Wow, you LMA haters suck

[BlazerBeav]

LMA just said the reason he didn't play for Team USA is that he stayed home to be with his mother while she was fighting breast cancer. Nice.

 

[HailBlazers]

Great Interview, LMA's the man

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

That really doesnt change the fact that he's a pussy on the floor

 

[hasoos]

So let me get this right, because this is the first time LA has even mentioned the actual reason he missed the national team this summer, they (incluiding me) suck? Ha ha ha ok whatever. Maybe if he had said that from the start, the fans would be much more understanding, and maybe if he had actually improved over his first 3 years in the league, fans wouldn't be yearning for him to do anything to improve that they question his work ethic.

 

[Natebishop3]

Because we all knew that?

 

[Wheels]

whether or not he improved. What he talked about goes way Way WAY beyond the game of Basketball. But yes it does make the people who called for his head, look like assholes.

 

[Wheels]

and I'm referring to those who flipped out over him declining to work out with team USA. As thats what the interview was directed at more.

 

[Natebishop3]

Shut up Wheels! Get in your corner!

I'll pick agility and ability over brawn and brainless any-day. You people that compare him to a traditional 4 are ridiculous

I'm just curious... what would be your definition of a traditional four? I think that term has evolved many times in the last three or four decades.

No it doesn't.

 

[THE HCP]

No it doesn't.

Yes it does! People should get all the info BEFORE they toss out hate the way people do around here!

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Yes it does! People should get all the info BEFORE they toss out hate the way people do around here!

No it doesn't.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Yes it does! People should get all the info BEFORE they toss out hate the way people do around here!

I agree wholeheartedly, I don't understand why it's soo easy for some people to pass judgment before they have an basis whatsoever.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Yes it does! People should get all the info BEFORE they toss out hate the way people do around here!

Agreed. Especially since several posters pointed out it was most likely a family situation, although I assumed it was concerning his son he doesn't get to see often during the season.

 

[andalusian]

No it doesn't.

For anyone that said it was because he was a softie, or because he does not care - it sure does.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Yes it does! People should get all the info BEFORE they toss out hate the way people do around here!

The information wasn't available. The only way to make a logical decision is with all the available information. Had this information been available BEFORE people started hated on him, you would have a point.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

For anyone that said it was because he was a softie, or because he does not care - it sure does.

It shows that they were incorrect in their assumption but it does make them assholes. People just get overly sensitive because now you know it was because of his mom.

If you accuse someone of something without knowing the reasons, and defend it by "I just know he is a softie", or, "He just does not care" - than yes, they are assholes.

There is a difference between being wrong about assumptions and accusing people of things with no real knowledge.

Your right its evolved, I'm just tired of people hating on LMA for not being a banger when obviously his talents are elsewhere

well said my friend, repped

not really, it just goes to show further that we dont know shit about these people and their lives. Unless LMA starts dating one of the Kardashians, and is on that God forsaken show, we will continue to not know shit about their lives, and what is going on.

 

[Wheels]

I am still saddened that my wife's tv crap is merging with NBA lol.

 

[BGrantFan]

Well they didn't know the reason. Apparently ignorance excuses a person acting like a jackhole.

and for the record I'm not being sensetive on this at all. I didnt lose sleep over people flipping out, and I am not losing sleep over it now. I just think it goes to show how little we know.. compared to what we think we know.

Or perhaps, how often we think we know what is best for grown men without bothering to consider all plausible scenarios.

 

[Minstrel]

I don't think there's much logic to making a "decision" with little to no information. Especially when no "decision" is needed.

 

[BGrantFan]

I don't think there's much logic to making a "decision" with little to no information. Especially when no "decision" is needed.

Or, even worse, assume the worst/most negative scenario without information, and then treat it as fact until actual information disproves it.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Still doesn't make them assholes for calling him a softie or whatever. You all can stay on your high horse though.
