"All that really means is just that we're in a crazy world. It's a cold world, people do anything -- rob, steal, kill. A lot of times you just think about it and look around at what's going on, and turn on the news, and me personally, I pay attention to that type of stuff. That's all that really is," he explained of his Twitter location.
"I'm happy to be here, the opportunity. I'm with a great team, a phenomenal coach. I'm excited. Hopefully I have a long career here."
Spikes was asked about using social media like Twitter to interact with fans.
"I think the Twitter is kind of fun for the outside world to just kind of see how we are," said Spikes, who often follows up his tweets with the hashtag #Powwwwwww. "I just kind of say what's on my mind. Some stuff, you can't really look all into it. I know people get mad at me when I put Lakers stuff up, but I've been a Lakers fan for years, so it's no disrespect. I know the fans here are pretty tough, but I kind of like it, and they get a kick out of it, too. So it's cool. ... I like to play around. I have a decent sense of humor, and stuff like that. That's why I say, don't read too much into it."
