【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 　Obviously youamp。rsquo。ve seen my kids Marcus and Jeffery. I love you guys. I think you guys represent a lot of me and a lot of different person as your mum, you represent them as well. You know, I think you guys have a heavy burden. I wouldnamp。rsquo。t want to be you guys if I had to. You know, because all the expectations you have to deal with. I mean, look around you, they charge a thousand dollars ticket for this thing, for this holy event. It used to be 200 dollars, but I paid it. You know, I have no choice. I have a lot of families and a lot of friend I have to bring in. So thank all of you to raising ticket price. I love you guys, you guys have a host of people supporting you, family, friends, people that you donamp。rsquo。t know, relatives ing our of the woodworks. You know, no matter how you look at it, but I think we taught you right. Your mum and I, hopefully you can make the right decisions when the time es. My mum, what can I say about my mum, my mum never stays still. You think I am busy. She is always on the go. Without her, she is rough, she is unbelievable. Even right now, she takes over two jobs. She is unbelievable woman. As I experienced the failure each everyday, it is her. She classically keeps me focus on the good things about life. You know, how people perceive you, how you respect them, you know, whatamp。rsquo。s good for the kids, whatamp。rsquo。s good for you, you know, how you perceive public, take a second thoughts and pause to think about things you should do. These all came from my parents, you know, came from my mum. She is still like this these days, I am 46 years old, she is still parenting me today. Thatamp。rsquo。s a good thing. Iamp。rsquo。ll love her to death. Iamp。rsquo。ll love her to death.
　　And I will thank a couple of people that you guys probably wouldnamp。rsquo。t even think I will thank. Isaiah Thomas, Magic Johnson and George Gervin. They are the socalled freezingout in my rookie season. I wouldnamp。rsquo。t remember you guys gave me the motivation to say, you know what? Evidently I havenamp。rsquo。t proved enough to these guys. Iamp。rsquo。ve got to prove these guys that I deserve what I got at this level. No matter what people have said, if it is rumor, I never took it is truth. But you guys never froze me up, because I was yet happy to be there no matter how you look at it. From that point forward, I wanted to prove to you, Magic, Larry, Gorge and everybody that I deserve to be on this level as much as anyone else. And hopefully over the whole period of career I have done that, without a doubt. Even in the Detroit, weamp。rsquo。ve done that.
　　Pat Riley, you and I go way back. I still remember in Pat Riley, in Pat Riley. I was ing in there, got leaving。 you decided to stay a couple of days. You were ing into my suite and told me to get out of my suite. You slid a note on the leak of my door, although you had to move, you didnamp。rsquo。t move. You slid the note, saying”。 I enjoyed the petition, congratulation, but we will meet again. And I take the heart in that, because I think in all I can see you are petitive and even from a coach standing point. You challenge me every time I play the Nicks, the Heats, I donamp。rsquo。t think you are with the Lakers, but every time I play against you, you have “。Jordan Stoppers”。 on your team, you have John Starks who I love. You even had my friend Oakley says “。We canamp。rsquo。t go to the lunch, we canamp。rsquo。t go to the dinner together, because this guy hit me harder than anybody else in the league. He was my best friend. Patrick Erving and I are the same age. We came up at the same time. But we canamp。rsquo。t go to the lunch together. Why is this an issue? You think I play against Patrick any different than I play anybody else? No, no. They had your learned guy became the Nicks, coach after you, Jeff van gundy. He said I canamp。rsquo。t be player fairly and I may dead on the basketball court. Where is it e from? I just happen to be a friendly guy. I get along with everybody, but at the same time when the light es on, I am more petitive than anybody. So you guys, I must say thank you for giving me the motivation that I desperately needed.
　　Phil Jackson is, to me, is a professional Dean Smith. He challenged me mentally, not just physically. You know, he understood the game, along with Tex Wenter. They taught me a lot about the basketball game. Tex being the specialist, I can never please Tex. And I love
