虎扑11月20日讯 热火篮球运营总裁帕特-莱利今日就雕像一事发布声明：

“来到球队之初，我曾说过：千里之行，始于足下。至于旅途将把我们带向何处，那取决于我们自己。而这次旅程带领我们与‘Showtime湖人’一起在80年代赢得了五个总冠军。这是一次不可思议的旅程，而它最终以一座雕像的到来作为结束，这让我感到难以置信。我想感谢珍妮和整个巴斯家族授予我这一荣誉。”

“One of my first messages to the team was ‘The journey of a thousand miles starts with our first step. Where it takes you, is up to us.’ And it took us to five championships in the 80’s with the Showtime Lakers. It was a hell of a journey and the fact that it’s ending up with the arrival of a statue is mind blowing to me. I’d like to thank Jeanie and the entire Buss family for this honor.”
