“It’s still surreal to celebrate his career and impact and measure the accomplishment and milestone of being selected for the Hall of Fame, which was a forgone conclusion. But any opportunity to go and watch a highlight or watch an interview he did, and remember where you were when watching the game, those type of moments they still mean everything. In terms of understanding the history of basketball, understanding his impact on the game.”

“It’s pretty awesome to see his wife and daughter accepting the [indiscernible] on his behalf, that means a lot to the family. Other guys KG and Tim Duncan talking about what Kobe meant to them as well. It’s a testament to his impact through and through. I don’t know when, if ever, it’ll sink in that he’s not here. But in terms of celebrating any moment, kind of go back in the past. And relive those moments that he accomplished on and off the court. It always tops.”
