I really don\u2019t. It doesn\u2019t affect me at all. What I care about is basketball. I want to be good at what I do. And there\u2019s some things that I have to do, which I will do on the basketball court. But until today, my guy (Bucks director of content) Nick (Monroe, who was standing nearby), has been with me for 13 years, and it\u2019s been great. Tomorrow, when I wake up, it may not be great.

I fell out of love.\u2018 Until today, me and (Bucks general manager) Jon (Horst) have a good relationship.
