That's SUCH bullshit. McGee has been made fun of for being a crazy athletic giraffe who has the basketball IQ of an actual giraffe for a very long time. Yeah, he's known for Shaqtin A Fool, but it's because he's made ridiculously bad plays for as long as I can remember. McGee wants it to stop because he's on a good team now, but that's on him. Shaq's not CGI'ing him into stupid basketball plays. Durant chimes in because McGee got handled on Twitter also, and makes a fool of himself. McGee is not wrong for feeling a type of way because he's being made an ass of on live tv for other people's entertainment. However, McGees low basketball IQ and idiot plays in the past and present has put him in this position. In the same token I do not blame Shaq. He has created something and McGee is synonymous with Shaq in a fool. He has to do something to keep TV executives happy. However, on the same token he should realize when it goes to far. In this instance It was a little too far. They got beef and Shaq continues to do it because he can. Nobody told him to stop but he is probably going to hear something now. I don't blame Warriors for defending one of their own as they should. When Westbrook was getting shitted on Durant had his back 100% I get that McGee is tired of being a punching bag, but like you said, it's his own fault. It's not random chance. Shaq is on that show mostly because of his personality and his ability to make people laugh. Shaqtin A Fool has taken off, and he (and TNT) would be wrong to dial it back because it's what the fans want. I do understand where the players are coming from though, in that TNT is raking in money showcasing them and then slamming some of them at halftime and in post-game. But that's the beast. I have no problem with Durant defending him (Kerr did it well), but how he chose to defend him by questioning Shaq's ability and and bringing in that he's a (kind of) cop, it's a bitch move. He just comes off as a whiny dude. He's entering LeBron with the Heat territory in terms of turning fans against him.

Today, I quipped to some Pacers gift shop employees about Rakeem Christmas being a benchwarmer even with the Mad Ants.
Tonight, he's embarrassing Memphis! Though, three fouls already shows his rust from months of inactivity.

I agree with you like I said I think both was waiting to pop off because they have a little beef already and it came to this. I don't blame Shaq for making money for him and his employers and I don't blame Mcgee for feeling some type of way when a guy has been shitting on you on TV for a few years. Yes, the whole Warriors squad defended him. KD took it to a different level which he didn't have to with the cop shit. Same way LBJ came at Barkley bringing up his personal life when Charles only talked about his bball career. I wonder how two faced Shaq is going to be because he was up Chuck ass saying he disrespected LBJ. I hope Charles gets on him for this.

I've been thinking a lot about the Magic Johnson hire and all I have to say about it is this:
Glad you're happy Lakers fans, but don't set your expectations too high or expect too much too soon. Because as a Knicks fan we were the same way when Phil Jackson was hired in the same position and look how that's turned out. Hopefully it turns out better for you than it did for us.

McGee and LBJ are grown ass men in the spotlight. You're going to get shit on by pundits when you suck or act a fool. Get over it.

He was clearly bitching because they had a bad month and then when he got called out for it he went personal for no reason. He went way to hard for a backup PG/Role player calling out the front office and his teammates. McGee should realize he put this on himself for having a poor IQ. I would only say Shaq should ease up a bit because this isn't McGee of the Wizards but a role player on GSW. However, as I said before he brought this himself for his past actions and is essentially a living meme.

I dunno. I mean, yeah, it was immature and all. On the other hand, I liked seeing Frank Isola get called trash.

Word is Casspi got waived by Kings because of Broken Finger Pelicans. Kings traded him away with DMC. Decent enough energy bench player/9th man, but he is made of glass. Missing chunks of time with sickness, calf, and other maladies.

THESE were the Kings I expected after their trade.
50 points and down 20 with 3minutes in the third quarter.
