How did Sullinger address the media? With a Steve Urkel "Did I do that?" t-shirt, of course.

Sullinger was also benched for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat after arriving late for the team's walkthrough. He missed the entire walkthrough on Wednesday, citing traffic from the New England Patriots' Super Bowl parade.
