However, Smailagic says that his former teammate is an entirely different person than most of the fans might think. “Everyone is saying a lot of stuff, but for me, he’s like my brother,” Smailagic told BasketNews. “I really love him. Whatever he says or does on the court is not the same off the court because he’s a really nice and good guy. He loves to help people, talk to young players, and help to develop their game.” Source: Edvinas Jablonskis @ BasketNews
I'm not buying it. You can't kick people in the nuts repeatedly and be a good guy. Good people don't punch their teammates in the face. He's a player with an anger problem that the NBA has enabled. F him.
He's more of an attempting eye gouger now with Harden back in 2019 to Jokic in the 2022 Playoffs. He's a ticking time bomb that will cause somebody a career ending injury.
Well, whatever else he is, for right now, he's a freelancing dumbass who drove directly into the dead zone and f*ed up their chances in the final moments of game 4. And I'm here to keep enjoying the replay.
I cannot stand that guy. He must never become a Rocket. Please. I mean, I prefer KPJ to this guy 10 times out of 10, and that's saying something.
