Anybody have a quote for Ray Allen last night accepting the ESPY for Best Team?  He had a great opening, something about another win in LA.  I was wondering if anybody had the full quote for this?

Thanks

He said, "Another win in LA", and then paused for quite awhile as the cameras panned the audience.  Derek Fisher was there and did not look pleased at the comment AT ALL.  There were some boos, and Michael Strahan laughed and clapped.  Then Ray said, "What can I say? All of us, if you look behind us, all of us on this podium here today were on different teams last year.  What a difference a year makes.  I was in the building for the ESPYS last year and I think I parked the limos last year.  I was sitting way in the back and now I am sitting three rows from the back (he meant three rows from the front).  What a difference a year makes.  We want to thank the organization for making this all possible, bringing us all together, putting us all on the same page.  We all subscribe to a phrase, a term called ubuntu, look it up in the dictionary, I'm not going to get into it right now.  We all were on the same page all year and it was great, we came together as a team, we all love each other, and we definitely grew and got better throughout the course of the year and we want to thank you all for supporting us.  Thank you"

It was a nice moment.

Funniest part of the night was the Will Ferrel and John C. Reily skit on what would have to be done for them to host the Espy's.

Will Ferrel: "We want Greg Oden to tuck us in at night and tell us about the old days."

 ;D ;D ;D I was dying laughing.

You're welcome.  Thanks for the TP.  Interestingly enough, the entire team was at the ESPYS except for Scott Pollard and Tony Allen.  (I think those were the only two not there).  Does anyone know if the team knows they have won before the show begins?  I find it really interesting that they were all there.

In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue... natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No. Not vengeance. Punishment.

Also, from the Espy's.  Can't you just hear Chris Berman somewhere outside that picture.  YWML.

Kiefer Sutherland can be seen recruiting Sam Cassell for season 7 of 24.

I'm starting to think the only reason that Fisher was invited to the ESPY's was so they could get his reaction to that line, and it was priceless.

My other favorite moment was Timberlake talking about how Shaq said Kobe couldn't win without him, and followed it up with.  "I'm pretty sure the Boston Celtics didn't need either one of yall."
