Deron Williams is finally opening up about his time spent with the Brooklyn Nets, and he seems to be ecstatic about being out of the city, and the Nets organization.
Williams — now a member of his hometown Dallas Mavericks — says he enjoys the games again, and spoke to Yahoo Sports about “escaping” Brooklyn.
“It took a lot out of me, man, those three years. Some of the hardest in my life,” Williams told Yahoo Sports of his time in Brooklyn. “Made me question if I even wanted to play basketball when I was done with that contract.”
Williams was quick to admit that “some people just aren’t built” for big city New York.
“It’s cool. There’s a lot of people, I guess, who aren’t built for New York,” Williams told Yahoo. “New York is not for everybody.”
After agreeing to a buyout this summer, Williams is averaging 15 points, 5 assist and 3 rebounds per game.
