00:00You want to be the hardest-working person in whatever you do, and you'll put yourself in position to be successful
00:05And you have to have a passion about what you do and basketball was mine, and that's what's carried me to this point
00:24Pops you're the example of what a true professional is on and off the court
00:30You're the example of what a true professional is on and off the court
01:01When it comes to basketball, I was always the smallest kid on my team. I had a terrible ugly catapult shot from
01:09Time I was 14 because I wasn't strong enough to shoot over my head
01:12Any time you can do something that hasn't been done in the history of the NBA with all the great teams that have suited up and all the great legends and players, it's pretty special. So we've had 16 challenges in front of us and we've, you know, shown what we're capable of.
01:42We've showed up 16 straight games, so...
02:03To be standing here in front of you today, it's an incredible journey

03:07If you're confident about your strength, you don't need to show me by you putting somebody else down. Show me how strong you are that you can lift somebody else up and treat somebody well and be respectful and lead in that fashion. So, thank you.
03:38Anything you want to add, sir? I've just been mentored right there. That's amazing.
03:56Pops, you're the example of what a true professional is on and off the court.
04:03I remember a lot of your career
04:05And to be able to follow in your footsteps
04:12It means a lot to me
