“In terms of basketball decisions, I will always defer to Magic. He's brought a vision of the kind of team we're going to build and a vision of what Lakers basketball is going to be.”

“Dr. Buss set the bar high for the Lakers.”

“I can't tell you how many letters I get from grandmothers who say, 'It's the only thing I can talk to my 15-year-old grandson about.' The Lakers are more than just a basketball team to this city. They're part of this community.”

“I'm probably not supposed to say this, but the truth is, there were so many times when I thought about quitting basketball, even when I was at Louisville. My freshman year, I shot 18 for 72 from three.”

“I'm a physical guy. I play basketball, and I rock climb.”

“That's what it's all about, going out and being able to help in the community and help people around you. That's going to carry far longer than basketball ever will.”
