I mean, no. Not like that. Yeah, not like that. All teams are dysfunctional. I just came from the Warriors. You know what I mean? When an owner, he'd be riding a bike when he hung over. You know what I mean? Everybody's got something. He was a hot mess. You know what I mean? But at the time, but not like this.

This was like, with the Warriors, like okay, that's the owner, you like him, you don't like him. It was a separation between what he does for the team versus what he do for himself. This situation was like, you cannot detach nobody from nothing. Everybody's a spy. Everybody's lying to move up or to save their face. And then Mike Dunleavy has all the power.

So he can literally say whatever the fuck you want to the owner or to anybody. Right. About anybody. And so like when you have leadership like that. It's a circus. I remember in training camp, I was like, man, this is fucked up. This is a circus. I ain't never seen no shit like this. I would say that every day in practice. I've never seen it.

I did not think that an NBA team could be ran like that. And you'd been some places at that point. You'd seen some. We had some bad years. I had just come off a bad year with Byron Scott where I got traded, and the Warriors was having a bad year, but it wasn't. Like, nothing was like this. This was like, man, Chris came in. We in practice. He grab a rope, lasso it around.

What I want them to do is pull the shit. Just all kind of people pulling each other's pants down, kicking water bottles over. It's like, man, this ain't no fun. This is a fucking circus show.

It was just every day it was dysfunctional. You don't know what the fuck you're doing when you go to work. 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 wanna do, how you wanna do it, but all they doin' is just tellin' you what to do, tellin' you, it's like Groundhog, tellin' 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 doin' all that he can, right, to solve a problem because the players keep getting hurt and they keep tellin' 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. You just wanted to go to work, soon as your shit was over, you didn't want to see nobody.

Imagine living as a basketball player and not wanting to deal with, it was literally like, yo, this is a job that I hate. And when you go to work, your other teammates and homies are like, damn, man, what's wrong with you? You all right? Like, you don't look good. And then you play in the game. They're like, yo, what the fuck? Like, what's wrong with you?
