Transcript

00:00I've played in the NBA longer than he's been alive

00:03So, you know, he understands the nuances of it as far as just being around the game

00:07But now he's a man and it's time for him to learn and get better with that

00:25I want to coach the Lakers

00:27I want to coach the team

00:29I don't want to dispel anything

00:31I don't

00:32I want to become a great coach in the NBA

00:35And I want to win championships

00:37And I want my players to maximize their careers

00:40That's all I f***ing care about

00:41It's different by him being a first-time coach and head coach

00:46So that's a little different

00:48But the principles that he was...

00:50And the schemes that he wanted to bring into our organization

00:55Just kind of stood out to me

00:57Everyone in this building is cognizant of the fact that he's almost 40

01:02But, you know, when we watch the pickup games

01:06He's going full tilt

01:08If he's on the court, he's going, you know

01:10So, in some ways, I think sometimes we maybe have to save him from himself

01:14That's remarkable

01:15That's unheard of

01:16And, you know, you gotta tip your heart off to a guy like LeBron

01:20For able to, you know, keep his nose clean

01:23Stay focused

01:27Be able to work with your son

01:28I think that's one of the greatest things

01:30That a father could ever hope for or wish for

01:32So it's pretty cool

01:33It's awesome

01:35It's historic, it's powerful

01:37Just trying to keep that routine up and being myself

01:41But also, you know, taking the time to tune out all the noise

01:45And tune out all the people that, you know, don't think I should be here

01:50Obviously, the main focus is staying healthy, staying on the floor

01:54The rest, as far as individual accolades and things like that

01:57I just let it take care of itself

01:58As accomplished as you've been as a player defensively

02:01What parts of that game do you think you don't get enough appreciation for?

02:05All of it

02:07The expectation is the championship

02:09And so it's my job, it's our staff's job, it's Rob's job

02:12It's all of us to deliver a championship-caliber team

02:18That's what I signed up for
