At the time it happened I was really bothered by it, but mainly because I hated that Pistons team as a kid. I don’t really care anymore. But I guess some people really do. LOL.

I love when people reveal their hatred by making a big deal of things that ordinarily wouldn't matter to them in the least.

I think all three of these scenarios - Mike hating the Bad Boys, Jimmy Butler saying he was the 1, 253rd ranked player and Shaq making up that David Robinson snubbed him of an autograph - are all examples of how athletes, as well as very successful people, often create or modify narratives to motivate them to go the extra mile which is what has allowed them to excel. It sounds ****** up but self-manipulation can work and in these extreme cases, the more you say it and others run with it, the more you actually begin to believe it even though you know it's not true.
I am by no means saying this makes them off but it is a unique intangible within their DNA that makes them great at what they do.
Player MJ let everything bother him and used it all as motivation. Part of why he was so good ... and such an a-hole

The background/beef behind this is hilarious

No problem with applying as a business.
Would be stupid not to in these times.

Not surprised by this at all. I said the other day when the news broke about practice facilities possibly re-opening that I could see players not feeling comfortable going back to work yet.

This is a pretty cool video of Rodman explaining the triangle offence. Now can someone explain to me why it's not working today? Shouldn't it be more effective since everyone on the team is now expected to know how to shoot a basketball?

Irrational UW Fultz slander isn’t tolerated.

Glad NBA teams knew better than to open anything up this early.

All the ice in the melting ice caps wouldn't have been enough to remedy what went wrong there.

Doesn't lead to many 3 point opportunities really. Which makes sense, it was developed in a time where you had strong post players and the focus was on scoring out of the post or getting to the basket instead of hunting for 3s.

If you have to pretend that Rodman's life was interesting… if you don't think his life was interesting, I need to know details about your life, immediately. Because it must be a hell of a ride for ya.

Personally I feel nothing but terrible for the kid.
I can't imagine what it would be like suddenly mentally short circuiting while you have the scrutiny of being the number one pick.
I hope nothing but good things happens to him from Here on out, cuz he got dealt a tough hand.
