Lost respect for him then. Two players that are so selfish, self-centered, and arrogant. But I will give him one thing, at least he told Denver he wanted out, which gave them a chance to trade him and actually get some talent for him. He did the Nuggets dirty, but nowhere near as dirty as #6 did Cleveland, so at least in that sense, he has a bit more integrity than #6.
This thing that they call the NBA, is not the game I love. It has lost it's luster for me. I think this generation of players are ruining the game with their wanting to be famous instead of just being basketball players that get famous. They are hustling backwards in my opinion. When you start playing basketball, you play it for the love of the game, the competition. You didn't play it to become famous or popular. You played to become good and beat other good players. You wanted to beat the best teams with your own squad, not join a super squad, but play with your own squad and win. You played for the game itself, and whatever else came with it, you were grateful for it and benefited from it. But now it's all backwards, and the game is worse for it. Thats's why you can see a player quit in the playoffs and get away with because he knows that if he wins, he'll look like even more of an @$@+@!@ for leaving a team after winning or playing for a title. That's why a player can get away with giving a half effort because he doesn't like a city no more, or a team no more or he wanna play in a particular city. That's why players can fake injuries so their team won't make the playoffs and people can say the team is getting better. That's why all this sucka stuff can happen. This generation of players in the NBA now, SUCKS, and they have ruined the game I love. I swear to god I hope LA, Boston, or San Antonio win the championship.
I don't like it, and to me, the NBA is dying. I don't love it like I used to.
