shared <\/a>that he had the same experience, one that he said led him to a wild realization.<\/p>\n\u201cI remember one time my coach said he viewed me as \u2018Richard Jefferson\u2019 and that was the first time I truly understood Latrell [Sprewell],\u201d Turner wrote in a post on X on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Turner was referencing the infamous incident in which former Golden State star Latrell Sprewell choked then-Warriors head coach P.J. Carlesimo in 1997.<\/p>\n
For what it\u2019s worth, the former Ohio State Buckeyes star clarified that he didn\u2019t mean to disrespect Jefferson.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d trade the career I had for Richard Jefferson so it ain\u2019t no shade. I just thought I was Kobe,\u201d added Turner, who played for five teams during his playing career in the NBA.<\/p>\n
Turner never turned into someone remotely close to what Kobe Bryant was in the NBA, but at least he didn\u2019t pull a Sprewell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The drama involving forward Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors has yet to fully end.\u00a0 In the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3786],"tags":[7,15188,479,164,4025,4024,867,6,255],"class_list":{"0":"post-599188","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golden-state-warriors","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-evan-turner","10":"tag-golden-state","11":"tag-golden-state-warriors","12":"tag-goldenstate","13":"tag-goldenstatewarriors","14":"tag-jonathan-kuminga","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-warriors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116058654480397985","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=599188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=599188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=599188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=599188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
