You don't use it often, but you can break glass in case of emergency.

I remember when that came out, and just my thought was, I have never heard a head coach release a statement welcoming a new team executive.

That was like a first, at least in my experience.

Layla, do you remember when you heard this live?

The look that you and I gave each other?

And then whoever was within looking distance?

Oh, that's because he just got done roasting someone.

Yes.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

That is when he put Billy Donovan unequivocally...

Above everybody else.

Above everybody else.

And he said, that is my ride or die, Billy Donovan.

If Billy Donovan wants out, fine, because guess what?

He's my ride or die.

I'll let him do whatever he wants, whether it's stay, whether it's go.

We wish him the best.

You can run this organization.

You can be the top basketball executive in charge if you want to, because you're a Hall of Famer, even though the Hall of Fame laurels

largely, if not completely, earned at the collegiate level.
