Although I don't think he was saying murder the officer, the fact that he made a judgement call without watching the whole video and doxing a police officer is what concerns me. People will do what they will with the Information given. Trump didn't say storm the capital but he did incite. LeBron didn't say murder the officer but some of his followers will take it that way and by doxing the officer Lebron is inciting. Just my thoughts. People today are freakin lunatics, and this is coming from a guy he's Ted Bundy.

Trump literally told a very specific group of people to go to the capitol and fight after he had being stirring them up for months.

Lebron tweeted you're next to no one in particular right after a cop just stood trial for what he did to floyd.

There is a difference there.

While I generally agree with your statement I think my point that people are crazy and will read into what anyone famous is doing and when you dox the police officer you incite violence. The Trump analogy was a bit off I concede.

Ya so the thing I really disagree with you about is that lebron was calling for the cop to be murdered by saying you're next

The fact that you don't see a problem with what Lebron did is part of the larger problem. LeBron's obvious intent was to inflict this individual pain. Maybe not murder, but pain. He's STILL mad at the guy, mainly because he is white. If the girl had stabbed and killed the other girl, Lebron wouldn't have said a damn thing.

Compare it to Mitchell, who has been tweeting all day, is probably even MORE socially aware, and didn't make an *** of himself over this.

Doxxing people has real world consequences. Someday it might even be you. It was me once. I had people threatening my kids and had to have round the clock police protection for two weeks. Lebron knew what he was doing.
 
People posting about the trial should use the appropriate forum for those discussion and not the game thread. I want to read about the game and not about the trial.

Good idea. The best part of this game is that the Jazz/Rockets records are still perfectly inverse: 44-15 to 15-44. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.

You should make sure to not call the so called "pos" when you have an emergency.

This attitude needs to change and is indicative of what is wrong with law enforcement in America today. many of us have pointed this out. The police are supposed to serve taxpayers. Not taxpayers serve the police and hope they don’t get harassed, abused, or executed.

As an educator, I resent this attitude. I too am publicly employed but I can never forget who I’m supposed to serve. The common good of society should be maintained. Law enforcement have all too often forgotten this.

What a difference a few years make. I remember the rockets offense tearing us to shreds. The tables have turned.

The difference in the defense when Gobert is on the floor and when Favors is on the floor is stunning.

I don’t remember the gap being this wide. In fact, I remember favors spelling Gobert for a few games in that Clipper series. Sure, he wasn’t exactly Gobert but he was a solid replacement. Now? It’s not even close. What happened?

I must’ve missed all of your posts criticizing Trump for his daily attacks on people. Lebron should’ve waited until the facts came out before using his platform to promote action (I don’t believe he meant physical harm but prosecution).

But the fact that you continued to support an obviously racist and corrupt person who spewed vitriol and lies daily, ruining lives all the time, and are suddenly “appalled” at Lebron James, speaks volumes about you, not about James.

Seth Rich
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
Rep Omar
Steve Kerr and Steph Curry
Colin Kaepernick
Megan Rapino
Joe Scarborough’s dead intern Trump insinuated was killed by Joe
Dr. Rick Bright
Alexander Vindman
Mike pence.

Would’ve all appreciated your consistency; not wanting very public officials to inappropriately weigh in on issues prematurely or dishonestly while promoting the public to cause them harm.

This is why banking on the Suns losing isn’t a great strategy just because their schedule looks worse on paper.

The Suns might’ve made the biggest jump in one year that I can remember. They were a dumpster fire just a year ago

Some of it is Favors aging, most of it is that Rudy is just that good. Our defensive sets are not replaceable with anyone other than Rudy Gobert. It is actually insane how good Rudy is in comparison to how he is perceived.

Also, Gobert wasn’t the offensive player he is now as well. The offense basically goes through Gobert. So now there is an offensive drop just as prominent as the drop on defense.
