"It's time I took my game to the next level," Tarantino said as his dog and a pile of dirty socks looked on during an afternoon press conference in his apartment's living room. "I think I have proved myself over the past thirty two years and I just think it's time for new challenges in my life."
Tarantino spent the past week debating whether he should stay or go, talking with family, friends and himself about the NBA. It wasn't until Saturday morning, that Tarantino made his final decision.
"This is not an opportunity I plan on taking lightly, it has always been a dream of mine to play in the NBA”.
