Warriors reserve Corey Maggette has been the recipient of boos from the team's home fans at Oracle Arena as of late.
"It's not pleasant at all," Maggette said. "I remember the time when Al Harrington was here, and he was getting booed and he was asking to be traded. And I saw it when (Stephen Jackson) was here, and he was asking to be traded. And now, I'm getting booed for wanting to be part of this team through all this nonsense."
Maggette claims he's trying to become a stronger person through perceptions that he's selfish and injury-prone.
"That's why, man, you've got to have faith," Maggette said. "It's from my grandfather, Rev. Willie B. Dugan, and what has been instilled in me. It helps me through any situation. You can beat up on me. You can spit on me. I will keep getting up. You've got to get up. You've got to keep fighting."
