What are you looking for when you decide, well, he's the guy I've got to go to?

I mean, it's not like a...

crazy, daring pass, but it's a read you got to make, and I forgot you had thrown it.

That was a tumultuous year for you.

Have you read Phil's book about that season?

And obviously that's the year Kobe's going back and forth from Colorado.

So there's a story in that book I wanted to ask you about because it doesn't sound like you.

Phil tells a story about you're playing the Pistons in the finals.

And Kobe says in some team meeting, hey, man, I want to guard Billups.

I want to guard Chauncey.

And Kobe tells Phil later, I wasn't really agitated to guard Chauncey.

I wanted Gary to speak up and say he wanted to stay on Chauncey.

And Gary didn't say anything.

And that told me all I needed to know.

Do you remember that?

Because I don't ever, I would never imagine you being like, I don't want to guard Chauncey or I'm out of it.

Couple more very quick questions.

You are a legendary trash talker.

Who in your time could rival you in trash talking?

Can you give me anything?
