Samsonite Intervention Needed

professional athlete making tens of millions of dollars to play a game. Was it mean-spirited treatment from Shaq? Sure, maybe. But NBD really.

I felt legit bad for Donovan last night. He’s 24 years old and one of the most

Shaq is a total fool. I lost a lot of respect for him last night.

What did you respect about him previously?

Me too. But at the same time time I feel like he has gained enough respect from

You realize this is a board largely about intercollegiate sports right?

That’s fair.

macdizzle

1/22/21 11:42pm

So, the fact that he makes a lot of money makes it ok to disrespect him.

Luckily, Lebron came to Spida's aid.

What did lebron do?

Tweeted in support of Don

That was a bad look for Shaq and I bet he apologizes.

The whole narrative Kenny, Chuck, Shaq and Ernie were pushing was ridiculous.

Doing everything they can to ensure this is Spida's last contract w Utah.

I’d love to see don just walk off the court post game next time he goes off while playing on TNT.

I know I’m in the minority. But everyone is getting worked up over nothing.

It's all entertainment. Shaq gets paid to drive clicks and controversy and

Not TNT. Game free since 2020

TNT

1/23/21 12:31am

During half time Shaq said Don is a 3rd option on a team with championship aspirations. This was among other slights.

Probable Sacko

1/23/21 12:39am

This seems very obvious to me too.

eysikal

1/23/21 5:44am

It was disrespectful. And awkward. And the TNT guys need to apologize.

Turnpike Lane

the media criticizes athletes. I think the overreaction is weird too.

shaq's a clown. Donovan will just use this as fuel.

To get past the 1st round??

LakeshowCougs

1/23/21 7:02am

He’s gotten past the first round before

Nuke

1/23/21 8:59am

which is the same amount of times as the Lakers in the same time period

ochobeeguy

1/23/21 9:19am

With just one major difference 🤔

LakeshowCougs

1/23/21 9:29am

I know. He has done it once

LakeshowCougs

1/23/21 9:30am

You act like he’s been in the league for 10+ years

Nuke

1/23/21 11:25am

It’s not so much him. In the West getting into the 2nd is good. It was more of

LakeshowCougs

1/23/21 11:33am

The league isn't fair. It's demonstrably more difficult for the Jazz to build

AD did that LBJ didn’t, was a free agent chose the Lakers. Maybe give players

LakeshowCougs

1/23/21 11:39am

Oh yeah, just change the weather and the culture. Sounds easy.

daki

1/23/21 12:45pm

Well don’t complain about players not wanting to play there then

LakeshowCougs

1/23/21 1:00pm

I'm just pointing out that you're cheering for a team that has a massive

daki

And that is the Lakers fault? I lived in Utah & lived in LA. Both are great.

LakeshowCougs

1/23/21 2:06pm

Somewhere you missed the point of the argument. If I'm sensitive about anything,

I agree it’s an accomplishment. I also acknowledge this being a reason the Jazz

Lakers fan = Ute fan. I'm trying to find a difference.

ochobeeguy

More like Jazz fan = Ute fan. What dumb post

It was a fair question

He's proven he works his butt off far more than his accuser EVER did.

SinkingQuffa

This non-jazz fan just became one today out of respect for Mitchell.

juantoad

1/23/21 3:04am

He makes millions. If thats toughest part of job, Im sure he sleeps fine at nite

zerome4sooners

1/23/21 4:40am

He should. That's for sure.

SinkingQuffa

1/23/21 4:47am

I’m sure he does but just because someone makes a lot of money doesn’t mean it’s ok to be a jerk to them

Nuke

1/23/21 9:00am

Agree. More of an indictment of Shaq vice sad story for Donovan

zerome4sooners

Dad, dad I got 2 A's! How many times do I have to tell you not to slam the door!

Is he required to speak to them? If they play on TNT, is there some NBA

Yes, there are agreements. It’s the genesis of marshawn Lynch’s “ I’m only here

How many millions does he make? I think he'll be okay.

How much money someone makes should be irrelevant to how you treat them

Meh. It will serve to his favor as motivation and help him in the end. And...

1/23/21 9:11am

Yep. I feel so bad for all NBA players. So oppressed.

Gerald-DeGroot

I think Shaq was trying to say it to his face and not behind his back...
