“Well, winning is always good here so I’d say when we got out of the first round and took the Celtics to a seven-game series and they went up against the Heat, but the relationships, I think, outweigh all that actually. I still have relationships with all the guys. It’s probably my closest team that I’ve been with on a personal level.”
### Even closer than the Warriors?
“It sounds crazy because I’m here and we won a lot of championships. Obviously, I’m close with all the guys here, but Evan Turner is like my best friend. I still got a warm place in my heart for Lou Williams. I’m going on a golf trip next summer with Spencer Hawes. Jodie Meeks hits me up any time he’s on a golf course. He hits me up so we speak plenty. Who am I forgetting? Thaddeus Young has been in the league forever like me. So it’s always good to see him and connect with him and see his family. Elton Brand taught me a ton. So a lot of relationships and then I couldn’t have done it without the veterans I had. So I just saw Marc Jackson today. Big Marc, obviously and then Kevin Ollie and Aaron McKie. They really helped mold me to be the professional that I am today.”

My fav sixer growing up. Glad he still got connections with former teammates
I haven’t thought about Jodie Meeks in ages. I just looked him up and realized it’s kinda funny that I think of him as a Sixer even though he turned out to be a journeyman.

Wanted A.I. 2.0 to live up to the hype so bad.
Praying he joins our front office or coaching staff with Elton or something once he’s done
