    Why would Dame care? It’s more likely he laughed at it as well.

    Doesn’t mean I necessarily find “cum on your moms face” funny, but to me it’s nothing more than a bad joke, but still, a joke. And I’m also pretty sure it was in response to a troll, so context matters.

    Wow. Yeah, we're definitely gonna have to agree to disagree on this. Dame confronts people in hallways who make anti-gay insults to him. I highly doubt he'd find this even remotely funny.

    Yet Turner is seemingly still everyone’s favorite teammate.

    And I don’t put homophobic insults in the same category as what Turner said.

    Turner can say whatever he wants and the fan can say whatever he wants at the games within the rules of the arena.

    I can say two things about his contract. He ain't worth it and I'm insanely jealous of it and would have signed it as fast as humanly possible.

    You believe what teammates say about others in front of cameras for staged publicity moments for the arena big screen, huh?

    Homophobic insults......"cum on your mother and sisters face"........

    Yes, it's quite clear you don't put a lot of things in the same category here.

    Dog shit vs. cat shit.....it's still shit.

    I will take a look at it. Thanks @Jade Falcon.

    I would like to see the whole conversation before I pass judgement. As @Scalma said he is a known joker but my guess is he was taking serious crap from somebody and was fed up. He is not Dame though and will handle it without the sugar coating.

    9 game win streak.

    He played 18, 22, 14, 19, 22, 33, 23, 21, and 27 minutes.

    32:45 against OKC where he went 6-10/17 points.
    27:26 against GSW where he went 5-11/12 points.

    I'd rather have him than not have him.

    You're welcome.

    For the record, I don't have a problem with people confronting hecklers. I DO have a problem with people getting disgustingly personal about it. Insulting people's relatives in such a way when you are a multi-millionaire celebrity representing an organization and city that is bigger than you is not just low, but really fucking childish. At some point, you have to draw the line and be the better man.

    If it really upset him so much to be heckled by some nobody on Instagram, a simple fix would be to go out and sit in his Bentley or Ferrari and think it over before responding.

    He should just ignore that stuff entirely. It should be relatively easy, if it isn't he just needs to check his bank account more often.

    I'm not the FIRST one to come up with this but it is a proven practice that ignoring bullies takes the fun out of it for them and they'll likely stop doing it.

    This.

    Who knows......maybe I'm just overreacting about it. I guess I'm just so used to seeing Dame be the picture of Class, Respectability, and Maturity; the perfect representative for our team.

    I guess when I see someone on our team performing less than him while spouting nonsense on social media, it gets my blood boiling a little.

    :dunno:

    Dogs can NEVER be role models. They're too goddamn stupid. If they aren't tripping fat people in the 300 section of the Moda Center, they're eating their own shit.

    I absolutely understand your point. We've come a long ways from the jailblazer era and nobody wants a dick on the team. Bad boy sure. Dick no.

    The team really likes him so I am taking that into account.

    Dogs are known trippers....
