    "It isn't true anymore that Davis is injury prone"
    :rolleyes:

    I would wish get well soon, but since he is a Laker now, take your time.

    Glad he’s not seriously injured, but he has quickly become one of my least favorite players in the league.

    Media bends over backwards to avoid any sort of criticism and anoint him the next best player in the NBA despite no team success, no real individual accolades, and completely quitting on his team last year.

    really now?
    How?
    Your least favourite player in the league is a person we know nothing much about and seems to have the charisma of a brick?

    I just explained to you why I don’t like him

    Anybody who quits on his team the way he did sucks. I’d say that about anybody, but he’s one of the few who actually took it to that level.

    Players the media makes us hate after not hating them prior to media forcing them down our throats: Giannis, Curry, Westbrook, AD.

    I will also include the Utah Jazz and Portland Trailblazers, but we have always hated them with out the Media

    But AD did quit on his team.

    Difference between AD and the rest of those guys is the others actually won MVP and had real team success. AD has coasted by with no criticism despite being a complete dud in terms of winning.

    I have no problem with Giannis. I don’t like his out of control bulldozer to the hoop style of play because a lot of the fouls he gets should be charges, but it’s not his fault the league allows him to do it.

    Curry, Westbrook, and Davis on the other hand have actively done things to annoy me, regardless of media coverage. The mouth piece and annoying antics, the triple double seeking at the expense of his team mates and wins, and the quitting on the team thing would stop me from being a fan of any player if I heard about it.

    Kawhi took it to more extreme level , at least Davis didn't refuse to play, but you don't hate him?

    How about Iggy now that he even refuses to come to camp?
    Kyrie ? who some said tanked the POs and had some very interesting comments saying he should have shot even more?
    Paul George when he did the same with Indiana?

    I can understand and I agree that AD has done some very off putting things lately but I can't see how he can be your least favourite player because he is just too bland, and he has had more decency about his shenanigans than others have had recently.

    Anyway to each his own.

    1) Kawhi did it too. I said he completely sucks back when that happened too. At least that dude won some stuff with San Antonio before quitting on them.

    2) Iggy? lmao. Come on. Not even close to comparable situations

    3) Kyrie quit on Cleveland and I said that sucked at the time. His Boston situation was clearly a bad fit but at he played out his obligation for them and moved on. No issue there.

    4) Paul George didn’t tank his teams season and quit mid-season. He informed them of his wishes and they obliged. He didn’t completely quit on them though.

    AD’s was the most blatant form of “I’m quitting on this team and send me where I want to go but also pay me everything I am owed in my contract”. It’s really not even close.
