"I'm not happy," Mayo said, "but at the same time, if this is what's best for the team, I'm all for it. If it betters our team situation, I've got to deal with it."
I haven't been this upset about the NBA, since I realized my favorite player Tracy McGrady would never return to his 25+ ppg self. For the first time in the 9 years I have been watching OJ Mayo showcase his ridiculous talent, this is the first time where I can honestly say I am disappointed in him.
He is not the next Kobe and that's hard for me to say because I was sure I found the next Kobe, someone going to be the Next Kobe, but I know for a fact it won't be OJ Mayo. Don't even see him getting on an all-star level even in prime doubt he would even be better than Eddie Jones.
To say, if this is what is best for the team then I got to deal with it, tells me all I need to know about a player and how good he will be I don't want to sound like Colin Cowherd, but it is true. I would expect something along the lines of give me the ball, and let me make a play if you want us to be better. That's show the killer mentality that every superstar in the making needs. Especially loosing your job to an inferior basketball talent in Xavier Henry who has proven nothing at the NBA level. Kobe would never stand for it, we all know Allen Iverson would never accept that. Both of them are true warriors mentally which is part of the reason they are so good and with comments like that I am ashamed of the title lilojmayo.
As of this of now I am no more an OJ Mayo fan. That's just weak.
