I called players. In particular Blazer players that have threads about them that are negative. I also added a coach and a GM for good measure because there are many. The point remains the same. You do not have to go to another Team's forum to find this. Though all of them have the very same type of threads and comments.
If you were in the NBA, wouldn’t you be curious about what the official Blazers board was saying about you? And if one of the threads on the front page said you were garbage, wouldn’t you be hurt? These are people guys! And checking out a forum on your phone doesn’t take much time or effort. Tell me you wouldn’t be curious.
I dunno, I think some guys dont care, some guys read all the twitter and social media stuff, talk a big game how they dont care and then care a lot, I give you Kevin Durant...
1.) You think he knows what the "official forum" is? 2.) Why does the opinions of the "official forum" matter more than any other Blazers forum? 3.) They can find thousands of Tweets about them on Twitter, a platform they actually use. 4.) They aren't going to make a career and life move because of a mixed bag of opinions. 5.) They're also not going to care about a guy that's not even on this continent who doesn't like him and wants Greg Oden back. 6.) You've told me before that if you care about the bad things someone says about you, then that means you're worried they might be true. By that logic, if Kanter is confident in his basketball ability, he wouldn't care about the bad things fans have to say about him. I think Kanter's a pretty confident individual, considering how he's become an activist against his home country's regime.
Maybe he's not used to the harsh realities of hardcore blazer maniacs. He's probably grown soft, being more used to the kinder, gentler, NY media and fans.
KD is a Mental Midget, how insecure do you have to be to be a Top 5 player in the NBA yet still argue with fans that talk shit on Twitter? I’m actually starting to be ok with picking Oden over him. At least it saved me years of defending what a douche bag he is to my friends that would have been rubbing that in my face.
