@HerencicMi75305@redrock_bball Agreed here .. as much as there are some folks who want to move on to the new gen of players, just like twitter.. I mean X.. Curry, Kd and Bron are still the main draw and megastars media wise in all markets
Russell Westbrook reportedly grew tired of LeBron’s “fake” behavior during their time in L.A, per @YaronWeitzman
“I hate that fake sh*t, I just can’t do it.” 😳
• LeBron quietly pushed for a reunion with Kyrie Irving — a move that would’ve required trading Westbrook, despite publicly denying it.
• LeBron often said “Let Russ be Russ” in interviews but didn’t actually support him behind the scenes.
• During a Lakers team event where Will Smith came to speak, LeBron and AD suddenly walked out before he arrived. Minutes later, they returned acting overly friendly—LeBron dominated the talk, asking questions and quoting movie lines.
Westbrook, watching in disbelief, told a teammate after:
“I hate that fake sh*t. I just can’t do it.”
• Westbrook saw multiple examples of LeBron misrepresenting himself — like claiming The Godfather was his favorite movie but not knowing a single line, carrying The Autobiography of Malcolm X to interviews without being able to discuss it, and even saying he predicted Kobe’s 81-point game. These moments made Russ view LeBron as inauthentic.

@TheBBallSage I see this in youth basketball all the time. Kids who think if they score 20 or 30, they'd get all the props. It's ego, the impatience of youth and while you can teach patience, it's tough when your ego get's in the way
The Denver Nuggets ownership is hoping that the firings of Michael Malone and Calvin Booth will give the team a ‘jolt’ to make a run in the playoffs, per @NotoriousOHM
@dalton_trigg Klay will forever be a legend.. that said, his ego couldn’t handle his body’s decline and he probably thought he’d be a 2nd option in Dallas .. so you reap what you sow
