Mayo Explains it All

O.J. Mayo explained his decision to leave for the NBA on Thursday's "PMS" (the Petros and Money Show) on KLAC-AM (570). The "P," of course, is Petros Papadakis -- a former Trojans tailback who was the PA announcer for Mayo's lone season in the Galen Center. The first question was whether his decision was a no-brainer ...

I really did think about it. Obviously as a ballplayer, I'm a competitor. I'm really not happy with how the year ended this year with our team. I felt like we could have done a lot better. But at the same time I've got a family. I've got four brothers and three sisters! I just felt like it was the best decision for my family first and me second.

Can't argue with that. Asked about the highlights of living in L.A. the last year, he said this city is unbeatable when it comes to the weather and the women. Can't argue with that, either.
