According to an ESPN NBA news report, Kyle Korver said: "He told me that he didn't think that Danny or anyone with the Hawks was racist. He said he was shocked when he heard what was said, but that sometimes things just slip out. It was pretty amazing, really. He just wants everything to move on. He wants to get back to basketball."
In related NBA news, Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh took his interview opportunity with CNN's HLN to promote his own "Mr. Nice Tie" collection, which consists of 5 ties and 5 bow ties, which is set for a Fall 2014 launch. On what inspired him to create the line, Bosh said: "When I was a kid I used to watch my father get ready in the mirror. He used to get dressed and the last thing he always did was tie his tie. I don't know if he saw me, but I'd constantly watch him get ready in the mirror. I remember being so proud the first time I learned how to tie that first tie knot by myself. That moment to me was priceless."
