发帖数: 36 | 1 This has been by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life.
I understood cognitively that I was facing a crossroads in my evolution as
a player and as a man, and that it came with exceptionally difficult choices
. What I didn’t truly understand, however, was the range of emotions I
would feel during this process.
The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it
based on the potential for my growth as a player — as that has always
steered me in the right direction. But I am also at a point in my life where
it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my
evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and
community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and
personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join
the Golden State Warriors.
I’m from Washington, D.C. originally, but Oklahoma City truly raised me. It
taught me so much about family as well as what it means to be a man. There
are no words to express what the organization and the community mean to me,
and what they will represent in my life and in my heart forever. The
memories and friendships are something that go far beyond the game. Those
invaluable relationships are what made this deliberation so challenging.
It really pains me to know that I will disappoint so many people with this
choice, but I believe I am doing what I feel is the right thing at this
point in my life and my playing career.
I will miss Oklahoma City, and the role I have had in building this
remarkable team. I will forever cherish the relationships within the
organization — the friends and teammates that I went to war with on the
court for nine years, and all the fans and people of the community. They
have always had my back unconditionally, and I cannot be more grateful for
what they have meant to my family and to me. | t******0
