Sports Illustrated writer Ben Golliver did the seemingly impossible and found O.J. Mayo for an interview, which was featured in an article that SI published on Sunday. In that piece, the former Milwaukee Bucks guard had a lot of very interesting things to say.
Mayo came off as contrite, acknowledging his mistakes and not seeking anybody to blame for them aside from himself. He essentially apologized to the Bucks, saying he was “sub-par” despite the $8 million he made annually in Milwaukee.
Wrapped around that statement is the really interesting part: Uncle Juice is more than receptive to a potential return to the Milwaukee Bucks next year, when he’s (hopefully) reinstated from his NBA ban due to a violation of the banned substances policy.
