    You guys see what Cuban is doing for his former employees. Spreading out $35Million to the Mavs staff. Even the TV crew is getting cash! WOW!

    No, I think Siakiam fits in better with how they play. He gets a lot of assists and rebounds.

    This is about the most respect I've ever had for LeBron. Handled very well.

    Lebron is one of mentally toughest athletes of all time. Maybe the toughest. Actually pretty remarkable if you think about it. I don't know how he developed it etc.

    Fair, but who cares? I wouldn’t particularly be proud of punching out teammates all for the sake of people thinking I was tougher than someone else.

    Yeah. I don't have much respect for him. But this was pretty good. Definitely an asshole thing to do. But cold.

    This article is about as asinine as anything could be. Judging Scoot based on his first 17 games in the league while acknowledging that things were turning for the better and then saying that because of Scoot the grade should be an F but we got a D+ because of Toumain and Duop.

    Seriously B/R should be held to a higher standard? Scoot still has a long way to go but he's even been trending better since this article came out nearly three weeks ago.

    It just proves how being prematurely hyper critical of a 19 year old does not age well.
