I still remember the wild celebration we had in the locker room after winning the championship, champagne dripping from my hair, down my shoulders, soaking my clothes, then my shoes, and socks, the room was charged with emotion, surging like a tide.
A mass of reporters squeezed in, handing the microphone to Ah Gan, who then passed it to me, he yelled at me: "Coach, can we do this again next year? One more time!"
Sometimes Ah Gan's confidence makes you think he's a fool, but of course he would prove that those who doubt him are the real fools. At the 1986 championship celebration, Ah Gan told the Portland fans that he would lead the team to another championship.
Eventually, he did it, but I'm not Ah Gan, I've always been cautious, even at the gambling table, I'm a rational player.
