"Jerry last year told me that people who don?t love basketball don?t deserve to play. What kind of nonsense is that?"


In a spat more familiar from the playgrounds of kids than millionaires, the former Sheffield Shark claims that bullying was an ever-present menace.  


"From the very beginning it wasn?t as if I had a chance of playing this season. I came in at the beginning of the year and they were all talking about me. ?Different player, in great shape, new person?. They were saying all that stuff.  


"And Jerry came to be and told me he was having a hard time getting over an article in ESPN The Magazine in which I made absolutely zero quotes regarding him. But he was quoted several times talking about me and he came across as a bit of a jerk. It made him look bad."
