## Transcript

Now having been sort of embroiled in this situation, I mean in what way is your life changed because of this? My life was changed a lot because, is this like gonna [ UNKNOWN ] sometime [ UNKNOWN ] some of your record, you Google my name, this gonna pop up And that hurt. Yeah, I might hear something from the NBA about this or you were saying this or this. I'm not saying anything bad. But everything's not being controlled so my thing with this is, we had a meeting. I feel like I was pulled out of the meeting like I was pulled out of the garden. I guess as far as the garden in terms of how you're feeling, I mean you just said you felt like you were pulled out of that meeting like you were pulled out of the garden.

Is there a resolution that can be met? No some things can't be solved. [ MUSIC ]
