11:31 am
know that. it's been a 2-year process to have us go through development and be able to present what we are presenting today. from a basketball point, gog is a greatest of all time. when you think of the warrior season so far in our franchise season in the whole year, this is the greatest we've had. [ cheers and applause ] >> i think dramon when you think of the chinese community and the culture there is such a sense of family and you see multi-generation really people hanging out together as well as attending games and the honor of people that have come before them. the camaraderie of this warriors team is so exceptional that it should be a high school team or youngster team, yet it is an nba team. what is so special about this years warriors and this group and this staff of
11:32 am
players together? >> it's amazing the chemistry throughout the entire organization. it's not just the players or the staff. it's the entire organization from the marketing department to the pr department, everyone. you can feel that love, feel that bond. it shows where this organization has come over the last 4 years from an organization who, i mean, you look at the calendar from what i have heard and you mark it to a win to now you wonder what's going on. it's a testament to everyone who has been involved from building this from the organization to rick wells to joe and peter buying the team and revamping everything and everybody is super close and it's a family. it's building the family and when it helps that, winning games always
11:33 am
helps but everybody enjoying being around each other and you speak and you feel like family. anytime you feel that way off the court, it makes everything on the court a lot easier. >> harrison tell me what it's like to wear the jerseys nationally and internationally and have this fan base so extended. >> that is our fan base. not only is it diverse but our fans they are almost a part of the family. they come out to every game. i remember rookie year, we were losing games and still they were packing the house and now their culture has changed and they are entirely changed. to be able to wear this uniform and have that sense of pride and showing that we are
11:34 am
doing something different state of the art, it's great to be a part of. >> one guy whose big part of the presence and future is mayor ed lee. when you think of the building in process in san francisco, we already have the best basketball team. we might as well have the best place to play in. this is the best to happen. this can happen in san francisco because ed lee puts that to rest. everything has happened and can happen through his leadership. rick, why don't you talk to one of the biggest warrior fans we had. i know he was building the arena and talking to the warriors last night. >> before i bring mayor lee, i want to say how proud and happy i am. it means so much to me and i'm sure the audience as well.
11:35 am
[ cheers and applause ] the first chinese american sportscaster i have always tried to spotlight asian american athletes and asian americans love sports just as much as everybody and you go to warrior games and you see chinese american faces there and it's great to see the warriors recognize the strong fan base they have in this community and now they are wearing these jerseys. hats off to the organization. okay, mayor. some tough questions here. are they going to ask you who is your favorite team or local sportscaster. we'll skip those questions. i know you have been a warriors fan for a long time. to see those jerseys, what does it make you feel like? >>
11:36 am
>>mayor edwin m. lee: the greatest team is not just the warriors. they are our community's team. that's something different. it's great to see dramon and harrison here honoring us in this stadium and honoring our hero and this special unveil with your presentation of our cultural diversity and bring this on an international scale is really a part of the dna of san francisco. i'm proud of our community. i'm proud of the past representative. obviously i stand on their shoulders when i'm the mayor of this great city. i truly appreciate it. i also want to let dramon and harrison that i used to dunk. of course, after dunkin donuts, right? i used to stick my tongue out
11:37 am
and run down the court and like harrison, i used to sky jump and nobody could touch me. of course i woke up after that. but i say this to rick and the entire warriors organization from the very ownership and the day it was announced, we were feeling that it was going to be a huge difference in approach, not only in just building the arena but a relationship with the communities. you've done that. and nick used individuals in advocating in the community and your presence of time and the values we want the kids to grow up with the values and strong teamwork, a dedication of excellence, of supporting each other because that's how we are going to succeed in the city and this represents that. with this uniform, my gosh, don't be surprised if you will find thousands of people in the chinese new
11:38 am
year's wearing it because it's going to be that popular and they'll want to display it because this signals pride and we strongly feel that the warriors are part of the community and hopefully many more years to continue this relationship. i can't wait until that arena gets built and you are here in our city, but also everywhere you play, i think you hold yourselves high because of what you do throughout the court as well. >> bob just mentioned this. how proud are you about the team so far? >> i went to the mayor's conference in dc and i go to brag. the president was there. i said we have the best nba team and what do you got? no answer. the record is fantastic and
11:39 am
how you do it and especially 19 in a row? you've broken that very and these are not easy records to break. i mean, you've got other professionals that have spent all the years accepting this but you are able to do it and i'm very proud of you. i'm proud of your display of the creative innovation on the court. that kind of blends with what we are asking everybody to be is innovative in everything you do and reach the highest standards and reach all along as much as possible. >> in 2015 the warriors plan to open in san francisco. what will that mean for the city >> gosh, the economics are going to be very clearly there. you are going to find thousands of people coming up every night. it's an arena more than just the basketball. basketball is a main play but it's an
11:40 am
entertainment center and that's where peter and joe had a center where a lot of activities are going to compliment the exciting basketball that we have. i personally do think that you know when there was an announcement to come back to san francisco, i truly thought the value of the team tripled over night because of literally the kind of excitement that our city brings in attention, not only sports teams but to all the things that go with it. i'm excited for this arena, for it comes back. i know the warriors have a lot of stories about the history of this team to share with everybody, the excitement of past championships and the teams that are a part of it. more and more as these kids realize, it's the entire story of what this team will do for the city and you will find a huge draw where it's going
11:41 am
to be in a place where so much positive activities are going to happen. the innovation right across the street, right down the block where the world class pharmaceutical companies are using stem research to create solutions to the newest, the historic diseases that have not been cured. that's going to happen alongside your sports innovation and your incredible aspirations that happen as part of this team. >> as a chinese american, how does it make you feel ? >> you know, i have to say, i think just like you, the immediate sense of pride, the ability to share. i think you also known even for you young players, you have to recognize that for the histories that we have grown up in, there always wasn't good times for chinese americans in the country. in fact we have a history in
11:42 am
the country that we teach kids and that's why there is so much embracement of opportunities to our kids because those are not opportunities afforded to our parents and grandparents. there was a tremendous blockage for that and now for us to enjoy equality is really a strong word in this community that has a lot of history where it was constantly blocked, it was blocked for african americans if not more so and for asians to come out into a community to be very much respected and regarded has truly changed. >> thank you very much, mayor. >> well, i think if mayor lee is having dreams of dunking and shooting 3s. he's got to have the appropriate attire to do that. rick, if
