And I love Steph. I love hooping with Steph, and I really thought about going back to the Warriors. But it was a certain part of me that just didn’t like that this last little phase of my career was gonna be—where I was gonna play was gonna be—that these owners was just gonna work behind my back to make that decision for me. I didn’t like that part of it. And I felt like I worked my way up in this league and put a lot of sweat equity into my name and my game, or the respect or the brand that I’ve created. So you doing business behind my back, backdoor s— like that—It just didn’t sit right with me. So I just wanted to wash my hands of both of those teams, the Warriors and the Suns. Because I didn’t like how they did business.
