00:00I mean, Bob is a very important person in my NBA life and a very important friend.
00:05He was an incredible mentor for a lot of our young coaches and an incredible example.
00:10To be honest with you, it came as a surprise.
00:12I understood the reasons why. I didn't try to talk him out of it.
00:16He leaves on great terms with the Lakers.
00:20I think what he did say to me was like,
00:23I was basically retired and then you asked me to do this with you
00:26and I did it for two years and now I'm ready to retire.
00:29But he's a legend. We all love him.
00:32We're so appreciative of everything he did for us.
