There's no one like him, man. The demeanor he brings, the intensity, even in practice. Every practice with us, he's 40 years old with a bum knee, and he's running lines as hard as anybody. He's talking mess to guys. He's giving people hard-ass fouls in practice. I'm talking about 10 a.m. early, first scrimmage, hard playoff foul. The intensity he brought, he's one of a kind. You can't fake that.
