>Look at the nfl and nhl. You can predictably know which team most superstars will be playing for the following season, because the players collectively aren’t a bunch of divas. There’s much more loyalty.
As far as the NFL goes, there's definitely no shortage of divas. I dont know about the NBA but the NFL just has strong mechanisms to keep players if you want to

There's a very short list of Hall of Fame level players with no rings. CP3 will undoubtedly be near the top of that list with Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, and Malone, and he's not nearly the piece of shit Malone is.

I left that out because that was after the "Big 3" in Miami, AND included Kyrie/Kevin Love who were both superstars in their own right. His second stint in Cleveland is also widely considered a "super team". His start at Cleveland, however, was JUST him, with no debate around it.

Always wished Westbrook, harden and KD all stayed in OKC. Truly believe they could have won multiple championships

Fuck CP3. I hope that nut punching flopper never even gets a ring in his cracker jacks and only gets shitty temporary tattoos of C Level he-man villains. No Skeletor, No Hordak, Hell not even Beast-Man. I mean only Stinkor and below

and that's kind of the reason why most scholars are against capital punishment. You can't take it back once you kill someone.
In theory, in a perfect world where you can be 100% certain of guilt, I don't have a problem with capital punishment, but we do not live in that world, and as such, I have to be against capital punishment.

Lebron didn't just make finals appearances with Cleveland, he won them a championship during his second stint. Against one of the greatest NBA dynasties of modern times. That city hand't had a 'ship in any sport for decades.

>believing you are covered, then discovering it's useless.
i can believe that i'm a snake whisperer. it doesn't mean it's true.
>If your employer had you paying into a health care plan then you later discovered it was smoke and mirrors, you would be screwed, yes. How in the world would that be your fault?
my brother in christ, I do pay into my employers health care plan and it is smoke and mirrors. this isn't me being screwed or anything. this is me living in America where health insurance is a profit driven business. Also, my employer health care plan doesn't cover me once I'm no longer employed by them.
there are no victims. this is the system that we live by in the US. i'm not sure if you're here or what, but we aren't the victims. we vote for the people who design these laws. there were major presidential candidates (well, one) that ran on universal healthcare, and the US overwhelmingly voted for the guy who specifically said he would VETO any universal healthcare bill. this is the system, by design, not a surprise.
you're acting like you see an advertisement that says "Best pizza on the planet!" and feel screwed when it's, shockingly, not the best pizza you have ever tasted. saying stuff like your health matters to us and blah blah is marketing - ie smoke and mirrors, and yes, that is how the US health system is run... if you believe everything you read in an advertisement, you are going to have a bad time here.

In Phoenix's defense, Milwaukee only has 1 more 2021 NBA title than they do

When LeBron whips his cock out at fellow heads of state and has to get pants specially tailored to accommodate his monster hog, then he can take sole ownership of LBJ

None of those examples you gave compare to paying for health insurance and believing you are covered, then discovering it's useless. This one is closest:
> i guess i just don't see it as getting screwed because they are participating in the system and they know how the system works. if i go to a car dealership and the guy blows a bunch of fluff up my ass and i overpay, did i get screwed? or did i participate in an activity that is designed to exploit me for my resources?
If your employer had you paying into a health care plan then you later discovered it was smoke and mirrors, you would be screwed, yes. How in the world would that be your fault?
You're blaming the victims.

i guess we're not disagreeing then we're just talking in circles on something we agree about.
>You don't have sympathy for them, okay, fine. Does that mean they should get screwed by the NFL plan that they thought provided them coverage? No, of course not.
i guess i just don't see it as getting screwed because they are participating in the system and they know how the system works. if i go to a car dealership and the guy blows a bunch of fluff up my ass and i overpay, did i get screwed? or did i participate in an activity that is designed to exploit me for my resources?
if i go play roulette and put all of my life savings on 00 and it hits any other number, did I get screwed? if i go kick a venomous snake and get bit, screwed? if i go drink and drive and get pulled over, did i get screwed?
did anyone put a gun to these guys heads and force them to playing the NFL? because maybe i'm missing that part.

KD might have a huge ego but the guy can hoop. It's really all he cares about. KD doesn't want to lead or deal with the media or owners etc etc. He just wants to ball. From a scoring perspective he's one of the best in the league.
