@BOMBAATA Wilt Chamberlain 2K 20K Oh Stop, everyone who's an idiot like u shouldn't go on a Chris Broussard criticism spree. Kawhi is the most unpredictable, quiet and shady dude in this league. All Broussard did was take his best educated guess on Kawhi. Kawhi could rob a bank and the sports world wouldn't find out about it until 3 to 8 weeks after he did it. Ans seriously you idiots call LeBron all types of names, but half of y'all know LeBron could beat y'all up as bad as the jews beat up Jesus.

Well as far as that off-season two years later the Clippers can still win a championship just continue adding depth and hope Kawai can stay healthy in my opinion they probably would’ve won it last season Boston kept on building and developing their players James Harden and Russell Westbrook lasted one season Anthony Davis win a championship so it worked out and Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving got swept

It’s so crazy how bad the hate for LeBron has gotten. People love to bandwagon on the internet to look cool. People do this all the time. Like a few months ago everyone wanted to hate on harden and his fouls just to look cool. Sad thing is it’s the fucking internet and the people that do it are afraid to give their own opinion.

These athletes are getting paid so much doing what they love to do and yet some of them are unhappy and ungrateful! The least thing these athletes can do for their fans is to not get involved in politics and just play ball. I was rooting for the Warriors all these years until they said that they will not go to the Whitehouse if invited. Well, you got your wish Warriors. I think someone took care of your wish.
