"He wasn't really talked about coming in. His name was mentioned in the draft, but you had a lot of other guys that were talked about a little bit more than he was and he just quietly made a name for himself. The funny thing is, before I came to Miami, I never knew who he was. I don't think I played against Miami that year, so I'd never seen him, never heard of him, and we were out of the playoffs and they were in the playoffs, and like then, 'Who is this kid?' So when it came time for me to make a move, I know I needed somebody who was as good as Kobe, or close, that I could bring to the next level. So I chose to come [to Miami]. I think it was one of my better business decisions ever."
