DeAndre Jordan on Atkinson’s departure from Nets: “Whatever the reports are, are bullshit”
Jordan said he was “shocked” when he heard the news and that he thought Atkinson “did a great job with us.”
DeAndre Jordan denied reports about Kenny Atkinson’s firing in Brooklyn linked to the high-profile players signed last summer as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.
Per ESPN, “Yeah, I’m close to Kyrie, but Wilson [Chandler] is a new player, Garrett Temple’s a new player,” Jordan said Sunday. “We’re all new players, so if you’re going to say new players, put it on all eight of the new players.
“I think whatever you’re saying, and whatever the reports are, are bulls–”
Jordan said he was “shocked” when he heard the news and that he thought Atkinson “did a great job with us.”
“The guys who had been here love him, so I’m sure it’s tough for them. At the end of the day, this is a business, coaches get fired, players get cut, get traded, whatever it is,” Jordan said.
