Andray Blatche: 'Wizards never support me'

Blatche on his reputation as a knucklehead: "That's my other point. For them to say, 'He's a bad teammate. He's a cancer in the locker room.' All that was a bunch of lies. That's what really made me mad. When they said all those rumors and put them in the media, that's what angered me. Who else would say that? None of my teammates would say that. [The media] can ask every last one of my teammates here, and I guarantee you what they say is completely different than what everyone else says." 

Blatche on the Wizards: "I can't remember not once anybody say, 'Give him a break. Let's try to pick him up. Or anything.' They were like, when things weren't starting well, they used me as an excuse." 

Blatche on being out of shape: "I'm not necessarily blaming them for all my injuries. I could have done a lot more workouts, a lot more stuff in the pool to take off my legs. I could have done that. I learned a lot of stuff about pool workouts this summer." Blatche on what the Wizards could have done: "There were certain situations with the fans and media that the team didn't help me out with ... They could have explained exactly what was going on. They could have had my back. It could have been anything ... That's not what you do with your family, or the brotherhood."
