Jordan Clarkson: 'This is that time and that moment where I've impacted the game' Just like when both Bryant and James won five NBA titles, Clarkson’s main source of motivation points toward collecting championship hardware. Unlike when Bryant and James both won Finals and regular-season MVP awards, Clarkson’s other source of motivation points toward becoming the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year. “If we’re winning games and we’re doing that, I’ll be rewarded for that,” Clarkson told USA TODAY Sports. “I feel like this is that time and that moment where I’ve impacted the game.” 3 hours ago – via Mark Medina @ USA Today Sports Awards, Top Rumors Top Rumors, Awards, Jordan Clarkson, Utah Jazz
“If the Sixth Man of the Year award comes and I don’t get it, I don’t need the validation because my teammates, coaching staff and a lot of my peers gave me that,” Clarkson said. “They’re telling me, ‘I respect what you do’ and all of that. So, I know that goes a long way as well. But it’s definitely something I want to get accomplished one of these years. Hopefully it’s this year.” 3 hours ago – via Mark Medina @ USA Today Sports Awards, Top Rumors Top Rumors, Awards, Jordan Clarkson, Utah Jazz
So after a regular-season loss in Portland, Bryant chewed out his younger teammates over their attitude, work habits and decision making. “I remember him just really getting upset,” Clarkson said. “You’ve seen him come out of his skin and grill us a little bit. But from that point on, I felt all of us had a different look at everything with what we wanted to do. That’s probably, in terms of development, a little wake-up call.” 3 hours ago – via Mark Medina @ USA Today Sports Uncategorized Jordan Clarkson, Kobe Bryant, Utah Jazz
Aaron Gordon on being traded: 'I didn’t know if everybody was pushing in the same direction' “It was difficult, yes, because I would have loved to have stayed with a healthy Markelle (Fultz), and a healthy Jonathan Isaac and a newly blossoming Mo Bamba and a healthy Cole Anthony, but I felt like there was just something telling me I needed to shake things up. It kind of felt like I had one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake out in Orlando. “I was giving it my all, you know? I was giving it my all, and it was difficult, man. I didn’t know if everybody was pushing in the same direction.” 3 hours ago – via Sam Amick @ The Athletic Trade, Top Rumors Top Rumors, Trade, Aaron Gordon, Cole Anthony, Jonathan Isaac, Markelle Fultz, Mo Bamba, Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic
Organizationally, I asked? “Yeah, organizationally, in terms of the plan,” Gordon continued. “I think (Magic front office executives) John Hammond, Jeff Weltman, those guys are amazing people — amazing people, and very talented managers as well. But I feel like they got kind of cast into the revolving door out there as well in Orlando. So many coaches — five coaches in seven years (Jacque Vaughn, James Borrego, Scott Skiles, Frank Vogel and Steve Clifford). And it was kind of a different organization after the passing of Mr. (Rich) DeVos (in September 2018) as well. It was just a lot. A lot of uncertainty, an insecure kind of feeling. But I have no doubt in my mind that John and Jeff are going to get that organization back to where it needs to be. 3 hours ago – via Sam Amick @ The Athletic James Borrego, Jeff Weltman, John Hammond, Scott Skiles, Steve Clifford, Trade, Uncategorized James Borrego, Jeff Weltman, John Hammond, Scott Skiles, Steve Clifford, Trade, Aaron Gordon, Jacque Vaughn, Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic
