    What did I spell incorrectly? Douche is spelled right and in this case, it means "an obnoxious or contemptible person (typically used of a man)."

    Being an asshole to people can hurt their feelings.

    He basically called himself a douche and said that's the real him.

    How did LeBron run Kyrie out of town? LeBron was upset when he left. LeBron, Wade, and Bosh came together to build something from the ground up. LeBron didn't just run off and join the Celtics. Big difference.

    Being a sensitive baby is being yourself for some people. Honesty is the best policy all around.

    I had a friend that had barely started dating a girl and he was already farting and sitting around drinking beer in front of her. Why?

    He said he wanted her to know what she was in for.....they were married 15 years last I saw him.

    Yes...if you're a douche, it's best to be honest about the fact that you're a douche.

    However, I humbly submit that it's even better still to simply...not be a douche.

    I'm ok with that. But I'd rather have honest douches running around than phonies.

    I'll take the douche who is All-NBA, first ballot HOF, perennial All Star who backs everything up vs our own resident douche who waves towels at the end of the bench and posts shirtless pics of himself across social media on a weekly basis any day

    LeBron made super teams, he did not join already constructed ones.

    I understand what you’re saying - I really do. There have been plenty of Blazers throughout the years I thought we’re real pieces of work though. I may cheer for them while they’re on the court because they don the right jersey’s.
    Plenty of guys that have come through I didn’t like though. So it’s not like if he has chose the Blazers and then acted this way I’d by default just love him to pieces.
    Heck I think it sucks for competitive balance what he did going to GS, but there has been ample opportunity for him to not act like a complete dunce towards anyone and everyone who didn’t like his decision, that would at least lessen the negative feelings I got for him, but he continues to double down on it, and then proclaim this is the real me. Well the real him seems like a pretty unpleasant piece of work, so Blazer or not I’d probably have the same reaction to him.

    Wait, people are busting Durant's chops over coat tail riding to a championship because it makes it look like he lacks the guts to compete? And it's hurting his feelings and pissing him off? And it's unfair?

    Tough. Shit.
