00:00:00.000 | A lot of people just forget how dominant and how special you were.
00:00:03.740 | And that moment, being inducted first ballot Hall of Famer, how was that for you?
00:00:06.800 | It was crazy because they had told me before I went in that I was going to get a call about something during the week.
00:00:12.500 | And when I saw Hall of Fame, like on my ID, I was like, oh my God.
00:00:16.680 | 450 people in the Hall of Fame, and he's explaining this to me.
00:00:19.900 | And why he's doing that, I could just see in the back of my head all the moments as a child.
00:00:24.360 | Me working out, running up hills, doing sprints on the track, all these different moments.
00:00:29.360 | And I just started boo-hoo crying.
00:00:31.020 | And I cried for about 45 minutes just thinking about everything.
00:00:34.780 | Championship, All-Stars, all these, that comes from hard work.
00:00:38.640 | And all that hard work, the dedication, the sacrifice, it led to this orange jacket and getting into heaven.
00:00:44.920 | That's what it felt like.
00:00:46.120 | As a Christian, it felt like hearing, passing away, waking up at the pearly gates,
00:00:51.240 | and hearing God say, well done, my good and faithful servant.
00:00:54.540 | That's how it felt.
00:00:55.680 | Every time people see Howard, it's going to be associated with Hall of Fame.
