(laughs)<\/p>\n Nah, this is my brother.<\/p>\n He has helped me now, since I first come into the league, he has helped me grow.<\/p>\n For us it is bigger than basketball. Outside of the lines is where our relationship truly resides, where the value lies.<\/p>\n So, when we come in here and play, I try to do my best to keep him in a good mind state, keep him smiling and laughing, and he does the same for me. I just think it is very important.<\/p>\n As these years go on man, they are long; you are going to win some, lose some, you are going to play great, you are going to have rough stretches, that is just how the NBA goes.<\/p>\n We laugh, we talk about life; we are helping each other grow. I think that is really all that matters.<\/p>\n To see him getting buckets, playing well, to get that end-of-the-game moment; not only the bucket, the box-out really was huge, actually. We needed that so we could go score on the other end. Yeah, it is elite.<\/p>\n He does a lot of things for us that do not really get talked about.<\/p>\n Cuh only shot six shots \u2013 you can complain, you can ask for more, nah, he just comes in and works. It is a part of our identity.<\/p>\n It is how elite and forceful he is.<\/p>\n Jalen Suggs<\/p>\n I asked Jalen Suggs how cool it was to be a part of the Magic\u2019s game-winning moment with Orlando\u2019s Unsung Hero Wendell Carter Jr.:<\/p>\n \u201cHe was so explosive after we made the bucket, he was JUBILANT!<\/p>\n He does a lot of things for us that don\u2019t get talked about.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/VSMEDitlYC<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Suggs](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kk1zge2tgz9wcxv1v7.jpg\" "\\"Suggs")
