NBA playoffs have produced some defining images on the way to the Finals.

But perhaps the most refreshing picture is Julius Randle .

Randle has been the perfect contrast to Anthony Edwards' shooting star in Minneapolis .

He averaged 27 points, 7.8 assists and 7.5 rebounds in the last four games of the Warriors series.

Randle has averaged 18 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists on 52 percent shooting and 40 from 3 -point range.

It took an amazing amount of self-awareness to get to this point, and it’s easy to see how happy he is to reach this level of zen.

He leaned on his wife, his mother, and his agent to help him through each struggle, each transition.

Randle helped raise more than $1.3 million for the school to help it open.

He was an All-Star three times in his six years in New York .

Randle says playing in the spotlight of New York was not fun.
