I agree, he is unhinged. He should get a big suspension.

But he didn’t rode the bus. He was the best defensive player of the league and a fantastic facilitator.

And that doesn’t mean everybody shouldn’t be treated equal.

This is the definition of not a team player. You don't do this shit to your team. Players like these only exist because of talent and when the personality isn't acceptable you remove it from the team. When the talent matters more you end up with repeat shit like this.

Yes. You are totally right, but it’s wrong to say that he wasn’t a great player.

It's just as wrong to continually bring it up as some kind of a defense for this behavior IMO. I never said he wasn't just that it shouldn't matter if he's good or bad when this type of behavior occurs.
