After Reggie Evans made some interesting remarks at yesterday's practice, calling out the Heat for winning during a lockout season and comparing LeBron James to Joe Johnson and Andray Blatche, today he seemed to be walking them back a little.
According to Mike Mazzeo of ESPN New York, Evans joined SiriusXM's "Off the Dribble" show this morning to walk back his statements, just a little bit.
"I just said they won a championship in a lockout season. That's what I said. So I never downplayed it or nothing, I just said they won a championship. That was really about it. I guess people just took it out of proportion."
Here is what Stefan Bondy, the only reporter who spoke with Evans, quoted him as saying...
His exact answer: "That don't prove nothing. That was a lockout season. That don't prove nothing."
Bondy also tweeted, "To be fair to Reggie, by the time ESPN and @MazzESPN was done re-writing and cherry-picking the interview five times, his words were twisted." Yeow!
