He further stated, “I’m not going to agree with you saying that I didn’t contribute to the dynasty.? I did so I don’t give a s**t if it makes you feel that I am attacking the Warriors, I am always going to take my side and I feel like I contributed positively every single second inside that arena from practice to shooting around in the games.”
