Gary Payton: And then I feel for Nico, man. Nico was my rep at Nike—that’s like a little brother to me. He always looked up to me like that. So I feel for him because of what he took, you know what I’m saying? People don’t understand—he’s the President and General Manager. He can’t make those calls on his own. An owner has to make that call. He can’t just say, “I’ll make the call.” Because he was going to get fired. So all you fans out there blaming him like that— Get up out of here with that. It wasn’t his call to make that decision. He made a decision based on what he was told to do—what was supposed to be done—and that’s what they did.
