Tyson Chandler had good years in Dallas prior to his move to New York. And now that he’s back in Big D. He now realises that the New York Knicks didn’t treat him properly. And he’s done with Phil Jackson and the Knicks as he says to ESPN Dallas, bordering a verbal battering.
“I did nothing but try to help the culture there the three years I was there,” Chandler said Friday. “You can say I didn’t live up to whatever or you didn’t like the way I played or anything. But to ever question who I am and the type of leader I am in the locker room, I don’t even know where that came from.
“I honestly don’t know where that came from. I don’t know if Phil put that out there or who put that out there, but to me, that was the ultimate shock. And you don’t have to say that to get rid of me or to trade me. The trade is over.
“So to judge my character and what I’ve done, you can go look at all my teammates and ask all of my teammates in the past, and the coaches I’ve played for, and I’ve never been a problem and never had a problem. So that was a shock to me that I didn’t appreciate.“
The Knicks have some cojones to judge his character. Tyson Chandler lays it all on the court every game. We all see that. There aren’t many players these days that do that. I’m surprised they traded him to be honest. I consider him still good considering his age.
Simply put. It’s New York’s loss.
