Sharing his opinion on the player’s statements, he said, I’m glad you think McCants was tearing my a** up because emotional people I think logic just goes out the window when their emotions involved and it’s their feelings right.” He added, “I should have known this was gonna be some bulls**t cause in reality… if he has Kobe over Michael then yeah this was a pointless argument.”
