“Apparently Izzy had no idea what I was doing there that day and understandably didn't like it that Axl had fired Chris Webber without consulting, or even informing, him.
Eventually, a while later after we'd become good friends, I asked Izzy about it. Izzy always maintained an aura of cool; he was never ruffled, he never let thar guard down. But when I asked him about this, he leveled a deathly serious gaze at me, so I had no doubt that he was sincere.
"It's pretty fucking simple," he said. "I just don't like being dictated to under any circumstances."
In any case, he split. I'd been dragged into the middle of that situation, entirely clueless to it. After Izzy left, there was a short, awkward moment. and then we just started playing again.”
