Popovich started the DNPs and it wasn't his players that asked for it. It was him and the franchise realizing that regular season games simply aren't that important for a contender.

AD didn't refuse to play. The organization refused to play him. He did force their hand but they came out of it better in the end.

PG didn't publicly announce anything. That was a surprise to most when it happened when PG a year earlier decided to stay in OKC.

Kyrie I believe is mentally challenged. Not joking I believe there are issues there.

Harden has given a lot of years to the Rockets. I agree it bush league to show up fat and out of shape when they have paid him extremely well. He is leaving a pretty big market so I feel less bad about it.
