    I see the little guy is still obsessed with you and following you around. He obviously lives a sad life if insulting people online is what he does with his spare time.

    Still cannot root for KPJ after what he did to his girlfriend.

    I don't believe KPJ has sorted out his personality disorder or whatever the hell is wrong with him, so even if the talent ends up being legit, I think he will end up drumming himself out of the league at some point. Clearly has huge anger issues and a lack of impulse control at a minimum, if not something worse. I'm less concerned with his basketball career at this point and more just hope he doesn't end up killing somebody. Pretty gross that he still has an NBA career, but not surprising. Most if not all NBA owners are garbage people too.

    Cam doesn't appear to have anger issues at least, maybe he can grow out of his current bad attitude after eating enough humble pie. But I suspect that's going to be a long process if so. If I were a betting man, I'd lay money he ends up overseas for awhile, and maybe he makes it back to the NBA after that and maybe not.

    I think if Cam flames out in Washington due to what has been reported recently - attitude and lack of professionalism, he could see himself out of the league quickly. Being dumped by two teams for character issues so quickly has to be a death sentence in the NBA.

    I think kpj is unobtainium at this point as he is borderline superstar. Cam tho, we should try and low-ball the wiz as they are obviously not patient enough to see the truth. Maybe we can offer Amen and a first to get him back.

    His GF actually stood up for him and defended him in court. KPJ pleaded guilty to charges of misdemeanor and assault and got sentenced to treatment and community service which he finally cleared this year. He also lost his NBA contract and had to play overseas for a while.

    Why do you keep holding it over his head when he did the crime and already got punished for it? If we compare it to other athletes like Kobe who allegedly raped someone, Giddey who allegedly had sex with a minor and Karl Malone who def impregnated a minor and then became a deadbeat dad KPJ is a lot better because at least he got punished for his actions whereas these other players just swept it under the rug. Kobe didnt even face any backlash or lose endorsements or his image and Malone still among the NBA "greats" when really he should be in jail and should be blacklisted from the league.

    KPJ is a good talent but I doubt he is borderline superstar, he is good at putting numbers on a bad, mediocre team.

    Without Giannis, there is less structure.......

    We have seen that a lot under Silas.

    I wish Cam the best, the Wizards are bad with or without him.

    I think he was sorta broke, so we'd be shown his best side......

    The problem I have with this argument, as somebody who generally wants to believe women about things like this, is that there's a massive monetary incentive for her to lie about this, and we have video evidence of his violent actions in this instance from security cameras in the hotel, and we have prior examples of his inability to control his temper resulting in violent actions (throwing hot soup at somebody is legitimately dangerous). I don't know how severe his actions actually were in the moment, but I think it's very clear that he's a violent person with serious impulse control and anger problems.

    As far as the stuff about other players doing horrible things, yeah, they suck too (or sucked in Kobe's case), and no, I don't think the NBA should lionize them just because they were great at basketball.

    In this situation the woman will ALWAYS defend the guy, i don't think we have seen a single instance in sports where there was a DV issue and the woman didn't defend the guy. Has that literally even happened once? Maybe at one point with Tyreke Hill after he attacked their child but i think even that nothing happened. We all saw the ray rice video, and she defended him and even blamed herself, it's just how it works.

    Super effort by the wiz, if only coach would have put cam in… so little patience, so little faith.

    My point is he already admitted his guilt, got sentenced by the court of law and paid for his crimes both monetary, physically and mentally. Obv his GF already forgave him she pleaded and defended him in court. How long will we keep it over his head?

    Everybody says they shouldnt lionize these other players but thats not the reality. Malone is still considered top 10 goat PF and lots of people have Kobe over Lebron. Malone literally walking free RN. Reality is they had no consequences for their actions so I find this continued disparaging of. KPJ unfair. Like the dude who already paid for his crime is the guy who always gets slammed for DV.

    Hell even MJ is a big bully and would be canceled in todays NBA for assault and all the nasty **** he did but he still the goat for a lot of people lmao.

    Theres lots of cases for example Money mayweather, Chris Brown (although Rihanna forgave him initially) and that Kang dude in Marvel.

    Nah. Got to throw in Reed and take back a bad contract to maybe get their interest.

    the victims didnt defend them they settled.

    KPJ is one of the few instances where the victim defended them and he plead guilty and got his sentence. In other cases they would just settle out of court and drop the case.

    KPJ plays a terrible brand of basketball, low IQ, and hasn't shown enough improvement to warrant still pining for him from some Rockets fans.

    You understand domestic violence victims don't always talk for a variety of reasons. He doesn't deserve anything. He's a scumbag.

    I hold it I ver his head because I don't forgive people who beat up a woman. Don't know why you do. You literally saw a video. If you think that's the worst you did you're very naive

    Kobe is dead. No point in discussing him. Malone is a huge piece of trash. I don't dispute that. So is KPJ though
