For loyalty not stats definitely.  We have two of those, 1 for owner Walter Brown and LOSCY.

They don't have our pedigree or history and their best players are still in the league.

Yeah 15 years with a team is a very long time.  Durant, Westbrook, and company also said he was a great mentor for them.

Good on him. He was always solid.

His last year at Kansas was really impressive too
