As you’ll recall, during an interview with TMZ, the Memphis Grizzlies player said that the pair’s friendship had blossomed into a ‘crush’ stage.

Fast forward to the present day and Matt didn’t back down from his comments about Rihanna when discussing the situation with The Jim Rome Show. He stated:
