Rick Fox

Um, you know the real tough one, though? Let me get your opinion on this, Daniel.

When I get to, uh, 17, is it Andrew Bynum or Rick Fox?

Oh, man.

I, I, Bynum was the f- the first guy that came to my mind.

Like, I was a, a, a kid during, like, the three-peat era.

Either is a good choice.

Like, Rick Fox is, was a fan favorite, tou- you know, tough guy.

Um, I, I'd say Bynum, though, just because unfortunately, like, you never saw, realized the full potential, but he was, he was so talented and was a, you know, a, a key part of those back-to-back titles.

Um, the teaching aspect for Phil Jackson to get people to buy into a system that a lot of people didn't like.

And if then to make sure that you're getting the right people to come in and play in that system, you know, especially you're, you're supporting players, you know, Rick Fox and Robert Ori and Brian Shaw and Derek Fisher and all these other guys that you need to find the right kind of player who can operate in an environment and empower them the way that all of these things that Phil was able to do.

So like you say, no surprise that he's going to get a statue and it'll be interesting to see you know, what it looks like and all the same stuff we talk about with these things.

The other thing that I think is kind of fascinating is like we're kind of reaching the end of obvious candidates for one of these things because, you know, I think James Worthy is still out there and would make a really good candidate.

And I walk into this place that my dad had told me was gonna be this pastors conference, and I start to see some guys that look familiar.

I'm like, "Dude, there's Derek Fisher, there's Rick Fox."

Biggest buys since in the NBA.

[laughs] Yeah.

And so, um-

When you crashed into Rick Fox.

Your confidence is staggering.

He's the man.

Lord Jesus.

They did thought Rick Fox in the head of Cockney.

Why? I don't know.

What the fuck? They said

Rick Fox.

And then Rick

Fox out here fighting folks at a goddamn rally.

Understood.

Right? But I loved Shaquille, I loved Kobe, I loved Ron Harper, I loved Rick Fox, but I said, "No, I'm gonna take a chance on the little brothers here," and it was fun.

I became a Clippers fan, and we had some good times.

We had some good Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, you know, Q Richardson, Darius Miles, Deuce Brockman, and then Lob City came-

He was half African-American.

But he just looked like Rick Fox.

Like a caramel color.

Like, you know, whatever.
