That got dark. 

I probably would be surprised.  I think he knows he is stealing money at this point and is fine with that. 

I don't think he will struggle with an identity crisis after his basketball career because clearly he didn't really love the game. 

I think he will be happy when it's over and he can just continue making tons of money as a video game influencer.

Maybe but his absolute refusal to improve his shot by taking and missing shots during a game speaks to an exceptional insecurity. I see him as more than spoiled, disinterested and aloof. He is those things but I think it’s more than that.

I tend to agree with you. At his peak he was a legit NBA player, who was unstoppable in transition, a Top 3 to 5 defender even though he couldn't shoot and that is totally gone. He is a total shell of himself. Some strong mental issues that you hope he is getting help for. 

Or, and I’m just throwing this out there…he got his big contract and his true character revealed itself. He couldn’t care less about the game, and he is extremely lazy. The goal was getting the max deal, and he did it and shut down.

I've been saying that all along. He's more interested in being a celebrity rather than a basketball player 

He's like Andrew Bynum. 

By the way..... We're approaching the 10 year anniversary of the Hinkie hiring 😲

That's a great comp. Get the contract and shut it down. At least we traded away the cancer this time.

His numbers the first year of his max and previous are the same but his last year his playoff numbers definitely dipped.

I agree this is largely his own making but he also obviously has legit mental weaknesses that contributed to his collapse.  It's hard to recall someone regressing from being a quality player on his first day in the league to this point. 

I get what you are saying and I felt that way to a point but now even he knows he doesn't belong in the league but there is no way he walks away from the money.  He's going to stick around and be a perpetual punchline until his contract runs out.  

Really, would anyone be shocked if he attempted or committed suicide at some point?  

I don't think he suffers from depression. He seems like a narcissistic personality disorder. I think he legit thinks he's awesome, and its everyone else around him that sucks.

Good comparison

Pumped for these final 25 games

Shooting like crap. 

 

 

 

Such a great block by Jackson.

This team Is once again another great talent away from going the distance. Expect another 2nd round exit. 

This game is annoying. 

 

4 point game, 5 minutes to go.

and an air ball....
