00:00It's special for you know everybody that's around him every day to be here

00:05tonight when he hits 30,000. We just see it every day so I think we're amazed by

00:12him, the way he comes to work, the time he puts in, the attention to detail, the

00:17effort and it's translated at 30,000 points. He's just a special player and a

00:23special human being. It's historic. Congratulations to him. He's been steward

00:28of this league. He's been one of the guys that have just set a tone with their

00:31professionalism, competitiveness. He's a two-way player, obviously

00:35all-star, hall-of-famer, all-NBA MVP. He just can rattle it off but at his core

00:39he's an unbelievable human being that puts in the work and tries to make

00:42others better and obviously hope he got to enjoy the celebration, the

00:46ovation from the crowd and I know he's motivated to just continue to go and get

00:49better individually and help his team win. He's probably the most incredible

00:52shot maker I've ever been around. The way he can rise up and shoot over

00:58people, his height, his ball handling. He's just, I think,
