You know they’d love to have you back. You guys felt that tonight. What was that like?

It felt great. I told my wife earlier in the day, I was taking a shower, I shed a few tears. Of happiness. Like I was always saying, it’ ain’t even about the money. It’s just about the love for the game. I always told myself I wanted to play 15 or 16 years, and I just want to try to get back. I know the big thing is getting in shape, because the game’s changing. You got a few teams that still play traditionally, but a lot of teams now is more up-and-down, fast-paced. If I could just get on a team and be that leader and help out if I can, I’m with it on any kind of level. So I’m just waiting.

What do you miss the most about it?

You miss the camaraderie with your teammates, the competitiveness. I think that’s mainly it right there.

Obviously the whole thing that happened here Saturday, we wanted to get your thoughts on that. I have to ask about the cupcakes. Being the guy who originated the term, what were your thoughts as you watched that Saturday night?

Man, it was crazy. It was different. But at the end of the day, it’s part of it. This was KD’s first time coming back after he made his decision, so you knew it was gonna happen. I ain’t know it was gonna be to that extreme, but, like they say, it’s a thin line between love and hate. So at the end of the day, he made his decision and he knew what was gonna happen when he came back, but he’s all right with it. It happens, and I think he was just ready to get it over with.

Were you surprised he went to Golden State? A lot of people around here were surprised not necessarily that he left, but that he went there of all places.

I was. I was surprised. I thought maybe if he would have left, I thought he probably would have ended up back in D.C. or maybe even with the Spurs. That move, it surprised me just like it surprised everybody else. But like Kevin said – when I talked to him, he said he made a decision that made him happy. Obviously the Golden State Warriors must have made him feel wanted, like they wanted him. They must have done a hell of a job recruiting him and he just made a decision for himself. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he be back here in the near future.
