Malone's response shocked everyone again.
"Even if it's LeBron, it would be the same."
"I'll shut up, then," Hansen replied simply.
Malone's enthusiasm had passed, and he no longer felt like yelling at Conningham.
The game continued.
"Thank you." Before going on the court, Conningham pulled Hansen aside to thank him.
"Should I make up for the thanks I owe you now?"
The two men looked at each other and then both started laughing.
Sometimes, the relationships between men are just that simple.
In the end, the Cavaliers still lost to the Grizzlies, missing out on the next round of games.
Hansen also ended his journey in the Summer League.
