00:00I've played in the NBA longer than he's been alive
00:03So he understands the nuances of it
00:06As far as just being around the game
00:07But now he's a man
00:09And it's time for him to learn
00:10And get better with that
00:25I want to coach the Lakers
00:28I want to coach the team
00:29I don't want to dispel anything
00:31I don't
00:32I want to become a great coach in the NBA
00:35And I want to win championships
00:37And I want my players to maximize their careers
00:40That's all I f**king care about
00:41It's different
00:43By him being a first-time coach and head coach
00:46So that's a little different
00:47But the principles that he was
00:50And the schemes that he
00:51Wanted to bring into our organization
00:55Just kind of stood out to me
00:57Everyone in this building is cognizant of the fact
00:59That he's almost 40
01:02But when we watch the pick-up games
01:05He's going full tilt
01:08He's on the court, he's going
01:09So in some ways, I think sometimes
01:12We maybe have to save him from himself
01:14That's remarkable
01:15That's unheard of
01:16And you've got to tip your heart off to a guy like LeBron
01:20If we're able to keep his nose clean
01:23Stay focused
01:27Be able to work with your son
01:28I think that's one of the greatest things
01:30That a father could ever hope for or wish for
01:32So it's pretty cool
01:33It's awesome
01:35It's historic, it's powerful
01:37Just trying to keep that routine up and being myself
01:41But also, you know, taking the time to
01:44Tune out all the noise and tune out all the people
01:47That, you know, don't think I should be here
01:50Obviously the main focus is staying healthy
01:53Staying on the floor
01:54The rest, as far as individual accolades
01:56And things like that, I just let it take care of itself
01:58As accomplished as you've been as a player defensively
02:01What parts of that game do you think
02:03You don't get enough appreciation for?
02:06All of it
02:08The expectation is the championship
02:09And so it's my job, it's our staff's job
02:11It's Rob's job, it's all of us
02:14To deliver a championship-caliber team
02:19That's what I signed up for
