Monty: Because it's stupid to belittle Paul without a crown, not many people in history have been able to get ahead of him

The Suns lost 2-4 to the Bucks and missed the championship.

Head coach Monty Williams was interviewed after the game. He said: "I just want to thank God for allowing me to have today, playing the Finals as head coach. It was hurt, but I was also happy to get the chance to fight for the championship. ”

Speaking about the great performances of substitutes Cameron Payne and Frank Kaminsky, he said: "Frank was too big, it bothered me all summer, I didn't give him time last time and tonight he was fantastic. Payne has been doing this all year. ”

Speaking about the pain of losing, Monti said: "As a manager, I have never experienced such pain. When you experience this for the first time, you didn't expect to go so far, so from this point of view it is also a comfort to our players. We didn't take it for granted, it was hard to get to where it is today, I wanted to win so much, it was very painful. ”

Monti said of Paul: "It's ridiculous when you belittle players like Chris who have had a brilliant career, who have been blamed for not winning the title. When I hear those words, it's stupid. It's hard enough to get into the NBA, let alone historical players. ”

"He's a generation of talented players. I said that 11 years ago when I coached him in New Orleans. Everywhere he went, the team was winning. They progressed, he was the killer. He missed the Finals due to injury before, but he and Booker led a team that has never been to the Finals to this day, which shows a lot about their talent, dedication and determination. Chris, he's been successful everywhere he's been, and speaking of his career, you can't find many point guards ahead of him, and you'd be hard-pressed to find how many historical players can be ahead of him. ”
