Jeremy Sochan took his time to find the right words to post on social media following a heated altercation with Jarred Vanderbilt in the San Antonio Spurs' loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. Both players were ejected in the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 125-109 win against a Spurs team struggling without star players De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama.

Vanderbilt is primarily valued for his defensive prowess rather than his scoring ability. The Lakers utilize him as their defensive anchor, often assigning him to guard the opposing team's top player. His defensive pressure often prevents opponents from scoring, leading to frustrated opponents reacting similarly to Sochan.
