Man. You know, it’s a.. I can’t believe how fast 20 years went by. This is crazy. This absolutely crazy. And to be standing here, stay close with you guys, my teammates behind me, and appreciate all of this. And the journey we’ve been on, we’ve been through our ups and we’ve been through our downs. And the most important part is that we all stayed together through out. You know I grew up, I grew up a diehard, I mean a diehard Laker fan. Die hard. I mean I knew everything about every play that played here. So to be drafted, and trained to this organization, to spend 20 years here, I mean you can’t, you can’t write something better than this.
