So Hansen's words were actually meant to influence the Pelicans, especially James' mindset.
If James hadn't reached the Finals, losing wouldn't be a big deal. After all, he's already lost for 14 consecutive years since 2003, what's another time?
But if he makes it and then loses, letting Hansen steal this biggest show in history, that's sure to cause psychological problems.
After all, dynasties might come again, but being the backdrop of a dynasty is unique.
So just ask James if he really wants to make it to the Finals!
Before the game starts, Rondo and Hansen talked about where to go after leaving the Cavaliers.
Besides Griffin and Gilbert, Rondo is the only one who knows Hansen will leave the Cavaliers this summer.
Or rather, Rondo, his college teammate and roommate, is his most trusted personal team member.
Hansen's first choice is definitely a big city.
Note, it's a big city, not a big market.
Because with Hansen's influence, wherever he goes will become a big market.
