Some amazing Kobe Bryant items are looking for a new owner -- including a Draft Day ticket and gol… (2024)

“It’s like, they don’t look at us as humans sometimes. So when you get a chance to let a person know how you feel real quick, then they’ll backtrack. See, we’re animals, we’re circus acts, we’re entertainers to them instead of real people. Durant said the female fan did indeed backtrack and “try to play it cool.” Durant said her friend explained that she was going through “a lot.” Durant believed the fan thought he’d keep running onto the court. “I get it,” Durant said. “I know the people want to pet the animals in the zoo, get close to the animals in the zoo, but once they get close, they realize you’re real human beings, too. So you should treat us like that. I could’ve had them kicked out. Nah, don’t put that on me. They just called me a b—-. They didn’t harm me. They didn’t try to harm me, physically. Let them stay and give them something to think going forward.”

Bobby Manning: Tatum: “You want to continue to average more (points) every year … you know you can do that … it took some time (to learn) … that’s not necessarily what this team needs on a nightly basis.” “I’ve done everything but win a championship … (we’re) doing what it takes.”

Jared Weiss: Jayson Tatum on the debate surrounding his MVP candidacy vs. the likes of Jokic & SGA: “There’s been a lot of talk about that the last couple days and those guys are putting up ridiculous numbers every game and doing a lot for their teams. I have no problem with those guys being the leaders of the race. I’m not saying I needed to be first. I just had a problem with some people on TV saying the reason I won’t win this year is because of something that happened two years ago. That was my only disconnect, because there’s a lot of talented guys in this league right now that’s doing a lot of great things.”
