They were supposed to take the train, but he made them wait an extra three hours so he could see his horses. In fact, I made fun of him and told him ‘you’re addicted, like Dennis Rodman’Tetrick told the New York Daily News.

“Another time he told me ‘my job is basketball, but my passion is horses. I’d trade jobs with you in a minute, but mine pays better’Tetrick added.
