I enjoy basketball, don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun sport to watch and follow, but why is the community making such a huge deal over one player? Since when has a player, especially one who plays for that a team that has no real emotional significance to him (except for maybe of course where he made his ride), been worried about sticking to a team out of loyalty?
