Compared to the hollow compliments of the past, Randolph's words this time were more sincere because they came from the heart.
Three years ago, Randolph was still entangled in the who-is-the-boss dispute with Hansen. But now, he was willing to be Hansen's second-in-command.
Just like he said, he admired Hansen not only for his performance on the court but also for his spirit.
Such a player, he respected wholeheartedly.
"I am very glad to be in a team with six All-Stars," Randolph's words were deep, and when it came to Hansen, the atmosphere became lively.
When a reporter was puzzled about where the Grizzlies got six All-Stars, Randolph quoted a classic phrase from LeBron's fans, which brought a burst of laughter.
"Will you continue to defend Curry like this in the next game? I mean, that could significantly diminish your stats," the next question came from an ESPN reporter.
