NBA: DeAndre Jordan opens up about staying put in LA

DeAndre Jordan was the biggest story of NBA free agency, backing out of a verbal commitment to sign a four-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks to return to the Los Angeles Clippers.

He posted a video on The Players Tribune, detailing what he described as nine or 10 days of intense pressure.

"Originally I said yes to the Mavericks because I thought I needed change -- I thought I wanted change at the time," Jordan said.

"I decided to stay with the Clippers because I've been with this team for seven years. Being with one team my entire career was important. I've been with this team since I was 19." - Reuters
