However, the moment Kobe Bryant's shocking interview aired, it instantly caused an uproar throughout the sports world.
Media reporters from every outlet swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, eager to find Goodwin and conduct an in-depth interview with him.
At that moment, Goodwin and his teammates were in the locker room, fully focused on the upcoming season opener between the Orlando Magic and the Indiana Pacers at Amway Arena in Orlando!
With Dwight Howard gone, the encouraging thing was that the Orlando Magic were now brimming with talent, with many highly promising young players beginning to emerge.
Take Tobias Harris, for example. Last season, he averaged 17.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.4 blocks with his outstanding performances.
Then there was Arron Afflalo, who had put up solid numbers as well, averaging 16.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 0.6 steals.
In addition, Nikola Vucevic had also displayed formidable ability, averaging 13.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 0.8 steals.
Even more eye-catching was the fact that Victor Oladipo, the second overall pick in this year's draft, had also joined the team.
With such a stacked and energetic roster, fans could not help but eagerly wonder: Could the Orlando Magic regroup and return to the fiercely contested playoff stage?
Looking at the Indiana Pacers, their lineup had not changed at all from before, and they still retained their unshakable starting five.
Among them, Paul George and Roy Hibbert had clearly put in some work during the offseason; it was obvious just from their physiques.
What sort of changes would such a stable lineup bring to the game? Everything remained unknown, and the answer could only be revealed once the game officially began.
"Beep, beep." As the whistle sounded, the NBA's 2013–2014 season opener officially began.
