Nothing wrong with it I guess.

But opinions can absolutely be wrong.

And when people post shitty opinions, they pretty much disqualify their own voice in the eyes of knowledgeable viewers.

People who post stupid stuff like that?

I can’t place any value on their opinions regarding basketball. Cause they prove the aren’t objective.

I guess I just don't think it's important enough for all that.

 

[trojanfan12]

You aren’t wrong.

I go Magic because I loved him DESPITE him being a Laker…lol

Growing up in LA, he was larger than life.

Great player…

Great community leader…

Magic.

But, you surely aren’t the only person who believes it’s Kobe.

Even Magic says it's Kobe.

But I agree with you that it's Magic.

 

[trojanfan12]

Dude is getting paid over $25m. Man the fuck up and act professionally. Guys like Kobe and MJ got heckled daily and handled that shit on the court.

Kobe and MJ both have said they loved hearing the crowd boo them because they loved shutting them up with their play.

 

[trojanfan12]

yep im sure jordan and kobe never responded to a fan in their career lol

Actually, I don't recall either of them getting into it with fans. Same with Bird and Magic. Certainly not like Dray or Westbrook anyway.

The fact is, most players, especially star players don't. They have too much to lose.

The fact is Stern never would have allowed it.

Guys like Jordan Bird and Magic felt like that shit would be beneath them.

 

[The Q]

Honestly, with all the podcasts and the 24/7 media presenting situations, certain guys pop off just like pre match shit talking already. If I didn’t KNOW wrestling was fake, I’d probably really enjoy it. When I was 8 and stupid I loved that shit. Watched the Saturday morning cartoon. It was like when you found out about Santa and the Easter Bunny. Wrestling is fake same ball park.

Not gonna lie, I’ve been back watching after a long time off…kinda feels like the game has passed me by

They push the worst people

The booking is bad

At this point It’s really just geared for kids

 

[WiggyRuss]

The Western Conference is easily the worst I have ever seen it in my lifetime. There really is not even one elite team in the whole conference...not even one that is close to elite. Literally- I would not be shocked if any of the 8 teams came out.

Wow

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wow

I didn’t like what Sabonis did but Dray always has it coming. Dude never shuts up. Nobody feels sorry for this chump

 

[thunderc]

Not surprised

 

[fightinfunbags]

Wow

Sabonis should have gotten the same punishment. If they couldn’t justify that then Draymond should have just been a fine. This is from the same league whose answer to everything is double techs.

Eh, Draymond gets what he gets. They aren’t saying it but part could be his reaction and fan interaction on top. They have given him a pass far too often, enough is enough.

I agree that the league has given him a pass too many times.

But it isn’t right to pick today to make the example.

The league has created a monster in Draymond. Sitting him for a playoff game over how he responded to a very dirty play isn’t the right message.

Like I said, I bet the fan stuff on top was part of it. Sabonis isn’t known as a dirty player at all but he has to be the guy to stand up to Green. Warriors still win game 3, though I’ll be rooting for the Kings.

The Sabonis part of your comments doesn't make sense. Stand up to green? Nothing was happening on that play where he grabbed his leg. It was a bush league move and he should have gotten the shit slapped out of him....this isn't ufc

You think they had played almost 2 games without Green being himself? Sorry, you don’t get to do what Draymond does and then get to complain, I don’t care what happens to you, you get what you get.

I have a problem with the Kings being given a competitive advantage over something that Sabonis started with a non-basketball play from his back that could injure players. He was on the ground because he grabbed and tried to bring down Klay as well. I get the idea that the league has to stand up to Draymond. Do it in the regular season, not now.

You just hate draymond and can't be objective. I watched all 96 minutes of that series and prior to Sabonis trying to perform a ufc submission move on him, he did nothing out of the ordinary for him

No hate and I’m about as objective as they come. The league is at fault here for not using even better opportunities to show Green he doesn’t run the league but he gave them no choice. I just wish they would have been honest and said the fan interaction was part of it because it certainly should have been.
