Lillard is one of my favs and seems like a good, down to earth dude, but I remember he had an incident over the summer with fans trying to take his picture or something. Let's not canonize him just yet.

Nash was already on a steady decline before he got to L.A., but Lillard did snuff out whatever career Nash had remaining. It was obviously unintentional.

He was a bad fit under Mike Brown, and unfortunately he's never been healthy since Dantoni came aboard. Losing those picks hurts for sure.

He really didn't need to apologize.

Yeah--can't really blame Nash either for picking LAL. What they had in place even before getting Dwight seemed to be a contender. Sucks for him.

He's so full of ****.

See how he treated the fans in Houston last year, innocent little kids. He tries to be too good in front of people, go on twitter to recognize some folks, etc. The two times I've seen him-- he's been unnecessarily rude to folks a third his age and even double his age.

He's not classy at all, he's just a scumbag. He likes to compare his life to the song by Drake-- Started from the Bottom. That just says it all.


Care to explain why? Because it's Drake? He wasn't offered a scholarship by any big time school, went to a tiny school in Utah and went on to be a Top 10 pick and Rookie of the Year. How is calling someone a rags to riches story and saying they "started from the bottom now they're here" any different?


No, I mean he likes to DISPLAY how humble he is. Dude's not, don't bull. He's a jerk just like most athletes.

He barely even played for Mike. It's unfair to say that, we don't know how he would've fared.
