Would've been AWKs if they trade Gasol and he gave a speech.

Magic, still a leader after all these years.

I hope this is on youtube by the time I get home. Pretty sure NBA.com might have it as well.

Not gonna lie I did shed a few tears for the guy when Magic was speaking. He really has changed a lot of people's lives. If only our world could see the vision Jerry Buss had, we would all truly benefit from it.

I really liked Kobe's part about Dr. Buss having a vision and because of that vision that you see so many great players and coaches sitting here today.

Tremendous ceremony.

This channel seems to have most of the speeches.

Anyone who watched it can confirm that everything is there?

They're also on the nba.com home page.

It doesn't have everything, but everything you would want to see. It's missing some family members, some people whom we don't know, and singers.

EDIT: he's missing Gasol's speech but he spoke in Spanish so not everyone would understand him.

Thanks! Yeah I figured from you guys's comments that there was gonna be some parts that wouldn't mean as much to us. I'll try to look for a video of Pau's with subtitles.

The ceremony was great except that random ass guy who spoke that wasn't on the brochure.

Did anyone figure out who it was?
