- There no doubt that the NBA has changed over the years, and although this is good in some ways, it's not so much in others. The Ego/Cocky Problem with Modern NBA Players.
Now we see players requesting trades non stop, continuous complaining to refs, being a cry baby and overinflating their overall worth.

Disagree that Schröder’s case is entitlement. Even if a $84M offer really happened (like you said, Schröder’s side of tne story is a bit different) - he just made a bad gamble, overestimated the PG free agency market this year and lost a ton of money. I’m not aware of Schröder ever complaining or blaming someone, so how is this entitlement?
Entitled: believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
You say "bad gamble".
This is a euphemism - a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing.
"Entitled" IS an "unpleasant/embarrassing label....
@@darrengordon-hill I don't disagree on your comment but based on your definition, over 1/2 of NBA players are 'entitled' if they don't accept the contract that was offered by the teams. All the female athletes are 'entitled' as they fight for equal pay.
What Schroder did was a business decision. He lost on that the decision he made. That is not entitlement. What Simmons did was not entitlement. He has mental issue that is hindering his ability to perform. You can call him weak minded, thin skinned, bad teammate, etc but entitled? No.
Harden, on the other hand, shows entitlement tendencies. He feels like he has the power to commend for a trade because his is James Harden. His attitude fits the definition perfectly.
@@fredlin6303
So what if "1/2 of NBA players are "Entitled""?
What if that's simply reality???
Part of "entitled" is "overestimating/overstating one's value".
He turned down $84mil with NO OTHER OFFERS... under belief he could generate "even more" (not even having that contract as a "safety net/backup" option).
"Who has cap space?"
"Whose roster do I fit?"
"Are they rebuilding or contending?"
THESE are things to consider...
NOT "I think I'm worth more than $84mil"
And I disagree with literally first clip of the video. LeBron had all the right to be disappointed with that horror no-foul call against Celtics last year.
@@romari2706
AKA entitled.
Believing he was worth more based on [fuck if I know]
Players been complaining to the referees from the dawn of time, dont act like it just started (especially with lebron). Ive been watching basketball (including the NBA) a very long time and this always been "part of the game".
Patrick Ewing was the worst of all time. Made me sick to watch him.
MJ was doing the same thing back then, but when guys like Luka or LeBron do it they are crybabies. The double standard is real lol
Back then the game was physical…so I can understand if players back then were always on the refs heads cause they feel they got fouled and the ref didn’t call it. Plus a lot of players back then sucked it up and went back on defense. These dudes today be flopping and wanting ticky tack fouls being called for them
@@lolstfu2950 Double standard my ass. Have you seen the footage of the fouls that the Bad Boy Pistons would do to Jordan? No one is trying to slam Luka to the ground. Theyre not trying to end his career. Michael had every right to complain. They were really trying to hurt him. You can't say that about today's players. They are acting like cry babies when they get fouled
@@DADON99it’s was a running joke that you couldn’t breath on MJ without getting a foul called. This is a false narrative pushed by old heads craving the “old days”. Btw I am a old head and watched basketball from the mid 80’s.
I always look at topics like this from both sides. There is definitely entitlement there, if you’re getting paid billions to do something you love - how could you not be more humble.
But also, players are starting to realize that they are the main attraction and they have leverage. Players are now finally becoming bigger than their owners. And that word owners, has many parallels that one comment can’t expressz
Some stuff is beyond business as you are pointing out
But like Ben Simmons sitting out and refusing to work
That is beyond leverage of your own value that is just a personal war because he is offended
No business leverage power struggle whatsoever just petty revenge
@@tpsamI'd say he has regressed due to mental issues cause the way he's playing with the nets is unbelievable compared to his 76s days. Hes probably traumatized cause he was brought up with no criticism all his life and then everyone started shifting their attitude at once.
and in the case of simmons, its only dropping his stock rapidly, hes not even achieving anything from it - other than the massive amount of money ofc but that deal will run out soon enough and hell be low on options
@@tpsam
Daryl Morey not Morley. And Jimmy Butler didn't get traded because of salary cap limitations. He was going to leave as a free agent to Miami anyway, so they did a sign and trade so they could get something back for him (Josh Richardson) and he could get more money.
Players are the commodity. I'm always gonna be all for player empowerment
Agreed. When teams trade away loyal players nobody says anything but when the players do it now it's a problem! More power to the players!
Players are not the commodity. They're the labor force. There's a big difference between those two things.
@@BiggieTrismegistus players are the commodity my dude.
NBA ratings confirm super teams and players forcing their way to specific teams is making fans not want to watch. The ratings keep declining but all these young fans believe because they're watching the NBA it means the entire world is watching the NBA. It's simply not reality.
That foul Pat Beverley was arguing about was crazy
pretty sure thats what he meant@@west7965
sick editing 🔥
Prayers should absolutely be empowered. There is no such thing as loyalty in the nba. And the players generate the revenue. The players owe them nothing but a contract
Then eventually the fans are going to get tired of the whining players and ever changing teams. Good luck getting contracts playing to no one on tv. The only reason the league could keep paying the ridiculous salaries is the explosion of interest from china. Of course that requires nba players to cheerleader a genocidal dictatorship.
The only players I see as entitled are Harden, Kyrie, Embiid, and Simmons.
This is a good video, but Dennis Schröder's story is one of humility not *entitlement* .
I wouldn't put declining a contract extension in the same realm as constantly requesting trades, and refusing to play. Dennis bet on himself and it didn't work out.
Yes good point
Oh he's humble NOW!!!
"I didn't even wanna be there, I need to be where I fit in"
Sure pal, THAT'S why you chose 5mil per year over 20mil per year... makes sense....
Entitled.
Turning down 84mil cos you think you're worth MORE... then taking CONSIDERABLY LESS.
Entitled.
And crying "ignorance/unaware of FA market" is YET MORE ENTITLEMENT!!!
Because he didn't even know the market!!!
He just "wanted $100mil contract" cos HE FELT "he deserved it".
ENTITLED!!!!
@@darrengordon-hillTo be fair, the talk at the time was that his agent screwed him over, persuading him the better offer is coming.
@@darrengordon-hillAlongside what happened with Dennis in the FIBA Cup.
He and Wagner led the way to Germany's victory with Dennis as the MVP.
He's most likely humble now and will probably be willing to make the right choices as he goes to Toronto.
It's turned a lot of fans off actually. I have a couple friends who stopped watching and keeping up with the NBA because of this BS. They just watch college ball now and honestly I don't blame em
Fiba this year was so refreshing and interesting to watch,compared to NBA.
Schroder doesn't deserve to be in this video hope he gets at least 100ms he is that good
Said this the most entitled era like you even know what business was being handled back in the older era of the NBA. Players wanting to be paid is nothing new😂🤦🏾♂️
It's crazy how people say that you are entitled when you understand that you have value and you want the most of that value you you present to a team
Some people don't like it when you stand up for yourself. Its a shame to be honest. This generation isn't going to allow you to take advantage of them like the previous generation allowed. Thats why some of the players from back then are hating on these players. Theyre jealous that they didn't have the same opportunities these players have now
Dennis Schröder never received the $84 Mil offer by the Lakers (Interview with Leeroy Matata)
Honestly people complain too damn much these players should think of themselves and only themselves these owners and gm's never had to show any loyalty to players so players shouldn't have to show loyalty either they need to focus on what they feel is best for them and if people don't like it who cares
People are mad that these players dont wanna be cash cows to an organization anymore
The fact LeBron and Kyrie aren’t on this list is crazy
LeBron??? Lol
All i gor from this entitlment is that players are being humans and not workers people are mad that they cant stand up for themselves at their job do whats best for them this a new era where the people at the bottom doesnt lose there charachter and allow people at the top to control them older generation is not used to that my age understand that we have the choice to do what ever we want people in society now understand the workers players or the bottom people really have the power as we keep everything running for everyone whats a leader whats a boss wothout workers a common person like everyone else its a new age people are not slaves anymoreb
facts. but lots of the people making this video are white boys with zero life knowledge lmao
These people forget that this is a job to these NBA players. Regular people with regular jobs are doing it right now with not wanting to go back in the office to work, but instead work from home, or not work for low wages. Guess who's mad about it, the owners of the companies. Are those people now entitled? This is the very same thing. The owners want to get the players back in line like how these owners want to do for regular workers
This is why I've taken a break from the nba. It's become a soap opera, filled with players who act like crybabies when they don't get their way.
same here I've been watching the Euroleague more lately than the NBA
Yup
Then don’t watch it. U white folks always have a problem when a black man has the power to do what ever he wants to do. It’s actually crazy how y’all show ur true colors.
Im watching more nba than ever because of the drama....and the excellent world class players playing amazing basketball.
The NBA was a soap opera in the 90s but a good one😂
Entitled: feeling that you have the right to do or have what you want without having to work for it or deserve it, just because of who you are (cambridge dictionary). Out of these 3 players; one averaging a trade request per year, not hesitating to miss games or intentionally perform poorly to get his point across. Another one intentionally missing games and practice cause he didn’t want to show up to work anymore. And the last one Dennis Schroeder a man who if the contract rumours were true which he himself has denied, decided to bet on himself to get a better contract the following year and turned down the contract cause he thought he was worth more, in what universe is that entitlement? Did Schroeder act like a spoilt brat and miss games? Talk shit to the media? Whine and bitch saying he was worth more? Nah he kept to himself and worked to earn a better contract. Or is any player who turns down a contract = entitled? Are they supposed to bend over backwards to the organisation and take whatever money they are offered?
does he had other offers? no? does this signal entitlement ‘hey other nba team, i want better payday, sign me’… does entitlement means expecting other to be in your favor?
@@MiddleClassNaPobredid he say he wanted others to be in favour? Or are you just assuming? He took a pay cut to bet on himself to raise his stock and try to get a better offer the next off season. If he made a scene okay sure you can say he’s entitled, but all he did was decline a contract. If I were to offer you a contract which you do not agree with are you just gonna take it blindly? And if you reject it are you entitled? Then that makes all the NBA players that declined contracts for whatever reason entitled. Let me show you the definition again: feeling that you have the right to do or have what you want without having to work for it or deserve it, just because of who you are. My mans literally took a pay cut for the year to WORK and improve his stock so other teams would offer him more, he didn’t whine and bitch about the team lowballing him, he didn’t say anything about other teams needing to offer him more money, so where is your source from? Or are you just assuming?
Felt way out of place when he put him next to Ben Simmons lmao.
Dwight was more willing to shoot threes than Simmons.😂
Ben Simmons back injury is glossed over by everyone. Really hard to recover from. To manage it is tough.
I used to believe that these players were entitled too. What woke me up was this whole situation between Dame and the Blazers. Now I understand why Lebron did what he did and in return it created the Players empowerment. It made me realize that the majority of these owners dont care about winning championships. They just want the revenue. So what if an organization has a star player who feels that winning a championship is important but its not to the organization? Should that player just keep playing for the organization and hope that he can win a championship with whatever teammates he has, or should he leave and go play for an organization who does want to win a championship? Now when it comes to Dame, if you think that the Blazers have done everything in their power to get Dame in a position to help him win a championship, youre lying. He has been that organization's cash cow this whole entire time. Thats why its taking them so long to trade him. They need another cash cow to take Dame's place, so they can continue bringing in the revenue and not care about winning championships. So excuse these players for not allowing themselves to just be cash cows to these owners
I agree that the blazers didnt do everything they could to help dame, but dame didnt have to resign. he couldve entered free agency and signed with whoever he wanted (keeping in mind any other team has to pay him less due to super max deal rules) so he takes the biggest contract that is available to him in portland then demands to be traded to one team and one team only. You cant have your cake and eat it too. I have no issue with franchise players leaving their teams and entering a market. but being demanding about when and where you have to be traded and threatening to not play and kick up a stink if you go the a team you didnt want is entitlement imo
So the coaches and the players don't want to win? I mean, if the org wants money, don't they want to win too? Or at least be competitive?
Even if I'd agree they should be able to take their chances with another team, surely you could agree it'd be more impressive if that player stayed with his team and they developed the chemistry and strategy to overcome their opponents (instead of join them).
Loyalty, work ethic; those are the kind of things that result in happy fans that want to like you and buy your product. Not the me first attitude of some of today's players.
@@lachlanhanley9559 Dame is not in his 20s. Time is ticking for him. He's getting older. You just admitted that the Blazers hasn't done all they could to help him get the right players around him to try and win a championship. What makes you think that had Dame not done anything they would all of a sudden do right by him? Scoot wasn't brought there to help. He's there to replace Dame and be their future cash cow
@@BinaryBard64 Its not to me. Especially when it sounds like loyalty to you means to suffer with the hopes of one day achieving your goal. Every NBA player doesn't care about winning championships. A lot of today's players care about the money. It just seems like the players that do want to win are the most scrutinized, because they choose to do whatever it takes to win. They shouldn't have to waste their prime years on a team who isn't showing them that they want to win just as much as they do
@tashied422 I'm not sure you read my comment thoroughly. I'll reiterate. Based on your own argument that the blazers did nothing to build around him, which I agree with, he should not have resigned with Portland. But he did because that's how he makes the most money and then demands a trade and says he'll have a tantrum if it's anywhere but miami
As a Sixers fan the constant player entitlement and sitting out is getting old. Play for your paycheck so your trade value can rise. No other team going to trade for you if your mental state and personality is mess
They worked hard to get in the game, you wouldn't understand unless you lived it
Harden is the worst of the worst, wait that dude named Ben is 😂
At the end of the day none of us know what goes on behind the scenes to influence players’ decisions. They are in a business no matter how much they or any of us love the game. So calling misinformation or incomplete information entitlement is a bit ignorant.
Lol the announcers screaming when he hit his first 3....
Without the players there is no nba. Yall need to stop crying all the time. This shit doesn't affect a single nba fan directly at all. A good player left your team? Get over it. It's a business. No loyalty in business.
The world we live in is nuts, pay an nba player who’s made 2 3pointers 100s of millions
Bro just brought the first World Cup title to Germany in their basketball history ever, became goddamn MVP of the WC, outplayed many nba players regarded higher as he is, and you can’t still hold back to make a video like that, including him without even mentioning all that. Still only recognising him for something that’s way in the past while the other two players are still like that, come on bruh
Ben Simmons is in a league of his own here
Imagine how big your ego need to be when kobe tell you to get a jumpshot and you dont 😅
Players do complain but refs are way to corrupted.
yeah, no . schroder isnt in the same conversation with harden and simmons. schorder got his chip. harden and simmons will never
I love the title. It’s true
Honestly I’m glad Morey played Harden by making him think he’ll get a max contract
Harden don’t deserve shit
Bruh Harden made that franchise relevant for 10 years, pay the man
weirdo
The Most Entitled Era of NBA 'Owners' Ever: the entire history of the league.
The league knows its entire existence is more about players than teams, because the league has marketed the players and fans have locked onto their favorites. The players are only reacting to that.
Loyalty in the nba lol, if I was an nba MILLIONAIRE I’d demand more player power as well.
The difference is that European basketball fans are more passionate and they don't appreciate entitlement players taking their money. Throwing objects from your fans in the court and burning the car of such a player has happened.
You have kids making hundreds of millions of dollars to play a game. Not really sure what else was expected.
harden is far from a superstar
It’s only a business for teams, while the Players are expected to shut up and dribble. It’s horrible for Harden to demand 3 trades in 3 years but it’s ok for Westbrook to be trades 3x in 4 years, Luke Ridinour traded 3x in 1 year, and Sheed traded twice in a matter of days.
It’s ok to run players like Ben Simmons out of town but when players like Bron (the decision), KD, and Kawhi want to leave horrible franchises (look how awful those teams got the sec those players left) they are horrible ppl who get their jerseys burned in the street and destroyed by the media. It was ok for Tor to trade Derozan, who stated he wanted to retire a Raptor, for Kawhi to win a ring, but it was bad for AD to demand a trade to LAL to do the same.
I admit players, esp role players, complain way too much, but we are being hypocritical about the other stuff cuz teams are equally entitled.
This is so true. People expect complete loyalty from players. But teams don’t have to be loyal at all to there players. It’s such a dumb double standard
My thoughts exactly. Well said.
It's a team sport.
Players come and go but the Boston Celtics are still here, long after Bill and Larry and Paul.
James Harden wants to a "perfect scenario" - or he'll point fingers and pout.
Why are you praising this?!?!
When you look at the caliber of teammates he's had, who's holding him back?!?!
LeBron had a TV SHOW to announce "the decision".
Then "not 4, not 5, not 6" when joining Miami.
Maybe he should learn what HUMILITY is.
OKC was a "horrible franchise"??

The word Entitlement is incorrectly used in this video. Harden's demand for trade because he IS James Harden shows entitlement. His dissatisfaction with the money, GM or teammates are not. Those are business decisions.
As for Simmons and Schroeder, neither are showing entitlement attitudes. One has mental issue that prevents from performing while the other just made a poor business calculation. There are far better examples to pick from, like LeBron wanting to build his own team or KD who can only play with people he wants to play with. Those are far better athletes showcasing entitlement attitudes in the NBA.
I have a lot of issues with watching the NBA these days, im 42 and i remember when players loved to play the game. Theres a lot of "only in it for the $" players. Just how i feel.
These dudes aren't at a park playing pickup. It's their careers and they make the owners a hell of a lot of money. Players have always went for money. That's why Shaq left Orlando is it not?

Inclduing Schröder in this is bullcrap. Also that deal never happened the way media portrays it. Also Schröder showed a sense of self irony with this (his fumbled bag instagram post)... This is lazily put together. Look at how Schröder carried himself in the Fiba world cup for a better picture of who Schröder is and always was.

This reason why i barely watch nba anymore
Gratitude simply because they have high salaries is stupid bootlicking. They have high salaries because their work is worth a fuck of a lot more than their collective salaries and most of the money goes to do-nothing executives
No player accountability at all
Agreed. Player empowerment has caused an major issue because they long have to respect the contract that is given by the franchise that gets the most incentives hence the advantage financially of resigning with a team in the first place. Kyrie got away with it, Jimmy Butler got away with it, Anthony Davis got away with it, and we dont even have to go into James. The current business model of the CBA will not negate this. They are going to have to add non-garunteed contracts to fix this.
thats why its never been intelligent to pay sports athletes millions of dollars. cut their pay in half and its still over 6 figures. they dont deserve millions to dribble a damn ball or kick a ball or throw a ball. sports dont make people actually worth millions. nobody on earth is worth more than a dollar. shit theres over 8 billion of us and we dont all matter
"Player empowerment has caused an major issue"... well, you have to thanks Lebron James for that
@@digitalian99 He's the Don Corleone of this mentality.
@@digitalian99 Lebron realized what the owners intentions were and he wanted no parts of it. He didnt want to be just a cash cow to an organization. Most of these owners don't even care about winning a championship. All most of them want is the revenue. So if you're a player who wants to win a championship, you want to know if the organization you're playing for is on the same page with you. If the player feels theyre not, they have every right to leave, and go to an organization that will help them win a championship
@@digitalian99when has lebron requested a trade
not u captioning the ben Simons section as crybaby AHAHHA
Trade demands are a blight on the league, just like 'super teams'. So difficult for fans when their favourite players walk. I get people saying that teams can trade them away etc, but at the end of the day, the teams are the employer and most of the entitled players are paid generational wealth.
Still, it's a bit hypocritical that we have zero problem when a team treats players like assets to be traded or handled in any way they wish, but when a player isn't 'loyal' and wants to change team we have problem with that. The trade system is broken, because if a team doesn't want you, then they can send you wherever they like, something that kinda messes up a players life. I think trades is just a bad way to do business. Just have players to either play their contracts in full and then see if they get a good offer by a different team, or they can have their contracts bought out by a different team that wants them before they're free agents. This is a better way of doing things for me.

That last point was garbage the refs are out of hand. If you have any form of common sense you know that the players have a right to bitch at the refs currently.

Luka is the cry baby of nba these days lol
He was whining and complaining during the FIBA. He even admitted he was doing it
They are not has bad as* has they think they are. Money can always bring out the stupid in people. Super star is way over used.
Modern nba players are soft.
Calling them entitled when they generate BILLIONS in revenue is pretty ridiculous.
It is quite strange to reflect on Ben Simmons downfall and you realise how lucky he is 'cos even after everything he did to Phili, you didn't see Will Smith, coming up from the stands, stepping on to the court and.........etc.
I stopped watching the NBA after Kobe Bryant retired coz I know players from the new generations - though extremely talented - are all but high-strung and primadonnas. It's all about the money and the lifestyle now. Gone are the days where players hold high value and responsibility to their respective teams and fans.
At least Kyrie loves basketball
Are you a kobe fan ?
This why I stopped watching basketball. Nothing but pre Madonna's
LeBron started this😂
world champions of what!!!! 🤣🤣
It's called the NBA Championship. Not the NBA World Championship.
afaik Schröder is world champion of basketball
why are you whispering
Here come the soft entitled fans trying to make excuses for soft entitled players that they like. I don't get that type of fandom. And I don't care how much of a business it is. Players acting like they don't care and not even moving their bodies on defense - looking at you James Harden and Lebron James - is disgusting. How you can take any players from this era, but a tiny handful, to be on the 75th anniversary team shows how badly Adam Silver has helped ruin the NBA. Because it IS ruined. When KD and the Thunder got beat by the Warriors and KD went and immediately signed with the Warriors, I knew it was a wrap as that was one of the most pu$$y things I've ever seen an NBA superstar do. And it's why his chips don't mean a damn thing to me. Giannis ONE ring with the Bucks means way more. And this era is why LBJ can never be on no GOAT lists or even no top 5 lists. He's not even the greatest at the position. Dudes don't even play defense or even TRY to play defense. It's horrible and it's why I don't watch the league anymore. Which is also why I don't buy into the BS narrative that "players from this era are more athletic and talented". BASED OFF WHAT? Inflated STATS???! For a guy like Harden who doesn't even MOVE HIS BODY on defense, to be on the 75th anniversary team was an absolute joke. They praise guys like Melo - who forced his way onto the Knicks even though it gutted them, never even tried to act like he wanted to win a ring and took a thousand shots a night, But guys like Giannis get downplayed. The league SUCKS. Adam Silver needs to go. He's done an AWFUL job with the NBA.
Kinda losing respect for James
Why are you whispering
Harden will never win a chip til he humbles his dang self, therefore he will retire RINGLESS... Simmons suxXx, PERIOD... LMFAO

Put James on the cover not Dennis. Dennis is the best basketball player in the world
Dude, buy a better microphone
I've never cared for the NBA, so the fact that I sat through this entire video says a lot. Very well made.
The NBA’s CBA is very much to blame for this culture. Max deals that prevent teams from enticing players with more money have led to this culture of wanting to get traded every other year. Personally, I think baseball does a much better job of balancing player-friendly deals with team loyalty.
All athletes are spoiled and entitled. One of the reasons i don't like athletes anymore.
hardens a diva baby over 5 million a year but yet hes got no chips or play off success
Thier athlete not role model

Some of these players are so out of touch with reality and live in such an entitled and delusional space. These are children not adults. They don't cure cancer or have any real impact on society and want praise for playing basketball. What a joke. Hard to appreciate players who have no respect for fans and the money they spend. Boycott the NBA.
Calling the man Morley couple of times, saying 76ers had to choose between Embiid, Simmons or Butler, putting Schröder on this list (and not more diva type/entitled players like Irving or Durant or even Dončić and Zion)...
And most of your videos have huge amount of negativity and "dirt", like an NBA tabloid wannabe...as Joey tells us every day - "do better".

@@brandonlowinski2247 Derrick Rose epitomizes what it means to be entitled. He was medically cleared refuse to play. Derrick Rose did not want to put forth an effort to recruit potential All-Stars. Everyone keeps preaching how great he is and how he brought Chicago to the promised land but in reality he never brought a championship to Chicago he had a small moment when he was in his prime but believe it or not he wasn't worth the hype he was a financial ways and injury-prone joke. Derrick Rose cheated to get into college. Once he got his Adidas deal then all the sudden she kept making excuses on why he couldn't play. At the end of the day if you're having your own personal issues I have all the empathy in the world for you but you still have to be willing to think of the greater good at least if you would have took a nap a cut or done something to justify his insanely large salary while shortchanging the Bulls when they were in playoff contention. Keep in mind Derrick Rose's comments about the reason he didn't want to go back to playing earlier was because he was thinking about playing basketball with his son when he gets older. I am all for family bonding I'm all for having that connection with your kids but you realized what kind of a disrespectful, that is to every player in the NBA that's making a fraction of his salary and willing to put their bodies on the line for the sake of their team their career and their livelihood. Then you also have to take into account that Derrick Rose unnecessary drama to the NBA with the whole enabling of potential rapist. So how on Earth is this guy not an N abled entitled overhype NBA player that should not be worthy of being on the court
Soooooo Magic Johnson crying and being a prima donna and alienating his team, MJ basically getting breathed on by defenders and crying and treating his own teammates like crap (punching Steve Kerr in his face ring a bell?) Isaiah Thomas crying that the only reason Larry Bird was getting his recognition was because he was white, these are not prima Donna players? The NBA is a business and these owners don’t care about these players. They treat them like cattle and throw them away when they’re done using them (look at The Celtics and I.T) do they flop? Sure so did Patrick Ewing and MJ. This isn’t anything new it’s just a different era. Just like any business, there’s no loyalty you look after yourself get the most money for you and dip if something better comes along.
Just get rid of simmons. 😂😂😂 Simmons is just useless. Predictable
You ain’t slick saying that Lebron is leading the pack in complaining to refs. Your a hater thinking that he does it the most.
Get off your soapbox
All the greatest who couldn’t get a ring in the Jordan era would thrive right now…. That’s why Jordan is the Goat and No one Else No Debate
What’s the deal with the background music?
This goofy as video. If youtube said they would give you a contract for 5 mil if you posted every week for a year, then they don’t come through with their half and also started to restrict your videos from being posted i bet you would want your money. Thats exactly what harden is going through, no money and he cant leave the team
