00:00 They chose me.
00:01 You know, it feels good to be wanted.
00:03 You know, I think I'm winning the championship and going to three straight finals as a coach
00:07 and I'm sitting out, you know, last year and kind of collecting my thoughts and doing a
00:12 lot of film work, looking at a lot of different teams play, a lot of coaches and what they
00:17 were doing.
00:18 And for me to be here, they chose me and it feels good to be wanted.
00:22 And I kind of forgot the second part of your question, but, you know, I'm just so happy
00:26 and excited because they took a chance on me and gave me the opportunity to be here.
00:32 And it was a situation where, you know, I turned down other situations.
00:37 I think it was more so the Clippers wanted me.
00:40 They wanted me to be here.
00:41 And I just felt good.
00:42 You know, I worked with Lawrence in Boston.
00:43 I learned a lot from him on the defensive side of the basketball, from Lawrence in Thibodeau.
00:48 Mark Hughes was my coach when I was in Orlando with Doc.
00:52 Trent Redding was with me in Cleveland when we won the championship.
00:55 You know, Jerry West drafted me.
00:57 So just being around the environment that we have and people that I know is great.
01:02 And then also having a year in my bill of just being around PG, Kawhi, Lew Will, Trez
01:07 and the team that we have in place and just seeing what we needed to do better, what we
01:11 can get better at and just having that one year of experience of being around those guys
01:14 that really helped me out as well.
