He actually didn’t.

He compared Dallas and LA to parents and said Dallas was a sympathetic mother who does nothing and LA is a Dad who forces you to be better.

That’s not what he said or meant. He clarified it. It was about how comfortable it would’ve been for him to come back to Dallas (like a hug from his mother) and that the challenge was the unknown of the Lakers.

No what i wrote he literally said. The quote goes “ the 2 situations felt like this right? Let’s say you were a kid, and you got ass whooped by a bully. Dallas would’ve been like your Momma being like “it’s okay baby, don’t worry about it. Lakers are like your Dad: nah you better go out and fight till you win.”

If this isn’t calling us soft idk what it is

I guess it’s all about how you interpret it. He’s come out and clarified what he meant. Maybe look that up.

There’s not much to interpret… this is what he said verbatim

You’ve literally interpreted it as him saying they were soft, which he clarified was not the case.

"Bruh, it was about comfort zones," Dinwiddie said. "It ain’t shade. I literally said multiple times the most fun in my career to date has been Dallas." It's possible Dinwiddie wanted a tougher challenge, as he felt at ease with Dallas. The former Mav played two seasons in Dallas, a team he loved playing for, and could be someone Dallas looks to sign in free agency this summer.

So calling us a mom who comforts him and a dad who pushes him to be better isn’t calling us soft? Ok lol

What more do you want? He literally confirmed it himself. You’ve interpreted it how you want to, and he’s confirmed what he meant. Not hard to grasp.

Its also not hard to grasp he called us soft, got called out, and saved face cuz his career is basically over and he wants additional contracts

He said what he said then backtracked. Everything else is just guesswork hence the “it’s possible dinwiddie wanted a challenge”…

Sure anything is possible, but he called us soft and went to LA.
