• “It’s not given that you put me on the team and we’re the No. 1 team” – “I didn’t speak to him (kobe) before I signed” #
• “It was kind of a no-brainer to sign . . . . if you know how to play the game of basketball, there’s not going to be a problem to adjust” #
• Ron’s really impressed with Kobe’s defensive effort which is more about his stance than his gambling for steals! #
• Ron credits Pau for growing a lot from this championship – Jersey #15 for Dad, #23 for Jordan, #91 for Rodman & picked #37 for Thriller! #
• “Once again, I’m probably underpaid, but it’s okay . . at the end of the day, if you can’t live with $33M, you can’t live!” – Classic Ron! #

• Ron says “The fans are so confident” . . fans tell him “you ready to win a ring” . . . that’s right Ron . . we just have a winning attitude! #
• Ron played with Lamar, Elton Brand, Rafer Alston, Speedy Claxton growing up . . also Stephon and Tinsley . . damn, that’s a neighborhood! #
• “I came into the NBA WILD, but I want to continue to build on my legacy . . I want to leave on top of my game! Money isn’t important to me!” #
• “Kobe has 4 Rings, I have none . . Lamar has 1, I have none . . I want one real bad . . I need one . . . need one man!” #
• Ron walked in on Kobe in the shower after the Boston Finals and just told him “i can’t wait to be a teammate of yours” #
• Mitch says if you demonstrate that you’ve learned (from the brawl) and don’t do it again, that’s enough for us! #
• Mitch – “Ron is a better player”- it became apparent that we couldn’t sign Trevor along with the Yao Injury, so we moved quickly to get Ron! #
