This is actually a dope concept. NBA should consider this IF most of the Team USA members are AS next season

I was young when Mash was in his prime, but he was more of a low to mid post threat than a perimeter playmaker right?

Not sure if you saw this, but someone posted in one of my group chats yesterday.

People been known Phil a scumbag and he been exposed himself with his Lebron comments. He's always said slick **** regarding young black men and hip hop culture. The stuff he said about Kobe was crossing the line but people hated Kobe so hard they loved it.

at the end of the day you still hating on a black man you dont even know

FatHorse: ‘I don’t know how many people are going to be excited to play with Luka’

Doncic’s generational talent has drawn plenty of high praise from his peers and predecessors, but according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, admiration of the 22-year-old All-Star combined with Dallas’ big front office moves may not be enough to sway superstars to Dallas.

“I don’t know how many people are going to be excited to play with Luka,” Windhorst said during an interview with Shan and RJ on 105.3 The Fan Monday. “I think Luka is, maybe, a difficult person. He’s a great player, but when you watch the Mavericks play, he’s barking at the coach, he’s barking at his teammates, he’s barking at the officials. He’s always barking about something. He can really be an irritable guy.

“So, with a guy who has options, I will be interested to watch to see how that goes going forward. I do think that Luka isn’t a guy... let’s just say it’s not like going to play alongside LeBron [James] or Kevin Durant, guys who you can tell really form good bonds with teammates. I think he’s going to be a challenging guy to play with sometimes, but if you win, ultimately that’s usually going to be the only thing that matters.”

Doncic’s on-court temper was a big concern for the Mavs last season. His complaints toward officials landed him in trouble a few times, putting him dangerously close to triggering an automatic one-game suspension for racking up too many technical fouls. His chemistry or lack thereof with outgoing head coach Rick Carlisle and Kristaps Porzingis also drew considerable attention.

Windhorst was not the only one to question Doncic’s ability to play well with others on Monday. During an appearance on First Take, former NBA player Kendrick Perkins said he would take Hawks guard Trae Young -- Doncic’s frequently compared counterpart -- over the Mavs superstar if he were the general manager of a team.

“If I’m a GM and I’m starting a franchise, I’m taking Trae Young,” he said. “You know why? Because I know one thing, I’m gonna keep my job, I’m not gonna walk away or get fired or let go. See right now, what’s going on in Dallas, we don’t know what’s going on. The coaches are walking away, the general managers, the front office, it’s a disaster over there. And that goes to show me that something is going on in that locker room with their star player.

“It looks to me, guys love playing with [Young]. I can’t say the same for Luka.”

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Luka ain’t got that veil of protection. I’ll allow it

 

[elpablo21]

They were doing this same thing with Trae not even half a year ago.
