, as well as his teammates.
