the guy who donates tons of money to charity through a foundation he himself started, who stayed loyal to a team that was worst in the league for years when so many other young players jumped ship is somehow a low character guy. excellent analysis.


Literally 100% of the stars signed their first max with their team in NBA history (since that CBA rule). Just wanted to point that out, otherwise I don't really have a problem with anything you said, he could be be a good dude off the court, although I'm not sure why would anyone want the whole Kardashian thing in their life.


Booker signed the extension in 2018. he could have easily pushed his way out in either 2018-2019 or 2019-2020, but he didn't. By the way, out of the lottery picks from 2015, KAT is the only other star still with his original team, and at least he got to go to the playoffs early in his career.

The Kardashian thing is a reasonable knock, but so far Kendall seems to be the least objectionable Jenner.

Turner is still on the pacers. The other dudes from that draft that are still in the league got shipped. Only KP kinda forced his way out, so what you're talking about. Pushed his way out the 2nd year of his rookie extension, sounds reasonable. It's ok to defend your guy but don't make **** up to make him look better.

So..... After two nights to reflect. Does Doncic double down and come out heavy with the complaining? Or stop the whining now that he has been publicly called out and laughed at?

Will be something extra to keep an eye on.

Turner is not what I would call a Star. Neither is KP but that's another story. My point was only in response to the other person saying guys tend to stay through their first extensions, which clearly isn't true.

The best answer would be scoring 71 and take Booker record away. :D

phx was there last year so you know what,,,,booker has the right. and then luka has to push back with a great game. that's the way it's done in sports.

what i didn't like was the wolves/grizz series wherein NEITHER had the right to say jack but more especially kat and his wolves who have proven over several generations to be a bunch of really stupid players,, their voice of course being the clown of all clowns - beverly

As long as it's Suns win I won't care. ;)

I knew this will become a rivalry four years ago when we used to argue with you all day. :lol:

Are you going to continue to ignore the question asked to you a few times?

That's because KAT is the ONLY other star from 2015 draft...

I never understood the not complaining part, as refs are perfect?? So a ref missed a call and I'm not supposed to react to that. If you don't react then they think it's not a call, then when it happens again b/c it wasn't called the 1st time, then what???

The NBA has the worst refs of all the major sport leagues...

Flopping and complaining are two different things and Luka isn't even close as to the worst flopper in the league.

Smart Bev and Dillion Brooks are floppers

If you don’t have any material to back up your claim, just say so.

What off the court antics make DB a low character guy?

KP was still considered a star when he pulled his **** to get out of NY. In fact he made the allstar two a full two years before Booker ever did.

his off the court "antics" include:

- donating more than $2.5 million to local charities
- starting his own foundation
- grants for causes such as leukemia and lymphoma society, autism research, and more
- 2021 Community Assist Award winner
- Global ambassador for the Special Olympics

so again, care to tell me about how terrible this guy is in your mind.

I mean you're allowed to have your opinion, even if it's not based in reality and completely wrong. It's still your opinion.
