From the moment me and him got to sit down, because when he came to the team, I was dealing with my broken foot and I was out that whole year, but and I was in Portland at the time and I was away from the team. But when I came back, you know, him and Larry Nance, you know, they would go out and get food and we would, you know, talk about what it looks like to be a pro, to be one of the greats and stuff like that. And you know, he would always kind of hold me to that standard.”
