“ I won’t say any names, I’ll just say No. 18 [Sasha Vujacic], we made a pact that we were going to grow the beards out for the playoffs and we’d see how many guys we could recruit in, and lo and behold, two days into it, he shaved. I’m left with the scruff, but I’m going to hold on and hopefully some guys will join in. ”

“ My dream really was to have the Lakers and Los Angeles identified as one and the same. When I was just a fan, I used to really object when I would go to see the Lakers playing New York and most of the crowd would be ex-New Yorkers cheering for the Knicks. Then the next time, it would be the same with some other team. When you think New York, you think Yankees. I wanted that to be the case here as well. That when you think L.A., you think Lakers. I believe I’ve accomplished that. ”

“ That was the best thing that ever could have happened for me personally for my career. To play alongside a guy like that, see his preparation and what it takes to get to that level, that’s why I was able to be so good in Washington. I took everything I learned from him, being under his wing, and took that to Washington and it made me very successful. ”
