    It was basically the first paragraph of the article.

    To me, it's as bad as he put it... I mean you couldn't say, "Yo Kev, wtf man why'd you leave the game like that?" after the game ended?

    Instead you hold an entire organization filled meeting to question the legitimacy of someones illness. That's like me going home early because I felt sick today, calling in tomorrow, and the President, VP, Director, and my colleagues all holding a meeting just cause I felt ill for a day and a half.... this sounds insane as I type it but that's exactly what just happened to a sports team full of grown ass men.

    To be honest, blow it up now. Lebron is GONE.

    If I were him I would request a trade. If you have basically a whole organization asking whether you faked being sick, all trust has been lost.

    EDIT.

    I swear the original title of the thread had "Calves". Either someone caught it or I'm hallucinating. Time for lunch!

    Love: "Look guys, I wanted to keep this secret but since you all are making noise about me faking my illness just so you know I have a genital herpes flare up and if I touch the ball, you guys may get it"

    Cavs: "Yo Dude, our bad! Make sure you take as long as you need."

    Derrick Rose leaves the team without warning, questioning whether he wants to even play basketball again, and he gets support and compassion. Love gets sick for one game and practice and his teammates, coach, and VP have a team meeting to call him out. And it isn’t even kept behind closed doors, it’s leaked to the public. I’m not a Love fan, but that just seems wrong.

    They just won't grow. I've tried going heavy and high reps, it's just genetics.

    Coincidentally, last night my friend was telling me that NBA players fake injuries all the time. He said that cp3 and harden both faked an injury to get more rest. That they need to be fresh for the playoffs and what not.

    I think CP didn't do that.

    Harden might've. I dunno man.

    In the immortal words of Dave Chappelle when talking about whether or not Michael Jackson jerked off a kid:
    "Who da **** knows?"

    Other way around IMO

    CP3 looked normal after returning, Harden looked like dog **** his first game back.

    Well CP looked like dog **** in that opening game vs GSW. Pretty good for dog ****, honestly.

    Like I said, who the **** knows?

    I would go public and force a trade like Bledsoe did. F that! Did y'all see Lebron congratulate himself already for reaching 30,000 points tonight? Facepalm...

    Klove was just putting up big numbers on a bad team in minny, it doesn't help that he's been dealing with knee injuries for the past few years and he's soon to be on the wrong side of 30. I don't remember many players getting worse BECAUSE of LeBron, many have gotten worse while playing with him simply because they are on the downswing of their careers. D-Wade's production declined with LeBron, and kept declining after he was gone, suggesting that he's just getting old. As for Bosh, I think that LeBron can rub some people the wrong way just like CP3. The two work so hard at improving their games and are so naturally talented/mentally superior that they don't understand the mentality of guys content with what they have. They often come off as condescending and cruel to their lesser quality teammates. Methinks LeBron has avoided this criticism thanks to him being the best player on planet earth for the last decade, and being able to simply carry teams in ways that Paul cannot.
