Because there's a huge gap between the Lebron that we got in those 2011 Finals and the "best player on the floor"... [Reply]

What is this shit?
Booker is still #1 on that team and apparently you aren't allowed to add talent when you have the chance. [Reply]

Irrelevant to my point. He played like shit and they lost. As with every other season of his career, he had to be the best player on the Heat to win that series and wasn't (and he clearly was their best player all year before that point, even with Wade not being washed yet). [Reply]

Kevin Durant is the #1 on any team that Kevin Durant is on. He's one of the greatest players to ever play the game (Booker is not that). See his Finals MVPs he won while playing with Steph Curry (who is as well, as much as it pains me). [Reply]

Welcome to KCC Lebron Stan logic.
Suns can stack the deck in their favor all they want. I welcome it in these times.
But talking shit to Luka after he eliminated you in the playoffs last year and after Durant carried you across the finish line yesterday (with 37 points and the game winning shot) is something else, wouldn't you agree? [Reply]
Scott Foster basically lost his mind, yeah. A strange ending to a good game. Denver got three questionable calls in a row before that to effectively decide it and I’m sure the Raptors were bitching about them. He probably just forgot that he hadn’t T’d up Barnes before that though.

He's the one that gets to talk shit until the stink of that loss washes off, not Booker (especially considering the Suns had to add a top 10 player in history to beat Luka and that Booker is no longer leading that team).
It would have been weird for him to talk shit after missing that layup, but then again it’s Luka. What’s even more funny about all of it is that Booker wasn’t even talking shit to Luka, he was just pointing out that it should have been a foul. Luka getting upset about anyone complaining to the refs is hilarious considering it’s what he’s most famous for. His own coach hates how much Luka cries to the refs. [Reply]
Don't know if this is true. But watching this video he has a serious issue with alcohol and looking at his family just letting this happen is pretty sad. But they want the free ride that he provides.
Hearing from my Memphis source that Ja Morant has checked in rehab for drugs and alcohol.
He will be gone for more than 2 games. Possibly the whole season. Apparently his alcohol addiction has been getting worse this year.
Well if Steve Franklin said it…hahaha. Twitter “news” is hilarious. I mean at least use someone with enough money to pay for a check mark to make it seem legit. He may miss more than 2 games, but there is no way the NBA is going without its most electrifying player in the playoffs. He’s gonna go off in the postseason. [Reply]

That is why I said if true. Don't know the guy but I found it interesting Jenkins said no timetable for his return so doesn't sound like 2 games will be it. Could be wrong.
But since the police are now investigating him and the NBA finds out he had that gun on the team plane he could get an indefinite suspension. Arenas got 50 games which would be the precedent. [Reply]

Gilbert brought a gun to his LOCKER ROOM without a license to carry in the District of Columbia so he committed a felony. I don’t see the league using that case as a “precedent” considering there are some major differences. Mainly there not being any “victim” as Ja was just flashing the gun on social media. Gilbert was in a feud with his teammate when he brought the gun to the locker room. That’s obviously a huge difference. [Reply]
