00:00What's up guys, Rich, I told you I'd update you on Kobe, so I stick to my word.
00:07Kobe had surgery on his ACL yesterday, so he will be out for the year.
00:12He had the surgery yesterday morning and I just, I didn't want to say anything.
00:16I wanted him to have the day to kind of have the surgery, clear his head and not have to
00:20read about it all over the media.
00:22So out of respect for him, I just want to make sure everything went okay, everything
00:26did go okay, and he will be on to recovery.
00:29So that's the news on Kobe today.
00:31We'll miss him.
00:32Not only a great player, but a great leader, and he'll be back.
00:38So you know, that's the news on him today.
00:44We'll start things off with Rich.
00:47Just to go back to Kobe, how's his mental state?
00:49I mean, he's had teammates that were injured in similar situations.
00:52Is he handling it okay and, you know?
00:56Yeah, he's honestly, Rich, he's handling it really well.
01:00I'll give you an example, which shows the type of person he is.
01:04Friday night before the game, he knew he wasn't playing last week and he knew what was going
01:07on.
01:08And he called me up the night, probably about 10 o'clock and asked if he could go early
01:12with the equipment people to go help set up the locker room because he wanted to contribute
01:18to the team.
01:19So you're talking about a great act of leadership, just an incredible kid and he'll battle through
01:27it.
01:28He was in great spirits when I talked to him yesterday, a little groggy, but he was in
01:31good spirits and he'll come back strong.
