I mean, it's very important
Obviously, you know, we know where we stand right now in the standings, but, you know, health has always been our kryptonite, but we're starting to get healthy
Cam made his 1st, 1st game back today in 14 games
So great to have him back and then everybody else shipped in for sure
I mean, he's an absolute beast
Defensive player of the year for a reason is going to continue to be great
So, you know, I've always felt like it's my job to continue to show the next generation away, show them the blueprint, no matter, regardless of sport
So it was a pleasure for me, and I hope it was for him as well
So, you know, just two kids just trying to be great
I appreciate it
Guys, back to you
Do it
Got the names
Lt will do an intro for you
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome LeBron James
Before I get started on the speech that I have, I want to acknowledge autolyze that was lost Sunday morning
Alyssa Altobelli, John Altobelli, Carrie Altobelli, Peyton Chester, Sarah Chester, Christina Mouser, Ara Zalbania, Gianna Bryant, and Kobe Bryant
Now, I got something written down
They asked me to kind of stay on course, or whatever the case may be, but Laker Nation, man, I would be selling y'all short if I read off
The first thing that come to mind, man, is all about family
And as I look around this arena, we're all grieving, we're all hurt, we're all heartbroken
But when we're going through things like this, the best thing you can do is lean on the shoulders of your family
And from Sunday morning all the way to this point, now, I heard about Laker Nation before I got here last year, about how much of a family it is
And that is absolutely what I've seen this whole week
Not only from the players, not only from the coaching staff, not only from the organization, but from everybody, everybody that's here
This is really, truly, truly a family
And I know Kobe and Gianna and Vanessa and everybody, thank you guys from the bottom of their heart
As Kobe said
Now, I know at some point we will have a memorial for Kobe, but I look at this, I look at this as a celebration tonight
This is a celebration of the 20 years of the blood, the sweat, the tears, the broken down body that getting up, sitting down, everything, the countless hours, the determination to be as great as he could be
Tonight we celebrate the kid that came here at 18 years of age, retired at 38, and became probably the best dad that we've seen over the last three years
Mandy, tonight is a celebration before we get to play
Love y'all, man
Kobe is a brother to me
And from the time I was in high school to watching him afar, to getting in this league at 18, watching him up close, all the battles that we had throughout my career, the one thing that we always shared is that determination to just want to win and just want to be great
And the fact that I'm here now means so much to me
I want to continue along with my teammates, to continue his legacy, not only for this year, but as long as we can play the game of basketball that we love, because that's what Kobe bly will want
So in the words of Kobe Bryant, mamba out, but in the words of us not forgotten, live on brother
