Kobe and Jordan never pulled the cheap shit on the court that Paul does. As I said, he's a tool.

If you're talking about on the court, cheating/bending the rules I know of a super famous shot by MJ that on replay shows him grabbing the defenders arm, and yanking it to get the defender off balance.
I'm sure if I thought hard enough on it, I could remember things Kobe did as well. Or rather David Stern.

If you're talking about the nut shots he's took over the years, yeah I agree with you. I don't remember Kobe or MJ ever doing something like that.
 
Griffin is from Oklahoma....I could see him signing there...they are shopping Kanter and young Sabonis had a disappointing rookie year there...they could use him...Westbrook and Griffin would be a pretty good duo

The context was how Paul grates on his teammates. Unless you think his cheap shots to opponents are what bother his teammates, which I sincerely doubt. ;)

To me, a person who does stuff like this would be a douche in all aspects of life.

About draft again - why did Magic virtually give #25 away for absolutely nothing? They get a top 20 protected 2020 Thunder pick which will very likely become two second round picks in 2022 and 2023, and the worse of NYK or BKN 2020 second round picks. That's terrible.

Great for 76ers to get Pasecniks. They will use Okafor in trade now.

Those guys numbers are their draft position...?
Do they have not yet decided and change it later ? Or they really made it like that ?
 
Lol fucking Denver.

I'd laugh my ass off if this happened. Their defense is absolute shit, and then they'd trade for Kevin Love.

What makes this more stupid for them is they just traded for Trey Lyles and drafted Tyler Lydon. They also have Faried and Arthur at PF, and a C they just traded for in Plumlee (who will make over $10M this year) backing up their star C in Jokic.

If I had to guess:

Emanuel Mudiay, Darrell Arthur, Jaun Hernangomez, and from DEN to IND
Love from CLE to DEN, a 2021 top 3 protected 1st from CLE to IND
George from IND to CLE
 
Can we get Denver's pro scouts? I know at least they are doing their job.

I think Denver would be sending out Gary Harris/Jamal Murray and a cap filler.
 
Stephen A. Smith (via his radio show) claims San Antonio had Kawhi on the table for Porzingis but changed their minds.

As much of a tool as Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. If Paul had won several championships, it would be called "grim, unflinching will to win." Since he's popularly conceived of as a choker (due to lack of playoff wins, despite playing well in the playoffs) he's a jerk. Both are true, as it is for a lot of guys. He wants control.

If he goes to the Spurs, I think it'll be interesting to see how his personality interacts with that of Gregg Popovich. Popovich also values control, so that could cause butted heads. On the other hand, both are meticulous and detail-driven, both are perfectionists, so that should endear them to each other.

But he hasn't won ish like you said. He's done less in his 11 years than dame in his first 5.
 
I don't think DEN will retain Plumlee, making that Nurk trade look even worse for them.
 
There's not even a slight chance that Spurs would have offered Leonard for anything. He's completely off the table.

With his lack of expression and straight face at all times, Kawhi IS the table. And all of those chairs tucked in around the table are the multiple chairs that Kawhi can guard.
