During the podcast, the 6’1 guard said the team’s issues were not related to basketball. He delved deeper into the aforementioned affair and added, “It wasn?t basketball…It was other s?t. But other s?t that you really can?t like pin or point out. You know, comes and goes. You know, a little bit here, a little bit there.”

The 34-year-old continued, “The vibes were sometimes on, sometimes off. Inconsistent vibes lead to inconsistent play.”
