I can't believe how fast 20 years went by. I mean, this is crazy... To be standing here, standing on the court with my teammates behind me, and appreciate this journey that we've been along... I grew up a die heart-I mean it-a die heart Laker fan. Die heart. I mean, I knew everything about every players' that had played here. So, to be drafted, and then traded to this organization, and to spend 20 years here, I mean, you can't write something better than this... The thing that had me crackin' me up all night long was, in fact, I go though 20 years of everybody screaming, ‘pass the ball!' and I was like, ‘No passing!' (laugh)... (I also have to thank) my family: my wife, Vanessa, my daughters, Natalia and Gianna. Thank you guys for your sacrifice... What can I say? Mamba Out! View quote
