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

or think about them. That goes for rich, poor, and everyone in between. We use money and possessions to validate people’s worth but it really has little correlation to the quality of their character in my experience.

Just be nice. It’s really a great way to live. At least, that’s what I got from what Jesus said.

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?

Yeah, and I'd feel for a collegiate athlete being embarassed a lot more than a

That’s fair.

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

It’s called empathy.

Luckily, Lebron came to Spida's aid.

What did lebron do?

Tweeted in support of Don

So did KD

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

1/22/21 11:42pm

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.

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.

1/23/21 8:16am

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

Belboz

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

He’s gotten past the first round before

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

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

1/23/21 1:57pm

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.

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.

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

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

1/23/21 1:44pm

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

It was three As, but I shouldn't nitpick about 40 year-old commercials

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

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.

1/23/21 10:19am

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

1/23/21 10:19am

Now I want to know what hapened.

1/23/21 11:20am
