When has KD ever embraced the villain role lmfao all he does is act like a poor widdle victim. Look at his recent comments about his Nets exit. Or anything he has said about his leadership on his teams.

Just got news that Adam Silver himself read your post and is hereby calling off the in season tournament as a result. Hope you're happy now pal.
The 2017 Warriors could've pulled a homeless guy off the streets of San Fran, put him in a suit and appointed him as head coach, and they still go on and win the ring no diff.
was easily our 3rd most impactful player after ben and cam thomas for these last few games. sad too cuz now that ben is cooked dfs wont have as many open looks as he used to
Dont forget Ben "Rookie of the Year" Simmons
Load management is such a damn hoax. Sitting players does nothing.
If people really give a shit about keeping athletes healthy long-term they need to stop looking at the NBA and look at youth basketball. The AAU grind means kids are coming into college and then NBA with an insane amount of wear and tear on their bodies.
Not to mention kids specializing in basketball only rather than playing a variety of sports, which leads to the same ligaments and body parts getting overworked extra hard.
Dudes in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s used to play 70-80 games no problem. Injuries weren't more prevalent than they are today. That's because players back then hadn't destroyed their bodies at a young age by routinely getting up at 7 am for their next AAU game to get highlights for their Ballislife mixtapes. Shit's wild.
Product of modern NBA giving offense massive advantages over defense. Not even on some boomer shit but it really can't be understated just how large of an effect the lack of calls on carrying, traveling, and moving screens. And don't even get me started on how soft defensive foul calls are these days.
The NBA wants to prioritize offense because that's what casuals like to see but when everyone in the NBA is an offensive beast putting up 25-30+ every game it just all regresses to the mean.
