    I used to think it was harder for bigs to get endorsements but then you've got guys like Dwight Howard and Blake griffin. Aldridge just isn't approachable. He doesn't put himself out there like dame does.

    So Pat Riley teaches LaNarcus the true meaning of teamwork and sacrifice, and he still leaves us for San Antonio.

    If you aren't pissed off by this article, fired up to see him lose tonight, you don't have a pulse.

    Is ask him what his plans are going forward because he'd probably tell me to fuck off for dwelling on the past.

    Like him or not, Jason Quick has been all over the LA situation today more so than anyone else I've seen. Good stuff.

    Yup. I only find him 99.9% insufferable today.

    That reminds me of a quote from Casino Royale.

    "Just because someone is dead, doesn't mean they can't be helpful."

    Because he actually was one of the best players we've ever had? Because of the Rockets series? Because he holds the franchise records in a number of categories? Because he did nothing but get better and better through hard work despite being overshadowed by players who ended up not doing much for us?

    So he was oversensitive and a little petty. If fans booed him they'd be oversensitive and a LOT petty.

    lol. no. He holds grudges on people that are years removed from the team and the league and continues to put his foot in his mouth.

    What's the golden rule? "Treat others the way you want to be treated." So, to that, I say he deserves to get booed. He hasn't done anything to not deserve it in the last year. And yes, hows he acted as a person far outweighs petty stats that were garnered through me-first, ISO plays and ill-advised shots to up his stats.

    Oh shit, he's Kevin Love.

    If anything, all this does is convince the morons who were actually going to cheer for him tonight to boo his ass.

    Thanks, Woj.

    PS, kiss and make up with KP already, you dick. Can't believe this guy still shits on him.

    "Eventually, it becomes a road in your career, whether you have to decide whether you want to keep having these crazy stats, or do you want to win a championship?"

    He did have crazy stats... 20.6 FGA per game

    Because he actually was one of the best players we've ever had? In terms of Regular Season stats, yes he was quite the compiler. A PF finally catching a SG in Rebounding....amazing!

    Because of the Rockets series? Great 1st 2 games...has shot a combined <40% for every playoff game since. So 2 good ones and a lot of stinkers.

    Because he holds the franchise records in a number of categories? Very Jay Cutler like who is now the franchise record holder for most everything QB Bears....and yet probably isn't Top-5 in terms of actual Greatness.

    Because he did nothing but get better and better through hard work despite being overshadowed by players who ended up not doing much for us? He also did a lot of whining and complaining behind closed doors about Brandon Roy, Gred Oden and Damian Lillard and took his ball and went home to ride coat tails of a true Great.

    If it's okay to cheer, it's okay to boo.

    Talk about a "last straw."

    I will not watch the game tonight. If the fans cheer this jackass, I may have a violent mental breakdown.

    Of course the real reason LA hated Dame, which Canzano will detail tomorrow, is because Dame once asked the caterers for beef instead of pork in the tacos on the plane.
