Dave McMenamin provided the context but, knowing what we do about Cavaliers big man Timofey Mozgov and Russia, we could read a Mozgov quote like "In Russia we ride bears," ruminate on it for a hard second, and accept it as a true and accurate statement regardless of how it came up in conversation.Like, this guy has definitely ridden a bear. At the very least he knows two to three people who have ridden bears. I suppose it helps to know why Mozgov was talking about riding bears, but not really. James Jones can't ride horses because of his contract. Fine, whatever. But I would just as easily believe Mozgov gave this information totally unprompted, and it just so happened to coincide with an interview with James Jones about the anti-equine language in his contract. I may even believe that scenario more, in fact.Good for him not caving during his own contract negotiations, too.In the locker room James Jones was talking about how his contract doesn't let him ride horses.
