Kawhi not playing in Paris...let's be honest 🤣

[@John-PaulHunt-wy7lf]

sooo close fox sports radio as the evil empire is in Paris in the Olympics.

[@JuanTorres-hv5ig]

Embiid & Kawhi should bypass the Olympics due to health issues

[@mrgetitdone85]

Replace them with PG and JJJ

[@user-mh6yh3lh8w]

2 guys that constantly sit out due to health issues should sit out due to health issues... this checks out

[@scruffd0g193]

The thing is team us needs embiid. He’s their best big man. Don’t really kawhi, we have enough wings.

[@AnonymousUser-ss2qr]

Replace them with Kyrie and Chet

[@corpyhogan4433]

Yes, and no. I agree. Their health is a concern but it's not like they'll be playing 20 minutes.

You the MVP 🏆

[@MyHandle4455]

Lebron just needs to let his son’s career unfold on its own. I understand a father wanting to his son the keys to the kingdom, but he needs to forge his own legacy.

[@Leflopsux]

Bronny should be playing a some D3 community college

[@blablablaa14]

Bronny is just another achievement for Lebron. He doesn't care about his career, he cares about making Lebron look "greater". Its all about Lebron for Lebron. Otherwise he'd be honest with his son and let him not play basketball cause he aint an NBA player

[@MarzDrrrop]

@@blablablaa14 you his therapist? pretty confident psycho analysis. sounds personal.

[@blablablaa14]

@@MarzDrrrop Its been obvious his entire career Lebron only cares about Lebron. No need for psycho analysis, when people tell you who they are for 2 decades

[@MarzDrrrop]

@@blablablaa14 sounds like that what you so badly want him to be, to justify some weird hatred. What has he done other than improve the lives of others around him, within his circles and whatever community he's in? He's changed economies for cities like Cleveland. Give an example of him being exceptionally selfish or hurting others in his pursuit? How is he different than Kobe, Jordan, and anyone who's reached those heights? Why do you want him to be a bad person? You can just not like the guy for whatever reason without completely making up Psychological assessments around the man's personal motivations and that he doesn't even care about his kids?

[@sandworld1432]

What is the point of keeping Warriors team together? I am a warriors fan BTW. The ceiling of this team is second round if everyone is healthy. Is it what they want?

[@juliuscaesar6994]

@@davidjb7489 no need to get into it too deep.. Bron being overrated have nothing to do with his stats at face value brother👍.. it's the team hopping, joining a winner to be a winner, flopping, crybaby antics etc.. great player great career though for what it is

[@user-mh6yh3lh8w]

@@davidjb7489 ... First & foremost... I am entitled to my opinion... Secondly... LeBron has been in the league for 20 years... he hasn't put the work in to develop a jump shot... he is average... he has absolutely no post game after 2 decades in the league... his defense... especially in the latter half decade... has become a verifiable liability to any team he plays for... He's an embarrassment to the game of basketball... and possibly the best example of wasting pure athletic talent in sports history. Putting your shoulder down and driving the lane for 20 years isn't that impressive... there are 5 Small Forwards that I would take before him if I was building a team ;-)

[@jrev8089]

Saying to foul Maxie on the 3 is typical arm- chair athlete talk. At what point could you foul the fastest player in the league, when he’s pulling up from the logo, with 10 seconds on the clock? And even if you do foul with 10 seconds, Maxey cuts the lead to 1, then sends Knicks to the line. If Knicks miss 1 free throw, Sixers now have 8 seconds to tie, or take the LEAD. Just shake his hand for making 2 unbelievable plays.

[@k3anelovesgam1ng86]

Lebron, KD, and Steph will team up. Nuggets is smart and didn't sweep the lakers, a hopeless Lebron might decide to team up with Steph or KD for his last couple of years in the NBA.

ESPN' S RULES FOR HIRING FOR NBA COVERAGE 1. NEVER HIRE A BLACK EX NBA PLAYER WHO WAS A STAR 🌟 AND/ OR IS " TOO BLACK, TOO STRONG" 2. HIRE NO TALENT NO ATHLETES LIKE BRIAN WINDHORST, STEPHEN A SMITH, 3.HIRE WHITR EX NBA PLAYERS LIKE JJ REDDICK AND TIM LEGLER 4. HIRE BLACK EX NFL PLAYERS( SHANNON SHARPE) TO CRITICIZE BLACK NBA PLAYERS
