[00:59.46]from Los Angles to Washington,
[01:01.52]fans across the league respect your career,
[01:04.82]your loyalty² and your professionalism.
[01:08.38]They may not have liked the results of your games,
[01:10.89]but they certainly have a full respect
[01:13.13]for the man and the game.
[01:15.06]I won’t focus on your being the 2nd leading scorer

[01:22.01]that you had 18 consecutive³ playoff seasons.

[01:28.74]and the All-Star Co-MVP with John Stockton.
[01:32.55]Quite simply Karl,
[01:34.56]you are the best power forward of the last 20 years

[01:49.53]got in the way.
[01:50.99]Besides,
[01:52.02]after all of those years in Utah,
[01:54.14]I am sure that
[01:54.96]California was truly a different experience all together.
