Whats weird to me is that he went on a whole rant when KD went to GS saying it was the weakest move by a superstar then when they won the chip he started saying KD was the best player on the planet...I just feel in that situation both things can't be true

[@sportstalkonly1442]

He has to protect Jordan's goat status.

I felt like KD was the best or it was at least neck and neck with LeBron

they... both can be true tho...

stop, you are speaking on based on nothing, based on emotion, based on not understanding business and workplace relationships. This is the real world. He said it plenty of times on FT that he never had an issue with Max as a person, it was that they have no chemistry and dont play off each other well, you could see it time to time on FT.

If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life...

[@MuhammadBagus02]

Absolutely. Market success requires emotional maturity

[@bsquarebuilding]

The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional
