“ 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.

“ The guy said NBA players are one in a million, … I said, ‘Man, look, I’m going to be that one in a million.’ ”

“ 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.

“ His [Kobe’s] desire and will to win is just greater than anybody’s I’ve ever seen personally. And so you look at what he’s accomplished in terms of the championships and what he’s done individually, I think it’d be hard to argue that there’s been a better individual within the last 10 years. ”
