He was the coach that gave me my first opportunity to play in the NBA, so that\u2019s a guy who realized a dream for me. He was a big part of it. And the way that he coaches\u2014you can see, one thing that I always like about guys who were players and now are coaches is that they understand the players very, very well. The fact that he was a player and played a long time in the NBA, being in the NBA for a long time, he really understands everything that players go through.
