Matt Ryan Reflects on His Basketball Journey After Game-Winning Performance
Former MVP Discusses Hall of Fame Potential
Ryan Led Pelicans to Victory Against Celtics
Matt Ryan, the former MVP who recently signed with the New Orleans Pelicans, put up another impressive performance in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Ryan led the Pelicans to a 115-110 victory, contributing 25 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds. After the game, Ryan took some time to reflect on his basketball journey and his potential Hall of Fame induction.
"It's been a long and winding road, but I'm so grateful for the opportunity to still be playing this game," said Ryan. "I've had some amazing experiences and met some incredible people along the way. I'm just trying to make the most of every moment and help my team win games."
Ryan's performance against the Celtics was just the latest in a long line of impressive outings. In his first game with the Pelicans, Ryan scored 30 points and dished out 10 assists. He has now scored at least 20 points in each of his first three games with the team.
Ryan's play has caught the attention of many around the league, including Celtics coach Brad Stevens. "He's a special player," said Stevens. "He can do it all on the court. He's a great scorer, passer, and rebounder. He's also a great leader. He's going to be a huge asset for the Pelicans."
With his recent play, Ryan has put himself in contention for a Hall of Fame induction. He is a four-time All-Star and has led his team to the NBA Finals twice. He is also one of the most respected players in the league.
"It's definitely an honor to be mentioned in those discussions," said Ryan. "But I'm not focused on that right now. I'm just focused on helping my team win games. If I can do that, then everything else will take care of itself."
