00:00Uh, yeah, um, the very first time was actually here in L. A. Um, I think it
00:09was my second year. I didn't get to play in my first year. Um, but my
00:13second year, I believe was the time. Yeah, it was my second year. And uh, I
00:19got the opportunity. I was matched up with him. It was my assignment to guard
00:24Kobe. And it's the story. I always tell one of the greatest and funniest
00:29moments. I'm obviously having B. Shaw as an assistant and B. Shaw's like
00:34John Adam, um, egging them on, getting them riled up, talking mess from the
00:39bench. And, uh, you know, them two was going at it, Kobe and B. Shaw. And, um,
00:47here I am in the middle while all of this is going on. I just remember one
00:51possession down on their end in front of their bench. I was guarding him and
00:55he, uh, you know, he got into his back down, um, his patent, uh, pump fake and
01:04I went flying for it. You know, young guy trying to go block his shot. I
01:07went flying for it and, uh, he caught me in the air. He gave me a little
01:12elbow, got past me and laid it up. And, uh, he ran down, uh, specifically ran
01:19down to where B. Shaw was and yelled at B. Shaw. Check the young feather for
01:25feathers. And, uh, that was the first time. First moment of being on the
01:32court. Um, garden cold.
