JaVale McGee said before the Suns' 104-96 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Nov. 30 that the team doesn't care about its record-breaking 18-game win streak. It just wants to win.
Well, Elfrid Payton shared that McGee is extraordinarily confident in his group's ability to do so.
"JaVale always says that we're the best team in the world," Payton said. "And we try to go out there and hold ourself to that standard."
McGee's experience with the Suns has been smooth, like a river flowing with no obstruction. It is a much different feel than the rocky waters Payton endured in his first stint with the team.
