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

It's that Laker fans pretend that competition with the Jazz is fair. Would LeBron consider playing in Utah? No. Would AD throw a small-market team under the bus to play in SLC? No. Do the Jazz have to overpay their stars to keep them from leaving in free agency? Yes.

It's not a fair fight so Donovan getting the Jazz even into the playoffs is an accomplishment.

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.

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

Luckily, Lebron came to Spida's aid.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

daki

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

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

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

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...
