Matt Caputo/SLAM Online talked to Rashad McCants about season, his career, his tattoos and his relationship Khloe Kardashian.


SLAM: Can you compare Wittman and McHale as coaches a little bit?

RM: It’s hard to say because Coach McHale just got here. I was with Coach Wittman for like almost two years and, when I was playing well, Coach was pretty consistent with me, he knew what I could do. He wasn’t afraid to put me in situations where I could succeed. Earlier on this year, he kind of lost that confidence in me or he didn’t want to put me in those positions. Coach McHale is going with who he thinks can produce and we’ve won five in a row. I haven’t really played in five games in a row, but as long as we’re winning, that’s the only thing I care about…

 

SLAM: Some people in the media say you’ve taken a step back this year, but to give you a chance to answer that, where do you feel you are as far as improving on your game goes?

RM: I can honestly say to the questions and allegations of me “stepping back” that, I don’t really think I’ve been given a fair enough chance to play in this league during the four years that I’ve been here. I think that, Wittman gave me a chance to prove that I can play and be a consistent player as a starter, reserve or what have you. In those situations, I think I proved that I can play and always have been able to play.
