    Ah. It looked pretty intentional to me, basically throwing the ladder aside. Whether or not he wanted it to stay upright doesn't really have any impact on weighing his actions, IMO.

    Think I might change my vote to Cleveland. I think they have been impressive the last two seasons.

    I think the most “surprising” team isn’t actually listed…

    I’m thinking the Kings.

    Not sure that's a good response by Giannis. Does his "right" to work on his skills supersede the jobs that the people have there?

    I mean, I get that the players will work on their games after hours, but it's not their "right" to do it. And even if it was his "right", it's not like it was his home, or his reaction was a calm and rationale one. He acted immature, like a baby.

    That was completely out of character from what we know of him. At least, the character we've been led to believe.
