Before the forward suffered a season-ending injury, he gave a wide-ranging interview touching on Donovan Mitchell’s future, focus issues, his individual struggles, and his comfy footwear.
I don’t want that to be myfrom this season. So let’s go back to the prior stop on that road trip, to Memphis, Tenn., where “Jingles” spoke at shootaround at the FedEx Center in what would prove to be his final pre-injury interview.
It was quintessential Joe — sarcastic, funny, observant, thoughtful, irascible. Here are some of the wide-ranging topics we covered …Look, Sarah Todd of the D-News and I couldn’t help but notice that Joe had his sneakers off, and was walking around in socks and Crocs — you know, the lightweight, proprietary-resin footwear your mom loves to garden in. Joe’s were bright yellow and personalized with some stickers from his twins. Sarah tweaked Joe by asking if wearing Crocs was cool again.
“You’re probably asking the wrong guy to know if something’s cool or not,” he replied. “… Have you ever worn Crocs? Are they not comfy? I don’t know if they’re cool or not, but I like ’em. My kids made ’em for me.”Look, it was telling that, at Wednesday’s shootaround before the Nuggets game,Joe himself, though, insisted that while there are, the rumors of dissension were overblown.
“It’s more annoying than anything. I mean, I don’t think Donovan wants to leave. We see him every day and he loves where he’s at, he loves our team,” Joe said. “If they were in the locker room every day and were around us every day and heard him say he wants to leave, that’s something completely different. But they’re not around every day. So it’s annoying.
