This is the part we gotta remember man. Not being able to see your house again is crazy. Kind of a sad story. Yes they are getting paid millions, yes it’s apart of the biz. all of that is true. But athletes are still humans man.
Jared McCain reveals that he cried when he was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers 🥲
“I was on the bus with the Sixers and we were heading to the airport in San Francisco. We just played Golden State
I texted my agent for a gym in L.A. and he called me, and I think he’s calling me about the gym. He is like, ‘They’re about to trade you.’
About five minutes later, Daryl Morey called me and told me I was traded… it was pretty wild, and I started crying right then.
Those are my brothers and still are my brothers to this day. It was definitely tough. They thought I was joking when I told them, and then I started crying. Then they were like, ‘Oh, this is serious.’ Then we got off the bus and they all came up to me and I still went on the plane with them to L.A.
I still miss Philly to this day. I never was able to see my house again because we were on the road. It’s little things like that. I miss my routine, but I’m definitely blessed to be here.”
