"It was something like supposed to be funny or something but never offensive in any way... I'm sorry if anybody thought or took it the wrong way and thought that it was offensive."
Point guard, Jose Calderon said the team was responding to a request from the photographer,
"We felt it was something appropriate, and that it would be interpreted as an affectionate gesture... Without a doubt, some press didn't see it that way."
