Stop snitching.Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James violated protocol by attending event, NBA says
How does a lifetime Laker fan get "destroyed" by a fake ass wannabe Laker franchise hyped on colorism? "Getcha" weight up.

Its not our generation bruh
We gotta just accept this is THEIR normal.
But Lebron and myself are around the same age and.....nvm
The LA Lakers are the greatest franchise in pro sports history. So many great talents have been in the Purple & Gold, from Magic, Wilt, Kareem, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Kobe Bean, Michael Cooper, Bob McAdoo, Big Game James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Big Shot Bob Horry, Pretty Ricky Fox, Shaquille O'Neal, and now LeBron. I never really understood and appreciated the greatness til this year after winning a chip and being in the club. I want to see Bron win that 18th chip for the true die hard fans of the Lakers. Lake Show baby, Kings of the West Coast.
but what Lebron gotta do with what Ja Morant wrote?
@largebillsonlyplease what’s the consensus on Kerr out there in the Bay Area? You’ve obviously seen and been pointing out the deficiencies for the longest time, but is Kerr still being given a pass by the casual fan? Is he untouchable or does a large portion of fan base know what’s up?Golden State Warriors' season 'something to build on,' Steve Kerr says
CO -- After the Golden State Warriors failed to qualify for the postseason for the second consecutive season, forward Draymond Green acknowledged that the organization is "a ways away" from getting back into title contention.
"We're not in the playoffs, so we're a ways away," Green said after a disappointing 117-112 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night in the final play-in game for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. "I may go to Mexico or something [Saturday], but that's not a gym. That's not to an arena. That's not flying to Utah, so we got a ways to go because we're not in the playoffs -- so we're far away. Because in order to win a championship, you got to be in the playoffs. So we're clearly a ways away -- a few tweaks here and there, and we're not that far. But right now we're a ways away because we're not in the playoffs."
The Warriors, who beat the Grizzlies in the regular-season finale last Sunday to finish eighth in the West standings heading into the play-in tournament, had two chances to clinch a postseason berth. But they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 103-100 in the first play-in game and then lost to the Grizzlies on Friday, totaling 41 turnovers in the process.
"Obviously a crushing way to go out," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "Two straight games that were basically gut punches. We felt like we had control of the game the other night and lost and then really didn't have the control of this one but could have won. We had the last shot in regulation. The ball just didn't go our way, but we've had a lot of great breaks over here over the years and a lot of bad ones the last couple years, with injuries especially. All in all you have to look at this season as a success and something to build on."
One of the reasons missing the playoffs stings so much for the Warriors is that star guard Stephen Curry played so well all season, including winning the scoring title while averaging 32 points per game.
Curry had 39 points on 13-of-28 shooting Friday but also coughed up seven of the Warriors' 21 turnovers. He made no excuses about his performance, echoing Kerr's sentiments that he was proud of what his team accomplished despite the loss.
"This is very unfamiliar territory obviously with the play-in, this being the end of the season," Kerr said. "A very tough way to end it with these last two games coming down to the wire and us giving it everything we had in the tank. I'm proud of every single person in the Oakland uniform tonight, all season. From 15 wins last year, injuries and all that, to what we made out of this year -- it's pretty damn impressive.
"It's a very tough way to go out, and we would love to be playing on Sunday, but you can't lose sight of the big picture in terms of where people had us at the beginning of the season."
Curry said he still hadn't made a decision on whether to compete for Team USA during the Tokyo Olympics later this summer. He also made it clear that the abrupt ending to the Warriors' season wouldn't impact his decision.
"Obviously everything was geared towards extending this season as far as possible," Curry said. "I'm trying to gather as much information and make the right decision for me at the end of the day. It's still kind of a quick turnaround no matter how you look at it, considering we've been grinding every day, every other day for the last five months, six months almost."
The good news for the Warriors is that veteran guard Klay Thompson is expected to return at some point early next season as he continues to recover from an Achilles injury. After Thompson missed last season because of an ACL injury, the Warriors are hoping the former All-Star can give them the boost they've been missing.
"He's a part of our DNA ," Curry said. "And he is a huge part of our championship DNA and what we're about. You saw him tonight. He was chirping and up on the sidelines. He misses that environment. I know he's going to do everything in his power to get back to 100 percent, knowing what he's been through the last two years. He's got a lot of support around him to help him get there, but whatever version of him comes back is definitely a boost, and we'll patiently wait for what that looks like."
The Warriors also have to wait to see how the rest of their roster shapes up. No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman is expected to be back from a season-ending meniscus injury, Kelly Oubre Jr. has to decide what he wants to do in free agency, and the Warriors have upcoming decisions on their own lottery pick and the Minnesota Timberwolves' lottery pick that is top-three protected.
No matter how things shake out, Thompson remains convinced that better days are ahead.
"We ain't done yet," Thompson wrote in a social media post after Friday's game. "I promise you that."
I said people
Nah I don;t agree with that.
That's SOP now across ALL sports and entertainment.
Is it? Could you show me other stars posting their stats?

you serious?
We've seen it before, you can check out any of they timelines if you don't believe

Ph... That's Steph bigging up Wiggins on the Warriors Twitter page.
That's not a player boosting about his own accolades
Are you serious? Russell Westbrook made a post when he broke the trip dub record and talked about how people hate on his game. Which is basically the same thing LeBron did responding to that meme.
Why is it only the players who arent married to white women have some kind of character flaw we have to investigate? Kobe bitch ass dont fuck wit none of his Black family members, why we cant investigate his character off that?
Basketball is a team sport. You average 38 pts on 53% shooting and still lose is all about your teammates not stepping up.Not a good look on Steph's legacy no matter how you slice it for a 2 time MVP to not at least get his squad to the 8th spot. I called it early this season that he's not built to carry a team like other stars but niggas went for my head..
I have nothing against Steph, he's the greatest shooter I've ever seen but cats & the media act like he's not above criticism.
You can't lose at home against the Grizzlies![]()
Well Westbrook is corny for that too.. Let your game do the talking, fuck the talking heads of BSPN and Fox
I can’t disagree with any of this.Untouchable by casual fans and the media likes him he was one of them
he got on tv and said we're not chasing wins and literally 4 games if he cared we'd have been a 4/5 seed
and then he tried to say at the end of the season oh we care about wins
attitude reflect leadership
draymond is a great player i want him on the team he will be on the team
he is an offensive liability i think the curtain was revealed these last 2 games with dummies talking about how important draymond is to the offense
curry is doubled and tripled and he has been his entire run its just that there was more talent
people doubled curry and left kevin durant wide open
they always double and leave klay thompson wide open
if you have knock down shooters then it works because steph is everything
steph did all of this while still not getting the ball enough lol
he dropped 39 last night against a full court guard and double team for 45 minutes
and 47 against the #1 defense in the league doubling and tripling him
if you can't craft things to work and comfortably win when 1 player is taking up 2 and 3 players at a time on every possession
then that's a roster issue and a coach issue.
every time steph isn't doubled he scores lol so teams say ok he's still going to score but we're going to double him and then let everyone else beat us
that's how teams lost over the years and how they're winning now with a roster bob put together
Why are you always trolling and ruining the basketball threads?
Curry's gotta shoot that shot man. You cant pass to Dray. Thats the difference between him and LeMelanin. LeMelanin lives for that shot, Steph looks for a KD or Dray to bail him out.
"Ohh, its not fair they are double and triple teaming me, I cant make them pay with my passing, make it stop!"

Nah its corny getting sensitive over guys achieving milestones and publicly recognizing it. If you don't like them celebrating their accomplishments, stop them on the court. Simple fix.
Why are you always trolling and ruining the basketball threads?
So in order for me to stop feeling that approach is corny, I need to stop them on the court?
They need to not acknowledge career milestones publicly because it might hurt Mack1052's feelings? Tell KD and Kyrie to stop them thats what they get paid the big bucks for. Make them pay for being so boisterous, put them in their place, humble them.![]()
exaaaaaaaaaaactly
I recon this how the series go lookUgly game so far
hold on cuz..
you saying players don't retweet, post and like positive stats about themselves?
