The 26-year-old dominated the NBA Finals series against the Phoenix Suns, who didn’t have an answer for him defensively. He’s now in the position to lead the franchise to more NBA championships.

It’s his first venture into another sports realm and may mark the beginning of other moves that see him garner a greater connection.
