You honestly think he’s just making up injuries?

100% yes

What evidence do you have of that? Is it because you claim he’s not injury prone and thus it helps your point if you claim he’s faking his injuries?

If he's faking injuries, then he's not injury prone, right?

This isn't about me, or terminology. I think he's weak and mentally fragile. So the team has handled him with care and gave him the ability to skip everything he wants. He's never forced to participate.

I'm not going to go situation by situation. But I don't think he's hurt right now. Let's take the end of last year though. He was healthy, and they shut him down, using a vague injury excuse. I said at the time that wasn't the first time and he's not expected to play. But everyone just wanted to tank and gave him the rest of the year off.

And he very well may be a character risk, but it’s not one or the other. He can be injury prone and also be a character risk, which is what most people probably think about him, including NBA front offices.

That can be true. I just don't see him getting injured in conventional ways. It's always a day after a game or after he's training. The medical diagnosis are murky and undefined with random timetables. None of it is normal.

Can you think of any player thats ever had hamstring issues like these? Does it seem real? You aren't suspicious at all?
