No a class act would know that once a guy goes down that road he has fd himself with people of honor. That includes a lot of his peers.

Maybe we’re built different. It’s probably my background in teaching and coaching. I love it when great talent figures it out and takes his game to a different level. Must be nice being perfect. Meanwhile, I respect a guy who puts the work in (career 36% from 3 shooting 40%) and humbled himself knowing he’s not the number one on his team anymore.

I have never questioned Hardens talent, just his horrible character. FYI, one is much more important than the other and it’s not the one you think. You would agree on most players, just your team getting in the way on this one.

Be impressed all you want, he revealed what he is capable of. Ignore it if you want.

Then when we’re talking about the basketball player with all due respect…shut the fuck up. Character has fuck all to do with anything. Michael Jordan had a gambling addiction that got his father killed. Wilt Chamberlain claims he had over 1,000 one night stands. We’re talking ball. I’m not God. It’s not my place to judge these people.

F your due respect, as always climb down off your high horse. I’ll say what I want, when I want, and you won’t do f all about it. Purposely throwing games, yeah go ahead and compare the goat and Chamberlain on that one.

Weren’t you the guy who was just on your $3 podium talking about “there’s one thing that matters and it’s not what you think derp derp derp”. And now being a sloth and forcing your way out is worse than getting your father killed or using thousands of women. Got it.

It’s funny to me the high character guy is an OU fan. One of the dirtiest programs in the history of college football.

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW

On the afternoonof Feb. 10, Oklahoma quarterback Charles Thompson hobbled out of the Sooners'football office and headed toward his car, which was

I’m really glad Harden decided not to waste his talent for a little while, go to battle with that guy. Sorry but I find it hilarious when people act like it’s a big deal that he decides to try again when that is what he should have been doing all along.

Coach Ham not happy right now...

On the Minny game...

"Too many times I felt like our energy was off, our effort was off in certain plays. We didn't seem to have any urgency. They're fighting for their playoff lives as well, trying to get into the post season. And they had that urgency. We didn't."

He wasn't done there...

"We can't be locked in for 2 1/2, 3 hours of a 24 hour day? We do basketball for a living. Someone shouldn't have to tell you to be locked in. We do basketball. We get paid millions of dollars to do basketball for a living which only takes, whether it's a practice, a shootaround, a game anywhere from an hour, sometimes 45 minutes, to 2 1/2, 3 hours. A sport. We're not digging ditches all day. We're not not building homes. We're not risking our lives. We're doing basketball for a living. And we're playing for one of the most recognizable, historic franchises on the face of the earth, the most. If that doesn't motivate you to go out and try to be the best version of yourself, I don't know what will."

Easily the most critical of the team that he's been all year.

Hope they listened.

Nope. Dropped in the perfect spot. You accused me of looking past character shit because Harden is a Sixer. You’ve been doing that shit for 4 decades being an OU fan.

As always you lose context, funny from a “teacher” Have fun with it though. And my position on OU is right there for anyone to see. It’s not what you think.

Context is identical. You root for steroid abusers and gang rapers. We can do Joe Mixon next.

Oh please go look at what I had to say about Mixon. Sorry I’m not a hypocrite.

You’re still repping the program. If you’re the man you say you are you would have quit on them decades ago. You absolutely are that hypocrite. You talk the talk but you don’t walk the walk.

Lmao, I’m an alum twice over. Been a long long time since we had any trouble. Joe C the best athletic director in the country. The Mixon stuff was bad, I spoke out against it. Same exact thing would have happened pretty much everywhere. In todays climate it obviously would have gone down much different.

Jeffrey Dahmer hasn’t killed anyone in awhile either.

Back to basketball, Utah in the OKC tonight. Mark out, Shai back.

Yes and no.

I don't think that anyone, even funbags, is looking to defend his behavior in forcing his way out of Houston and Brooklyn. But he hasn't done that stuff in Philly yet.

Now, to be fair, as yet, Philly hasn't given him a reason to want out. So, we don't know for certain whether he has changed his ways or not. That will be determined if/when he decides he's no longer happy in Philly.

Yeah I get it. I just don’t like the “yeah but look now now assholes” attitude when his only issue was effort.
