So I'm here because I represent the talents and efforts and beliefs of hundreds, maybe thousands, of people that contributed. The top of the list is mom and dad, Jack and Cleme Stockton.

Before I get to him, well, Larry Miller, our team owner used to start crying when he talked a lot and he'd take a credit card, kinda scrape the tears off his face and just keep plowing through.

I don't know if I'm going to be so lucky, but dad, you're my idol. Always have been, always will be, and I try to copy you daily.

Mom passed away a few years back and she had tremendous strength and grace. She deserved to be here. I hope you know how much I love and appreciate the both of you.

Steve, my big brother; ideal big brother. He's here with his family, Mary Anne, Steve, Sean, and Riley.

He just seemed to know when to rough me up a little bit, when to dust me off and pat me on the back. I guess I must have needed an awful lot of beatings just for my own good.

Stacey was the big best sister a guy could have. Unconditional loyalty and friendship enhanced by some world class cookies and a whopping laugh that is unparalleled.

My little sister LeAnne. Perfect little sister. Tough and caring and insists on doing things the right way. Someone I've counted on for insight throughout all these years.

My first buddies, George Lucas, Steve Brown. I know Steve is here tonight. Growing up in a neighborhood those bonds of friendship run deeply.

My first basketball coach Kerry Pickett back there, provided the foundation for basketball, taught and challenged me in so many different ways and still does today.
