HHMMMMM. Now that you mention it, it does sound gay. I was trying to pull a little "can of whup a$$" routine. Guess you know why I don't list comedian in my occupation profile.
^^^^ this. I remind myself that everyone makes a bad choice here and there. But with CP, despite the level at which he is able to play, this single episode speaks volumes to me about his character. He wants to win at any cost, and has no honor. It is not surprising he's such a flopper/complainer. Will to win is a necessity to compete, but I can't respect the way he does it.
You make a good point, but to me this would be an asterisk to a player like Deron Williams or Brandon Roy. If it was just one incident and then the rest of the career is pretty straight up(Like DWill and Roy) I think folks are more likely to let it slide.
cp3 - talented, but dirty. the incident in college is not an isolated one, see what he did to landry after getting his shot blocked. i've got no respect for him. also, tough ones don't flop that much. west - a typical non-star who made it to the all star squad. dirty, too. the hornets are really a 2-man team. naturally the team reflects the persona of cp3 and west on the floor. wonnabes. we exposed them both last and this year.
Two words: Byron Scott. IMO, it's matter of time he is going lose his team again as he did in NJ. His hard line approach is very taxing on his players.
