In case anyone forgot why LeBron is unlikable. This is why I've never been a Lebron fan. Lakers star LeBron James subtly fires back at Nuggets coach Michael MaloneFor some reason? ESPN focused on Lebron the entire series, even after they lost. And Lebron made sure it stayed that way by contemplating retirement postgame, even though we all know that isn't happening. He just wanted the talk to be about that instead of how he just got his ass swept out of the playoffs. Well, Lebron reverted to 'they just hate me 'cause they ain't me' form with this doozy. Shut the fuck up already, Sun. This is right up there with ""All the people that were rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do," from 2011 or whenever that was. The guy's just an asshole, plain and simple. Any positive thing he's ever done outside of basketball is a publicity stunt, it's comments like this that show his real character. I'm the Sun. What the fuck. |

Dray turned down his $27.5 M option. I'm nut sure that pushing the Warriors to pony up more is a good idea. especially with Myers gone. They already can't afford what they have, and even with Klay gone, they don't have a way to be a real contender.
OKC, San Antonio, and Detroit have cap space. Wemby and Dray would be interesting. Detroit is home for him.

What the fuck. I go back and forth on him as I do believe there are some respectable traits there. Dude has been a house hold name since he was barely out of diapers. That's a ton or pressure to live up to. Did it without a dad around. Lived up to the pressure and the expectations. Never hear his name linked with any trouble, married his high school sweetheart, doesn't have 12 kids by 10 different baby mama's, and does a lot of great work with his school. Yet then he says shit like he's the sun. Yet then he says shit like he's taking his talents to South Beach and not 1, not 2, not 3, etc. Yet then he says shit like the Cleveland Championship made him the greatest. I don't think all the good he does is a publicity stunt but I agree that he is very unlikable and a complete narcissist. I mean, dude has a tattoo that says "The Chosen One". If that ain't a narcissist then I don't know what is. |

Pretty much where I come down on it; LeBron definitely has unlikeable traits but they're pretty far down the list when it comes to reasons to dislike professional athletes. |

I'm ok with Lebron, but I do root against any team he's on. Lakers were my team for decades, I didn't like Wilt or Kareem or Shaq before they became Lakers but I liked them when they joined on. Not as much as Goodrich or Magic or Kobe, though. Never warmed to the Lebron Lakers.
ESPN did spend too much time on the retirement red herring, but I wasn't hearing that much more. And I have it on a ton all day. 2 hours of Sportscenters in the morning (one from overnight), the Sneaky Hembo segment, ATH, PTI, more Sportscenter, postgame wraps, etc.

Bronny Sr. will probably be tweeting stuff like this the rest of his life, I just tune it out. LeBron has led 3 different franchises to a title, that's not nothing.

Suns trading for Beal. KD on another super team. Everyone's talking about how they'll spread the touches around. We already know how: injuries. If they can get a top 4 spot in the West, & healthy for the playoffs, they should have a title run in them. I'm not picking them ahead of Denver, but I might be picking them ahead of any other Western team. |

They got Bill at a decent price because he had the no trade, So I don't think they're done making moves. |

He’s been such a big part of the organization. I kinda get it though. Their goal has been to win a championship. That hasn’t been accomplished, so moves needed to be made. I’ll be honest I know very little about Porzingis. Besides the obvious size I don’t really know what he’ll be bringing to the team? Hopefully he ends up being a difference maker in Boston. I still think though we need a difference maker PG. If I were Boston I would have thrown Payton Pritchard in to go to Washington if they would send us Chris Paul. |

That's been my take, but he's 27 and coming off his best year (7.7 WS). 65 games played after 7 straight years of missing more games than Ja is suspended for. basketball-reference.com/players/p/porzikr01.html |

All I can do now is hope he pulls a 1986 Bill Walton and miraculously stay healthy all season. |
