That might sting a bit but leave it alone. Perhaps Tatum did know. Out of respect, perhaps saying he did not know was his way of not insulting? Like if he said he knew then it looks he wanted him gone too. But to stay neutral its not big thing. Brown now keeps drawing attention. Best thing is just keep balling and move on and be happy. He outplayed his draft status,, is an finals MVP, and super wealthy. On tradk for a HOF career. He appears super intelligent until this petty shit keeps seeping out. Not its floated he wanted out of Boston?

The only thing I care about is he infects the Sixers locker room with Emboliida and their team implodes on themselves.

That I'm more anti-Philly than Boston is a tribute to Embiid's ability to annoy the fck out of me

I hear you. Embiid as villian no. 1 was easy. his sloppy play and lazy dangerous play has a way of drawing fans in. To some extent I was impressed the bells palsy series as he played thru it. That took grit. The whining and complaining to refs used to really bother me until i came to understand KAT was not too far behind.

There is no world where I'd ever even for a moment root for philly over knicks. Jalen Brown issues are not knick related so I really don't care what he does. As you know I do respect Lebron and if Embiid can clean up his act and play to his potential again, but not be such a douche I could see slighty pulling for Phila over say Wemby and SAS. Now if both are going to play each other like a old timey Texas cage wrestling match and both bleed out that could be fun too.
Lebron in vs. 2016 finals over the 73 win Warriors was an incredible feat. This was post Heatles which like many really got under my skin at the time. 2016 perofmance really earned my respect and over 20 years he has matured. Kobe did and if we allowed him some grace over his arrogance and rape, we can with Lebron and his. No rape. Married to his HS sweethart, no dramas, and raised his kids. Othter than the awful "decision" I can't find too much to hate him for off the court.

The number of week 1 injuries is crazy.

To be fair to Kobe, the rape accusation did not hold up in court. I want every woman to get justice if that is done to them, but it also one of the easier accusations to make without proof so you do have to rely on an imperfect justice system to sort those cases out. Since he was acquitted, I have to also give Kobe the benefit of the doubt, because he was otherwise known for working out at 4 am, not cavorting in clubs at night like other players. The Weinsteins, Cosbys, Epsteins and Trumps of this world with dozens of accounts of sexual account solidifies their reputations as rapists which is quite different.

I didn’t see your comment at first, and I was going to reply simply “A legend.”

It’s appropriate to double up the legend comment, he was that good. Plus he had to deal with Chuckles all those years
