00:00And after that blowout, that's just what it was.

00:02Exactly.

00:03No, it was a blowout.

00:04So is anybody beating this team?

00:06Because it doesn't look that way.

00:08Well, you know, it's early.

00:09You know, I think this is the best team in basketball.

00:13I think they don't have, you know, when you look at teams,

00:15you look at flaws.

00:16If they have any flaws, I don't see a team having any flaws.

00:19Other than size, and it's still just for seeing

00:21as it gets back, they will have size.

00:22But this team is incredible.

00:25And it's so weird because, you know,

00:28everybody is going to play with a chip on their shoulder.

00:31You know, and they look and, you know,

00:32I've never seen a team come into a season

00:35where they're freaking mad, you know,

00:37because they won a championship.

00:38You become excited.

00:40They're mad because of what transpired this summer

00:42with the Olympics and stuff.

00:44What was the biggest challenge for you

00:47when you were on teams that won back-to-back?

00:48You did it earlier in your career with Houston.

00:50You did it again with the Lakers.

00:52But going into that next season after winning,

00:54what was the biggest challenge?

00:56You know, it came down to injuries.

00:59Injuries, and because it's hard because you go so long

01:03into the summer that you don't have the proper time

01:05to let your body rest.

01:06And then you're right back at it.

01:07So I think injuries was number one.

01:09And the second one was complacency.

01:11You know, some guys get, you know,

01:12it's called being high on the hill.

01:14You get complacent.

01:15You think, oh, I don't have to do this.

01:16I don't have to do that.

01:18But the hardest thing to do is to defend your title.

01:21And you look at so many teams that you look at

01:23what Dallas did.

01:24They won and didn't win.

01:26Denver, you know, everybody thought Denver was going

01:28to take over.

01:29They only won one.

01:30They thought Milwaukee was only going to win one.

01:32I know the Celtics franchise as a whole has the most,

01:35but, you know, that's in the past.

01:36You talk about this team right here.

01:38Are they going to be able to go back-to-back?

01:40And it's hard to do that.

01:41You got to have the right mindset.

01:43You got to be, you know, really lucky.
