Jaxson Hayes does this alot posting his highlights after losses, NAW did it before too with congrats from Bled and even Kira.

shite screams "ME" type culture and personally if I'm loosing games frick it I'm not bragging about some shite I did in a game I lost because ultimately that's the main focus.


Just kinda shows these guys don't care about winning as much of the fans which is why I stopped caring weeks ago and supported the tank.

It’s not this that bothers me. It’s the fact that Jaxson played a dog shite game and thinks he did good because he caught a lob.

If it’s a guy like Zion, and he puts up 36 in a loss to the blazers, he can do whatever the frick he wants.

Kira does the same thing. I know it’s easy to make Jaxson the bad apple but even our star pupil does it

The youth of today and their need for constant validation from their peers

NBA is dying because of this exact reason IMO

makes it very tough to care or have passion and loyalty to a team

No, all that stuff is irrelevant, does not matter at all.

When Griffin drafted Anthony Bennett. I can see what personalities of the guys who he was going for. This is absolutely embarsssing.

I thought Langdon would help bring the Nets Magic. But he’s useless af too

We seriously need a vet or someone to call out these guys on this bs

Are we really judging 19-21 yr Olds for being proud of themselves and posting about their accomplishments... like get over yourself and get a life.

Back I go.

So you’re the guy who gives participation trophies to everyone who plays the game? They’re getting paid millions to give us a great product. No one wants to see their team lose in an embarsssing way. Then they show their highlights as if they don’t care that they didn’t just blown a huge lead. If they don’t care, why should we?

Nah, old school players do it all the time, they even had the round table with all the old heads bragging on plays they made whether it was a win or loss. The only difference is these guys have a larger platform with Twitter, Instagram, FB, etc... and the players of past generations didn't. I'm sure A.I. or Tim Hardaway would have posted a few of those broken ankles they left behind win or loss, or Vince or Dominique would posted a few guys they posterized. Point being just about all these guys have egos and at some point especially in their 1st few years in the league bragged about plays they made. I don't think it's not that serious.

Did they do it after the game when they just blown a huge lead or played a horrible game? Even if so, these guys are superstars and carry their teams. Guys like Hayes isn’t even a proven player in the NBA yet. He should get to work on his skills than his social media.


Kobe would be livid if he saw this. Just watch his clip from Jimmy Kimmel. That’s why he’s a champion and they’re not.

You are thinking like a fan.. what does what this man do on a regular basis matters to you. You do not own this team and can't expect your views on someone else. This man came from losing all his mins racked up a few dnp's... let that man feel good that had the chance to play.. live your life not his.

It’s just how these young guys are. LSU gave up 630 yards to miss state and their freshman cb had about 80 stories on his Instagram calling him a dog for his int. Some of these guys just don’t really care about team results as much as people think.

What I wouldn’t give to be the type of sports fan that doesn’t care about anything as long as everyone is having fun

STEALTH TANK. Weather it. Zion hype is part of our culture. They are kids, and handling that pressure is real. We are obviously testing everyone but zion in crunch time. the young ones have to express there values to the team somehow.

Of course I am thinking like a fan. He is getting paid millions to not play basketball but to help us win a championship. You’re blaming the team because he sucks at the game. It’s his fault he isn’t playing because he rather worry about social media than improving his game. He’s putting all this public, of course he will be judged. Any celebrity or sports athlete will get judged if they posted something public. Without that, there won’t be any entertainment. I’m not judging him on his religion, race or orientation. I am judging him on his mentality of being a professional athlete.


He’s representing a team I am rooting for. Look at guys like Antonio Brown on why teams won’t go for him. I’m pretty sure they’re judging on his off field antics than his skills. You sound dumb af thinking these athletes are entitled to just play basketball for fun because they finally made it to the NBA.

I might not own the team but I do buy tickets, watch them play and buy memorabilia/clothings to support them.
