„Ovo nije prijatan momenat za mene. Osećam se posramljeno. Mogao sam da polomim i ruku da sam uputio udarac, mogao je to da bude kraj sezone za mene… Pogledajte snimak, nisam mu ništa rekao“, rekao je posle utakmice Rivers.
"This isn't a cool moment for me. I feel embarrassed... If I throw a punch and land it the wrong way, I could break my hand and be out for the season... Go watch that video. I've never said nothing to him."
