Deni Avdija's on Tari Eason's 'zebra' comments: 'It made me laugh'

[ASFN Admin]

MrBuckBuck: Deni Avdija about the "Zebras" thing (that the refs helped him to get to the free throw line): "It made me laugh, for real. Honestly, let's address it. I drive the most in the league, I'm very physical, I don't shy away from contact. I'm going downhill. I don't care who's in front of me, I'm going straight through him. I don't play for those fouls, but I'm going to get fouled. It's a part of the game. I can't control it. I'm very aggressive. I initiate the contact, and that's my game. I'm just saying, if it's hard to stop, you've got to own it or do something else. But I'm very humble, I work hard and I make the right play every time. I wouldn't say it was an excuse, it was just ... [Eason] was emotional after the game, so I didn't take it like that. I've been emotional after losses, too, so I get it. But it's fun that we overcame it."
