7:11 am
that that memorable voice has been stilled forever. guys? >> what a life and impact he had, chris. thank you so much for that. and joining us now from los angeles, nba hall of famer scottie pippen and kobe's former teammate, derek fisher, the head coach for the l.a. sparks. thank you for joining us. >> we'll start first with you, derek. you and kobe drafted in the same year, playing for the lakers all those years. five championships. tell us what was it like sharing the court with kobe? >> well, first i want to send my thoughts and my heart and my family's heart to vanessa and the girls and their family, the families of the passengers. such a heartbreaking day yesterday. sharing the court, a work space, a life for 13 years with kobe was a gift. it was a blessing to be able to watch someone on a daily basis
7:12 am
strive to be the best at what they do, to be the best in the world at what they do. that's who he was and always will be to me, and that example is hard to explain to others to be able to see that on a daily basis, and my heart just hurts for -- for his family, and for the fact that he's no longer with us. >> we share that with you, derek. what do you want people to know about kobe off the court? you have spent so much time with him. you were there through thick and thin. what was he like off the court that you want people to know? >> well, i think there are, you know, as with all humans, there are different versions of us as we grow and evolve, and to be with kobe from his rookie year in 1996 to the kobe in 2004 to the kobe in 2010, his evolution
7:13 am
as a husband and as a father and as a man that wanted to impact the community beyond basketball, to think about what he has been committing himself to in terms of young girls and women in the sport of basketball, that's what i want people to remember. i want us to continue to -- to push for what he was most recently striving for, in terms of equity and opportunity for young girls, for girls like his daughters that are still with us, for girls like my daughters, for women to come. he didn't just talk about those things. he lived it. very similar to what he did on the court. he didn't talk about being great. he worked at it every day, and that's what i want people to remember about his life off the court as well. >> well said. i know you're also the coach of the sparks of the wnba, and he was a huge, huge supporter, and
7:14 am
brought gianna to the games and he was looking forward to her playing in the league one day. so derek, thank you so much for -- for your thoughts and insights. and we're going to go now to scottie, and okay, you guys were rivals on the court, but you and so many, you said you had great respect for him. tell us about that respect. >> well, you know, looking back at kobe in 1996, i was in the prime of my career and had an opportunity to watch a young man's career for 20 years, to watch him blossom season after season, to rise to the top, to be able to take the torch and really carry our league for 20 years, and, you know, he was a special player because we watched him come out of high school as a very raw, charismatic player, and he
7:15 am
developed into, in my eyes, as one of the best players we've watched on the basketball court. he had it from his style on the court as well as off the court. his competitive fire was unmatched, and, you know, for me, i look back at kobe and i watch his growth and development. he was one of those players that idolized michael jordan, but he mimicked michael jordan in a lot of ways. and it was a guy that, you know, i watched him watch films on one of the greatest players that ever played the game, and he emulated his game to the "t", and to some degree overcame all of his weaknesses and became to me, one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
7:16 am
>> scotty, you mentioned michael jordan. you played against kobe. how would you compare the two legends? >> wow. very close. two of the most charismatic players that i have ever seen in the game. iconic. those guys really set the bar. kobe wanted to be known as the greatest player to ever play the game. i mean, he wanted to be better than michael jordan. he wanted people to realize that he was right there, and that he put in the work to let you know that, you know, he is one of the greats. >> all right. scottie, thank you so much. derek, thank you as well. we really appreciate you guys sharing your thoughts on kobe, and thank you so much for your time this morning. >> we'll have a lot more on kobe coming up. we do turn to washington and that bombshell report upending the impeachment trial of president trump. "the new york times" reporting
7:17 am
on the draft of former national security adviser john bolton's book, and he claims president trump told him aid to ukraine were tied to the president's requesting the investigation from the ukraine. jon karl is tracking this breaking news. >> reporter: president trump's former national security adviser john bolton is the witness democrats want to testify in the senate trial more than any other. the report overnight in "the new york times" shows just how key he may be to the case against the president. four weeks ago, bolton submitted the manuscript of a book he has written to the white house for a standard review to ensure it does not include any classified information. according to the "times" bolton writes, president trump told him in august he wanted to continue withholding military aid to ukraine until officials there launched investigations into trump's rivals, including joe biden. this firsthand account directly contradicts what the president's lawyers argued in defending him
7:18 am
during the senate trial just this weekend. >> there is simply no evidence anywhere that president trump ever linked security assistance to any investigations. >> reporter: president trump denied the claims overnight tweeting, quote, i never told john bolton that the aid to ukraine was tied to investigations into democrats. bolton is strongly suggesting it's the white house who leaked his manuscript to "the new york times." he said there was only one copy and it was the one he turned over to the white house to review. one thing he does not do is dispute anything in the "times" report. george? >> thanks for that. let's go to ginger. >> straight to the select cities brought to you by carmax.

8:25 am
discoloration around the lips. that is a critical sign that they're not getting enough oxygen. their chest and ribs may pull inward indicating a greater effort of respiration. if it's severe, they could become unresponsive and unconscious. if they're making any sounds, that could be a sign they are moving air. you want to just observe and, you know, get everything ready. >> what are the steps for the infant cpr? >> this is really important. assume that maybe you're starting from this position. the first thing you want to do if you assess that an infant has no heartbeat, no pulse and is not breathing, have someone call 911. if you're alone, you initiate cpr. you put that infant on a firm surface, a table or a floor, and kind of tilt the baby's head back a bit. right between the nipples you take two fingers and start pressing 1 1/2 to 2 inches down about 30 times. you have to go deeper than you think. >> most people are afraid you're going to hurt the baby.
8:26 am
>> remember, you can't do anymore damage in the situation of cardiac arrest. after 30, you tilt the baby's head back a little. you put your mouth completely over the baby's nose and mouth and deliver two slow, deep breaths and you want to see the baby's chest rise and fall with those breaths. check for a pulse. if there is none, you start again. obviously we're not doing a full infant cpr course right now. learn cpr. it could save a life. >> great advice, doc. thank you so much for that very important message for everyone out there. coming up, we have the very funny julia louis dreyfus and will ferrell on their new movie. we'll be right back. >> announcer: this week, the countdown is on to oscar sunday. the stars, the parties and all the exclusives. this week no one does oscar like "good morning america." >> i think we just found a new "gma" co-anchor. a new "gma" co-anchor.
