There are some who are questioning his ability to play, but I get that that was not the issue.
As far as I know, no one who has ever played with him, currently or in the past, has ever called his leadership or whether he is a good teammate into question. The comments in response to those types of questions are always positive. I also get that his current teammates are likely not going to throw him under the bus, but his former teammates who have nothing to lose by being truthful, have also spoken very highly of him.
