弗萊：“我們難道不說一下，我為什么覺得他會這么做嗎？我沒問過他。我覺得他這么做是因為斯蒂芬-A-史密斯討厭Pat McAfee。所以詹姆斯就是在惡心他。”
杰弗森：“無論他選擇何處發聲，都是為那個平臺擴大影響力的機會，這是公認的。以我們對他的了解，他的每個舉動都經過深思熟慮。所以他把這個看得比其他任何事都重要，我們了解他。”
“只要有人開始對他指手畫腳，告訴他該做什么、應該怎么做，他都會反其道而行之。無論你是愛他還是恨他，支持他還是反對他——人們無權替他做決定，畢竟所謂‘正確選擇’因人而異。他有想要傳遞的信息...如果他選擇在某個特定平臺上傳遞特定信息，哪怕是出于小心眼，這也高于一切。這種較勁高于一切。這是運動員們應該尊重的一點。”
附英文原文：
Richard Jefferson: "Anywhere he goes would have been an opportunity to elevate that platform. That's agreed. We know it... He was most likely calculated in what he was doing. So he put that over anything else. We know him."
"The minute people start telling him what they expect him to do and what he should do, he gonna do the opposite. Love him, hate him, support him, or don't support him - whatever your opinions of him are, people don't get to choose what he should do because it was XYZ."
"He had a message he wanted to send... If he was choosing to send a certain message on a certain platform and to be petty, that supercedes everything else. The beef supercedes everything else. That's something that athletes should respect. "
