James: “It went good, but I feel like I can be even better next year. I know that may sound crazy, but I feel like I can continue to get better and work on my game.

James: “It’s motivating me because I play this game and I always want my tape to look one way. I mean, my family, my son, my legacy, my name, just everything. I’m not the guy that I want to look back and say ‘Hey, he got the money and he was just chilling.’
