    It's because he literally would have become a cop if he didnt make it in the NBA lmao.

    If you already knew this and this was a joke that went over my head, I'm sorry lol.

    Really liked his grit and dog mentality. Liked that he was physical and would take charges. I couldn’t live with the wild shots.

    but Garrison was all heart and I really appreciate the energy he brought to our team.

    He was JJ Reddick before JJ Reddick. Ahead of his time for sure

    Really wish we were able to replace him with a superior white boy in Luke Kennard but I'm just glad he's gone

    Mathews game is not pretty, but his attitude and heart were both A+. He didn't take sh_t from anyone and was always trying to ignite the team by drawing a charge or hitting a gnarly looking 3. Good luck Garry, thanks for bringing us a couple of OKC 2nds in the coming years.

    He gave his best every night. It's hard to get mad at him even I wish his shots are more consistent.

    There was a time where booby called him one of the two star guards we have on the team. him and kpj.

    Aside from a few hot shooting game here or there and the occasional offensive foul charge, he wasn't that great for our rebuilding team. Hopefully he finds a team cause he can provide points if given the opportunity

    He's shooting 43% from 3. His time in Houston was the worst shooting of his career.
