Baron Davis

You don't know if you got anything.

How do you go to the gym and not play basketball?

We wouldn't scrimmage.

We would just talk, went through plays.

It became who the fuck wants to be here?

Now you talking about stress?

PTSD, imagine can't do what you want to do, how you want to do it.

All they're doing is just telling you what to do.

It's like Groundhog.

Telling you what to do.

And I felt sorry for the people like, you know, you think like Jason Powell, he's still there, the head trainer.

Like, this dude is brilliant.

This dude is doing all that he can, right, to solve a problem because the players keep getting hurt and they keep telling him no.

Right, and so I'm watching.

None of the competent people have power to do anything.

Crazy.

Undermined.

Crazy, and so now you gotta be, everybody gotta be a little sneaky to get some shit done to benefit the players, you know what I mean?

Or the players have to go and come back, which you don't care, you gotta come back to the gym to get extra shots, because you realize, man, I ain't got no shots in practice in three weeks.

And so the environment that was created made you not want to be in the gym.
