I'm hoping he felt really hollow holding that MVP trophy while Durant was holding his FINALS MVP trophy or that he got his wild ass solo act out of his system last Season and will do what it takes to win.

If not, this will be a spectacular shit show that could have all 3 fleeing at Seasons end.

It is up to Russ.

If he wants to be the primary scorer, I think they will struggle.

The I have always thought Russ should play is to continue to attack relentlessly in the open court. In half court offense though, he needs to be more of a facilitator. He has always tried to do too much there.

That's why I always laughed at the Trump's a racist theme and Hillary's a saint. Trump probably is one of the biggest douche bags you'll ever come across. But Hillary just makes me feel uncomfortable, and that's saying something.

Yeah, they are booth scumbags.

People just went with who was the least scummiest based on their race, age, agenda or socio-economic status.

There is no proof or no quote.

But, you are holding up MJ and Kobe as examples of why not to rest.

One had a career altering injury at 35 that may or may not have been a result of overworking himself, and the other retired twice by 36.

Just saying.

May or may not have been the result of overworking himself? The doctor who performed the surgery said that how much he played had nothing to do with the injury.

MJ retired once to play a different sport. Some say because of gambling debts, some say to fulfill a childhood dream he and his father shared. No one has said it was to rest.

So basically, your own speculation, one that a doctor disputes and the other with nothing to back it up, is the support for your point.

C'mon man, just admit it. There's no reason for these guys to get any more rest than they already do.

Wow...solid point, grudgingly agree.

Racist, Rapist, Ped0phile are tough accusations to overcome.

Ps. ......as to what society has become...

You are what you eat.

This is why I didn't vote for either of them. It was like trying to decide what kind of bread I want my shit sandwich on.

The biggest issue I have with all of this is the way folks started melting down and demanding impeachment, etc. before Trump even took the oath of office.

Whatever happened to...your side loses, you congratulate the winner and then go back to the drawing board to figure out what you did wrong so you can do better next time? As well as waiting until the winner has actually been in office for awhile before complaining and calling for his head?

I already said I was speculating. What is your point?

We don't know how Jordan would have felt at age 36 with more rest. The fact that he returned years later leads me to believe he was tired. There is no proof on either side.

Doesn't matter though.

You never answered my question on rest. You just keep repeating That it is the players fault over and over.

If your boss told you it was in the company's best interest for you to take a few extra paid vacation days now in order to keep you fresh for the end of the year where your performance was more valuable to the company, would you fight them?

You and I both know you wouldn't. It is foolish to ridicule players for resting. It is in the best interest of the team and the player. Fans get screwed, sure, but you are calling these players pussies when I am 100% sure that you and everyone else here would make the exact same move if in their shoes.

If I were a professional basketball player, yes I would.

The players already got plenty of rest. You act like screwing over the fans is no big deal. The fans are the reason these guys get to do what they do and make what they make. Guys like MJ and Kobe understood that.

Yes, these players are pussies and no, I wouldn't make the exact dame move. I would be more like Kobe and MJ.

Cmon man.

You are saying you would put fans ahead of your teammates and the rest of your organization? I seriously doubt that. If you were anything less than a star, you would get yourself blackballed with that insubordinate attitude.
